I have a big bag of sunflower seeds that was in a metal garbage can in my garage for about a year. Safe to give them to the girls? Or should I pitch them?

If they were stored dry and show no sign of mold or dust then I would use them, they may be kind of dry but could be ok.
Other option is to wait till spring, till up a sunny area and scatter some to see if they will grow for next winter. Some seeds are hybridized or treated so they won't grow but a handful is worth a try in a sunny corner.

stored dry in a lidded metal can. Bag unopened. I'll have a look at it tomorrow to see if they are ok.

Are you folks worried about Avian Flu?

No, I’m more worried about Evian flu.
Seriously, no, I never got anxious about it.

I gave the dog his first bath in months, and I had forgotten just how white his stomach is.

To be clear -- I am not worried about myself -- worried about my chickens. I have only had chickens 2 years and haven't been through this kind of scare before.

I'm dreading the day we actually have to bath Smores. She's 100 lbs with really bad hips. Getting her in and out of the tub is going to be rough. We may have to just do it in the summer, outside, with a house lol

Keep your eye on car wash signs. I see “dog wash” signs on a lot of them. There’s a ramp going up into the tub. Bring your own towels though. They only have paper towels in the machine.

Closest dog wash is tractor supply about 40 minutes away. She's not good around other people or dogs so that's a no go. That, and I can only imagine the amount of hair she'd throw all over my car lol
