My machine hates me as well, I usually sew by hand but there are somethings I'd rather do no sew or with a machine. Please let us know how it works out, I'm sure I could use a few of those in the near future.
Sounds like my friend's tea cup yorkie, she'll bury herself in blankets or under anything she can when cameras are near. All of my pets (so far) are hams....one dog will go out of her way to be in the pic

You're responsible, working and not worried about partying, that'd throw most people off.

Hopefully you can find some where that is better for you and your "kids."

Just double check the zoning before you put the money into it...It'd suck to buy land and not be able to keep the "kids" X's 2...

Talking of dogs & taking pics...Photo bomb by Caesar:

I made miss fizz her apron. Kind of winged it so we'll see how it stays on. And literally seconds after taking that picture Mr silk decided to do his business on her and try it out. Seemed to work. Think I will make one more just slightly longer, 7" and might need to bring the holes for her wings in a little closer. Guess she's not too thrilled since she went in the coop and hasn't come back out.
And the girls checking her out lol

that is so funny..

, they are like...oh, where did you go today? ahuh...and she put THIS on you?... that is awesome!! looks like a little shirt, so cute

I think it's great, if I ever get a Boyfriend for the girls...I hope they are styling like your girl

I'm 22 pages behind with no time to catch up. My entire last 4 days have been in the garage working on vehicles. I managed to lock down my eggs last night... 4 eggs were pipped. I have 4 poults in my hatcher at the moment! And my car is still broke down...

No more dead chicks. No more sick chicks. I eliminated 26 cockerels over the weekend, too.

so glad to hear things are calming down for you!

...chicken wise.....sorry about the car, we should all go back to horses...

I heard my mother hen clucking away in the bushes earlier. Thinking she was laying an egg in there I went to investigate, her baby is gone. I'm thinking snake, and I hope it was, because that's better than a hawk getting it.

She only had one, and now she's upset. She hasn't left that spot in 2 hours. I'm thinking of slipping an evil baby roo chick that I have in tonight. Do you think she'd take a 2 week old chick?

sorry

We should all go back to horses...hee hee. You funny.

It needs to be said, 'Mites are the WORST'. I feel them crawling on me for DAYS after they're gone. I seriously consider burning the coops down and starting over. arrrrrrgh!!!

...oh my...i do not particularly enjoy creepy -crawly.... When I had first started doing hair. I had a client come in, I cut her son's hair & only after we were finished..he started scratching his head & the mother said.."oh yeah...he has been just itching & scratching his head like crazy today..what do think it is?" ...it was my own fault..i should have checked first..lesson learned...I looked DOWN to his scalp & there it went..scurrying through his hair.(lice)..I think I died a little....took me two weeks to finally calm down enough to were I knew I didn't have them & didn't bring them home to my girls who at that time had very long hair...I feel for you....sorry

Welcome! Nice to see a new face in the Western part of the state! If you check out the link in a bunch of the members signature lines you will find a map to where many of us are.
I think Motorcyclechick, Missy, Sallysunshine and others have the link.
In fact, Blarneyeggs has it and she posted just above you a couple of posts.

Quote: The good thing about this is, bird mites & bird lice DO NOT like people. You can't catch them from your birds. They may crawl across your skin while you are handling your birds but they make a fast departure as soon as they figure out you do not have feathers for them to cling to & lay eggs on. They WILL NOT get in your hair like people lice will.

As for treatment (for worms & all bugs-except maybe scaly leg mites) I have found ivermectin to work the best. Bugs are gone within 24 hours. Toss eggs for 2-3 days or just stuff them all in the bator instead of eating them & you are good for at least a month. I treat every bird as they come in & then don't have to treat the whole flock as often. I think the last time I treated everyone at once was October or November. (I got bedding hay from my ex-landlord & it was crawling with mites.) Now I just pick a pen or 2 each month & treat them about every 2-3 month & everyone has been fine.

Sorry about your car, but glad you haven't lost any more chicks.

I'm hoping my girls will tolerate the aprons as I plan on keeping a few boys, I hope a 9 to 1 ratio (hen to roo) will be enough for fertility and to keeps fights to a min.

My eggs have had several 100% hatches & usually do better for everyone else than they do for me...LOL Wingstone has some of my duckies hatching right now. I sent her 40+ eggs.

What kinds of ducks do you have?
