You don't give the apple seeds to them do you? They contain cyanide.My flock expects treats every time I step out that door! I give them the leftover scraps from dinner, an apple core, meal worms, etc. It really is up to you as to how often you give them treats. It is definitely a good way to get them to come to you.Even when I come back from the mailbox, they think I have treats! Yes, they inspect my mail.

no I rarely do 2 babysitting jobs in one day. The first job was for a couple who were getting re-certified to watch foster children...as in babysitting them while the foster parents go out for a date night. Here in Texas, you can't leave foster kids with just anyone, they have to go through a pretty rigorous training once a year before you can leave them. So, I have some friends who have foster kids and they have friends who have gone through this training and so I was watching their kids, clear as mud????I bet you were tired! Do you have to pull a double often?
Did the roofers show up? Hope they got a lot done.
So sorry you were sick, I hope your feeling much better now.
Wow! That's scary how much those two look alike!!
We lost internet service sometime Sunday morning. They finally got it fixed sometime today while I was at work.
We ended up not fixing breakfast this weekend, but I just had breakfast for supper. Look what I got out of 2 of Arnet's eggs:
They sure were good!! I've got about 7 more of those in the fridge.

The evening job was with the sitting company I work for.
back pain is no fun at all. I suffered for a year with 2 crushed vertebrate and finally had the surgery to get them re-inflated. It is much better now, but I still can't do as much as I used to. oh well, old age will catch up to us whether or not we like it!!
Yes!!! They close on Aug 15 but are leasing back until Sept 1. I spoke to my neighbor and since they will do a final walk through the day before they move in, we are waiting until Sept 2 to move the chickens back. I go everyday to see them. and get the eggs. and give them treats. etc.
morning and night before they moved and now, just once a day, sometimes only every other day. Although I go over every day, I don't always have treats. It is hard to carry food, treats, etc. But they let me know it if I don't show up with treats. THEY ARE LOUD!Try smearing peanut butter on the trip thing and adding some cat food or corn to it. He will have no choice but to come in to eat. He should trip it while eating then.
Must have been still suffering the side effects from being sick over the weekend.You can make butter in the mixer too. May work better that way. My friend did that by accident once when we were 18.
My sinus headache from Saturday is finally gone today. Woke up with it though. Went out for a ride in the 90% humidity (yuck!) and it is now gone. It was so good to be out riding again. I only go out once last week... I hope I can get out a few more times this week.
I have a question.... How often do you give your birds treats?
I'm so glad!
Yeah!
So the cyanide in the seeds doesn't bother them? Interesting.....I put my apple cores in the food processor. Apples are chopped up very fine (seed and all).

It was so good Trevor ate 2 big pieces - half of it. He also had 2 pieces of my carrot cake - one before supper and one after, plus some of the biscuits I baked last night. He was very full when he left. I like to feed him like that. I don't think he eats enough. He doesn't usually snack and doesn't usually eat that much at a meal, although I think he is eating a better amount now. He is 6'2" and only weighs about 150 pounds (I think - he might be up to 160 now). Anyways.... the house smells amazing right now. 
I guess what method you use?
I really want to use the cone/ bleed out method, but i'm worried I'll miss the artery and cause a little too much misery.
There's a guy I found to do them closer but he has a 25 bird minimum and that's not happening yet! lol
So I'll probably end up doing them myself. Hubbs said he won't do it lol
Take care of that back!
