Texas

Thank you! I'm so happy to be back after 10 years away. Now all I have to do is find a home with a couple of acres to buy and get some chickens! Then I'll be completely happy again. I really miss my girls. They found a lovely new home in Oregon, but it was so hard to leave them there.
Welcome!
 
I posted pictures of the Bluebonnet Classic if you want to see some of the birds that were there.

Wow! You covered the show very well!! Having never been to a poultry show I was trying to describe it to my husband when i returned home. We used to show dogs but the thing that cracked me up was all of the roosters all going off at once at 9 am. If you walked up to a cage they would give you a look and then crow their loudest. You couldn't hear the girl who was doing announcements over the loudspeaker.
 
What a fall and winter it has been. What predator leaves nothing but the head? There isn't even a bunch of feathers left behind. I've never had a predator problem while living at this home. So far I have had losses to a two legged predator and now a critter.


Ugh. Sorry for your loss. The wind has been blowing so hard here I doubt if there would have been any feathers to find.
 
I need some advice.

I've lived my adult life overseas in company housing where I called maintenance when a light bulb needed changing. Neither me nor my husband are remotely handy. I develop a rash if I touch a screw driver. A hammer caused painful blisters.

It seems I have a problem with the sump pump in the cabana. There's a big, bright red light that's turned itself on on top of a box with "Advanced Aerobic Programmer" written on it. The previous owner told my husband that was for the sump pump. All the circuits breakers seem to be on.

My house is above the septic tank, but the cabana by the pool is not. I gather I do not use any sink or toilet in the cababana. Can anyone give me some insight into what could be going on? Will I have a sewage nightmare, with the septic tank backing up through the toilet? (It was emptied and cleaned out before we bought the place 18 months ago.) I am having visions of Lucy Ricardo and the chocolate factory, but substitute sewage instead.

Who do I call?

Thanks for any advice.

Is it an aerobic septic system? Ours dosent have to be pumped very often but it runs a sprinkler on a twice a day basis. or when the water level triggers it. Did the owner leave a manual for the system?
