The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Hhhhm, somehow managed to mess up the above multi quote .. still getting my head around how everything works but so far, I am liking it!

That makes 1 who really likes it :lau. Actually I'm used to it now.

It does take a bit of getting used to but you're getting it!

I just looked out and it is snowing like crazy! Need to figure out how to turn the heat up down here in my little computer room, it's chilly.

Move to a warmer area, I think you have a notebook or is it a PC? I'm jealous of the snow but not your temperatures. We're only in the 80's but high humidity and way too warm for October :(

I am drinking water again. Might have a cup of tea later. Feeling poorly, ear infection and a cold coming on.

So sorry, hope you get well soon.

I can’t believe your getting snow! We haven’t gotten a frost yet. Hubby was able to start combining beans today. We could use a frost as the stems are tough yet. Hopefully the week goes well and the rain stays away for 6 weeks ...or till spring! I cleaned my basement today. There was 25 years worth of crap down there. I am donating a lot of stuff. Purging feels great!!:weeQuinton got laid off for the season on Friday... just in time to help the farmer he’s worked for the last 4 years. Colton took the week off to help a friend haul sugar beets. It’s a good money making week for him but sleep deprivation goes with it:rolleyes:

Duh, what is "combining beans"?
Good for you on the purge, I'm trying to absorb some of your energy to do the same:)

I'm saying a quick hello before life gets crazier! The cockatiel breeder rang me just before. He's got an older chick he was going to keep for breeding that he noticed had an enlarged abdomen. She's also got a foot that doesn't work quite right. He thinks the first time parents have landed on her at some point getting into the nestbox. Her abdomen has gone down but they aren't feeding her anymore. He's given her a bit of egg food to get her through the night but he'll drop her off tomorrow with a couple of little ones he was going to bring me later in the week as they are still quite little. That'll bring my total up to 14!!! :eek: :th

14 :th:th

Bay bunnies came spilling out of the nestbox today. They were suddenly there, and everywhere.

They are so darn cute. Did you say you were keeping them all?
 
Hey @sunflour good to see you :frow

Your 80* doesn't sound bad until you said the "h" word...humidity is awful!

The sun finally came out enough here to melt some of the snow, at least enough for the girls to come out of their coop.

No lugging the iMac upstairs for me, but I did find an extra lap blanket that is working just fine. My old laptop is down at the golf course, DH has been using it until he buys his own...at least, that's what he said about a year ago :rolleyes:

No word on egg laying yet? I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!

Oh my goodness, they are all so beautiful! And fantastic that you've made them so friendly.

My three new charges will be here soon. And we had a non tame bird escape this morning and fall down the back of the pantry where there is a little gap! He was stuck. So that turned into a major operation to extract him. Hubby was not impressed. Thankfully the bird seems fine and I do want to move him and his partner into the aviary but I have 5 young ones to find homes for first. Never a dull moment round here!

I want to keep them all, but hopefully some will find homes, 7 more is a bit too many.
 
It is a guinea miracle! I fell asleep this afternoon and did not wake up until after dark. The guineas, only 3 of them and the EE pullets were in the run. That leaves 11 unaccounted for. I thought they might be up in trees. I opened the pop door so the young chickens could go in the coop. Then i went to turn the light on in the coop. What a surprise to see 11 guineas in the other half of the coop!!! A modern day miracle! I had the back door open to diffuse ammonia and they just got up in there! Maybe they are not zombie birds after all? :sick:lau
 
You need a Mama Heating Pad brooder for raising birds. Besides being way more natural (and safer) than heat lamps, that heating pad can be used year round for other things when not being used to brood. Like warming YOU!!

Ooh, I like that idea. A Mama Heating Pad brooder...for me! :thumbsup

A guinea miracle :lol: Glad they aren't zombie birds, that would be a bit scary.
