The Old Folks Home

Oz so happy to hear that you are safely with the family. Gotta love snuggle time with the kids and with Mrs. Oz.

Just want to remind everyone about the "Block Member" button that bamadude (and others) was so kind to point out to us. Personally, I don't care for trolling. Just sayin'....

I'm just gonna sit over here by my lonesome till y'all are done with politics. Two reasons I don't discuss either politics or religion...1. Both are very personal to me and 2. I don't like the way it makes people all mad at each other. So I'm gonna start a pot of coffee, break out the Kailua look at pictures of y'all's chickens.

Hi oz!!! Glad you made it safe and sound. Maddy and I are watching a "Fairly Odd Parents" marathon and I think my brain is turning to mush.
Big thunderstorm is making it's way through Limestone right now. We barely had time to get the chickens back in the run before the skies opened up. Lured them in with pb&j crusts.

When my grandson was visiting this spring (he's almost 2 now), we watched Fairly Odd Parents sometimes and he LOVED it!! Continued Prayers for Maddy!
 
This was such a nice forum, why tear it up with politics. There are politico forums, where any that are so inclined, may go voice your political views. We all have them, but are wise enough not to voice them here. While we don't adhere strictly to chickens, all out political debates are not appropriate here. The saying goes, "There is a time, and place for everything." This is not the place.

I washed off the poop boards, and turned the dirt in the coops yesterday. I decided to lift up one of the poop boards to adjust it's position. There are usually bug under them, which the chickens enjoy scurrying around and eating. When I lifted the board, a bunch of field mice came running out, and I discovered they had tunnels under there, and even pinkies. Yes, I screamed like a girl as all the mice scurried away! The rooster crowed at me for daring to shatter the silence in his coop, while the rest of the chickens just stood there and watched. I turned the dirt under the poop board, destroying their tunnels. Today, I will remove all poop boards, and leave them out of the coops for awhile. I hope I don't encounter anymore mice. UGH! YUCK! EWWW! BLECH!

I got a spray bottle, and misted all around the coop with a mixture of water, and vanilla extract. It DOES help with mosquitoes. I have used basil for fly control for the past two years.
 
@ronott1 I came across this on another thread, Ron, and wondered if this is what I should be doing. Along with taking them out of the incubator for 2 hours on day 8 and spritzing with water until day 18. I'm on day 5 now and just started turning last night. I don't want to screw this up because these are good White plymouth rocks. The SG Dorkings are coming in 5 days.
 
And how could MSNBC keep Piers Morgan whose flagrant lies about things he disapproved used to leave my husband and I staring at each other in amazement. Even the Brits who are not known for their opposition to corruption among the elites or overbearing government rejected him after his rather hilarious scandal - which wasn't funny for those he scapegoated in order to evade responsibility, criminal and otherwise.

That whole channel is insane.
