Maybe this isn't the place to ask this but i think several of you have kids.    Any ideas how to get the smell of vomit out of a carpet?   Also how to get the stain out?   I rent i cannot replace the carpet because the landlord seems to be scared i'll put a carpet in that might stain or something.   The carpets are white.   Why do they even make white carpet?   Why would a landlord put white carpet in?  I mean seriously?    

All i can think is maybe rip that carpet out if i find some used carpet cheap and not say anything to the landlord.  maybe it's wrong but it's a white carpet with half of that rooms floor stained pinkish red.   My niece had a tall glass of powerade (red) before bed.   *sigh*

I tried vinegar last night to keep the dogs away from the room and take the smell out.   After the smell of vinegar was gone it went back to the puke smell.  I tried lysol, Perfume, mens spray deoderant, Carpet shampoo.....    All of them wore off quickly going back to the smell.      it's just so gross.   Any ideas?     I'm not a mom I don't know how to clean this up.

I was a nurse's aide and then a nurse. The best thing I have found to get rid of bad smells is minty mouthwash. It helps to flick some of the mouthwash on nearby fabrics - curtains, bedspreads, pillows, etc. That helps to eliminate the odor at a higher level in the environment. Red is a really hard color to get out of anything. I would look for a carpet stain remover. A lot of them work. Good luck!

Right now I have about 30 Black Sumatra Bantam chicks that range from 1-2 weeks old. Right now I'm not sure how many I am going to keep, but I know it won't be all 30. Would anyone be interested in purchasing some of these in the near future? If you're interested, please PM me!

I've had the best luck getting organic smells out with Kids N Pets. Probably any enzymatic cleaner would work well though. I've also heard, but never tried it, that if you dissolve a bunch of baking soda in water, soak the stain with the solution and let it dry, then vacuum it up, that will help, too.

And that naked pic thing is funny and weird. You should take a screen shot of your phone and post it (with certain parts covered, of course!).

I'm on my iPhone an I just see chickens.

I know my babies are still tiny, but when will Lucy start taking them in the coop at night? Should I make them stay in the confined area of the run for a few more weeks and then just remove the partition and let her do whatever she wants? Should I add a low roost in the coop for the happy family?

After I let my broody out of the tractor to range with everyone else, at night she chose to take the chicks to the tractor. Lucy will take them in eventually, when she feels they will be safe enough to be in tight, close proximity of the other birds.

And I saw no neked woman in your pics.

If you get a rooster that is about three months old and introduce it to your hens, the youngest of which are about nine months, how will that alter relationship dynamics when he's older? I imagine that the temperament of the rooster is probably the most important factor, but will he be more respectful of them if he's introduced at a much younger age? Feel free to ignore me if this is a dumb question.

I don't have as much experience with roosters as some. But my boys were introduced gradually since they were about 4 months old and once the hormomones kick in it's kind of up to his temperment and how hard the girls fight him. And how smooth his moves are.

I don't know if there really is a good (helpful) answer to this. I can tell you that I have never worried about it. I have put young roosters in with established flocks and I have put older roosters in with established flock. I really have not noticed any issues. You are right a lot depends on the roo AND on the lead hen.
Another thing I do is all additions to any of my flocks are done at night. One because then they all wake in the morning and the new birds aren't noticed as much and 2 because I don't shop for birds during the day light ! ! !
