There are some excelsior pads you can get from supply stores. I think I'd just get one of those foam mats that they sell for standing on in the kitchen and cut it to size. Sometimes you can find them really cheap. Then could try putting shavings or whatever on them again.

Tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds. Sesame butter, I guess. It is in hummus.

Congrats! Nothing beats that first egg! Unless it's the first egg from every layer, or your first chicks, or your first chicks from your own eggs... Oh, chickens are the gift that just keep on giving and giving!

Welcome - I'm not far from you - just across the bridge in University Place and I love Silkies too! Love all my birds but for different reasons. The thread moves fast so be prepared to hang on!

I was just going to suggest the excelsior pads. I get mine from eggcartons.com. Love them!

Oh man there is so much going on here with in the lives of BYC folks.

Sweetlilbaby- I really hope that you are able to find the right pup for you and yes I agree Craigslisters can be a real pain in the pa toot. But then again I have met some really great people there too.

ChickAudie- I think it was you (

me if I am wrong) that is getting married.... Yaaaaay

that is great! Congrats to the both of you. (Talking about this makes me want to pull out my wedding dress and run around the house in it until everyone gets home

) I can totally see a blue silkie walking down the isle with a diaper on that has the rings attached to it. You may have to drag a treat on a string down the isle to get her to do it, but I can see it!

I just got back from (running errands and) meeting walady944 and her DH. See she had mentioned that she has some "extra" chicks and some of them were Pollish chicks. Now I have been thinking about getting some of those for a while now. We had a great little visit (wish I could have stayed longer) I got to see where they are setting up her coop and the bathroom that the chicks have taken over

for now. She had a few chicks that we could not figure out what they are. So I came home with one black pollish, one buff pollish and a mystery chick, guess we will just have to wait and see what it turns out to be. Also when she ordered her chicks I think she ordered straight run so we'll also see if we have any boys in the bunch. Oh these Pollish are so darn cute. Pics will come in a bit.

CR- I really hope you and your DW can make it to the show, if not it will be a bummer and you both will be missed there.

Jess- That is really great of you to take on the task of the potluck. I would offer to bring something but not only can I not cook very much, but there is now way I could make anything with the restrictions that everyone here has. My luck I would end up making everyone sick with my food

.


flirty31-

Congrats on your first egg. That is so great, I remember my first egg and oh what a shock it was. I had not done to much reading on breeds and did not know that chickens could lay blue or green eggs. So when my first egg was bright BLUE, I thought I was losing my mind! You will always remember your first egg. Do you know which of your chickens laid it?
