Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Takes a mean nasty broody for some cats to learn, even when they are still young. Luke would go after chicks and I had to stitch one I beat him off of. Next time he tried it, it wasn't a silkie hen. The EE hen and her chicks were with the rest of the large fowl flock. She went psycho when he went for her chick. To follow that up, the rest of the flock heard and came running to help. He had over a dozen hens after him. For the next several months they attacked any cat they saw on sight. He did learn finally.

Poor Leia. She liked to go lay down and watch the chicks but never even twitched towards them. She found herself on the receiving end of hen attacks too.

Eventually the hens learned to tell them apart. Leia can go plop down by the hens and watch the chicks from up close. Luke gets threatened if he gets too near them.

cockerel that is like danger will rogers

I wouldn't let them look either. I've had 2 surgeries on my lower back for that, and it didn't stay fixed. It lasted a year, then closed up again.

I have a friend here in Raymond who has her nerves "burned".sounds awful...but she was hit in an auto accident, broke her lower back, collar bone & neck, among other things. To stop the pain she gets 'burned', and after a week of that healing, she is pain free for quite a while. The place she goes to for this laser treatment is in Oly...PM me if you want info

Feed stores usually do not have fertile eggs now have heard from others that have gotten them at trader Joe's stores but let us know where you are please glad you joined

Also Health Food Stores carry fertile eggs, usually chickens and ducks, and on occasion, even Goose eggs.

We have nothing round here but think I am going to start going to the little feed store by silver lake down here as our Del's is no more

Just heard of a woman in Toledo mixing & milling 500# for $88....you have to bring a 1 ton PU and silo it, or bring a PU with alot of containers: such as clean empty lidded garbage cans or totes. PM if interested, she will grind what you want, and has a nice selection of lemtils, peas and flax seed.
