Is 52% humidity okay for an incubator? That's the lowest I've been able to get it.

Has anyone here ever made their own ACV before? I was reading a blog earlier today with three different methods and was wondering what the best method for me might be. I've got nothing but time and a curious mind so would like to make my own. Can't be that different from brewing wine, could it? Or I suppose it could. Different method, different product, different purpose. Never mind. Nothing like making wine.

Id love to try but dont have a idea, let me know if you find out..

Demon passed on today
Threw the tears and pain I am searching for a good breeder that isn't over priced. Trying to keep my mind off of him and on better things. I would spend time with my chickens but it just reminds me that he's not here to watch over them.

Im so sorry,

Let's all make fun of the woman with no impulse control.

J/K. I understand we're all pretty much in the same boat! As far as the Cochins, I'm guessing you're referring to that brilliant red Cochin rooster that shone like a fiery sun yesterday? Gorgeous. I can't wait to see what colors I get. Too bad I won't be keeping them although I'm afraid this may be another myth I'm telling myself.

Yesterday after I posted this photo on Facebook, my DD who is away at college at WSU commented "Mom! No more!", as if I'm a sick hoarder of some kind who required intervention. I had to reassure her I would not be keeping these chicks. They just need to feather out and go off to happy new homes. No problem.

And yes, after I saw the BLRW I thought "oh what harm in just picking up a couple of eggs"?

I might need help after all.

Here's a link to the blog. I might just have to try one or two of these methods and see if it works for me. Looks like it can take a while though - weeks to months. But there's no harm in trying.

I took in a 2 year old dog.
She was abused by her family and deemed to be a lost cause.

The first few months were rough. Passive/ aggression and potty issues in the house.

Now, she is the BEST dog that has ever owned me.

But I'm looking for a dog to train as a service dog. A dog that has had aggression or fear issues Cannot be a service dog.

Get a younger pup with no established problems. many of the herding dogs work as well as labs. Standard poodles are very smart also.

I filled out an application online for a pup at a rescue. It's an american bully/great dane mix. Hoping they accept me as it's new owner. Its only 14 weeks old. Beautiful boy pup. he's a love everyone and everything pup. They are keeping him in a foster with a cat.

DH and I went to visit CowGirlGrace. I went for 6 eggs, came home with 10. He was no darn help at all in restraining me. If I hadn't stopped myself I could have come home with as many as I wanted. Thank goodness for my amazing self control. I took them down to the VF Silkie Coop and gave them to Priscilla and Lucille. Lucille, our lavender Silkie, apparently is a magician because no sooner had I offered her 5 eggs but they had disappeared, although I suspect she hid them under her flattened, fluffy body. Priscilla looked at them quizzically for a few minutes. One, then two eggs went underneath her while three others sat exposed. By the time I left though she fluffed up and over the remaining three. Just then Pearlie June came bopping into the coop and began to complain loudly that the other two girls had eggs and she did not. She just got done being broody a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know she was going to be ticked off about it. I swear I wasn't playing favorites. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I have some cute video I took with the iPhone but I don't really know how to load it here. I'll have to look at that. In the meantime - here's what we started with. 4 wheaten Ameraucana eggs, 2 BLRW, and 4 cochins. I've never wanted any little cochins before but Cowgirlgrace's were just adorable. I'm going to re-home these when they're big enough. I mean it. Oh and thanks to all of you who've been posting all your cute chicks pics lately. You all are a bad influence.

NICE COLOR
