Quote: Well as a matter of fact NO those aren't MY nails. MINE ARE MUCH PRETTIER !!! and as for the FB welllll see seems somebody got into the middle of where they had no business (not me). Several of us were already helping and then somebody called law enforcement. There was NOTHING illegal or wrong in any way. So when I spoke out to the one who called the cops. That was the point when I got locked out. Then a while later the entire post and most of what I had posted that night went invisible !!! All seems OK now.

If I can't make it work, then I will just bring them in every night or use my heated waterers.
If it is a newer fish tank heater, it is most likely 100% submersible~ For example, every heater at petsmart is submersible http://www.petsmart.com/family/inde...xonomy/PET/2769248&fbc=1&fbn=Taxonomy|Heaters

My heaters are all at the bottom of my tanks, hidden behind stuff.

OK so IF Kim's heater shorts out and her chickens get zapped the will have a new feather design. Chickens with a fro and frizzle that are Silkie !!!

What will they be called.

South of I-5 exit 111. I'm not sure of lilacs on the wettest south and west bits of the Peninsula; they do need their sun and winter cooling. But, as I sid: if you can come and dig some of the young 'uns, I've got plenty you can experiment with.

We're in a rain shadow and our front yard has plenty of sun - we're on the Hood canal side and our yard faces south. We have two lilacs in the yard and they were thriving this year even with the drought. My sister-in-law lives near you so I'll find out when we'll be in the area next and let you know!

Here is what the person emailed back~


""It has some scratches from my rescue dog who hates it. It hasn't been used for years which is why I'm getting rid of it. The door is a bit slobbered on. So it could be cleaned up and be reasonable. So far it is still here. I have put it out on the corner by the telephone pole. It is the corner of 57th Ave NE and NE 183rd St Kenmore WA 98028."

What I have is 9.6% LIQUID and doesn't list for poultry. This is what I was told to get by those in the know. I have used this with NO PROBLEMS FOR MY BIRDS. I am not sure on the dose I have been told so many but what I have used is 5cc per pint of water for 5 days. MUST be changed DAILY. DO NOT stop early!!!! Others may tell different doses.
