It's good to know that I am not alone.

I hope that you can get your project done, and over with. I think I must be waiting for you to graduate. I think you have been going to college the whole time I have known you. I'm totally rooting for you. I am going to have to ask; What is your degree going to be in? I am so proud of you for hanging in there when things got tough for you.

Okay that is enough of the proud Mom thing, that I just can't help doing.

Tree fruit and vegetable management.
Hopefully if the credits fall right i should be done in may....

I watched the movie Contagion.

I don't want any feathers from China.

I've not seen it. I'm trying not to buy from countries where we have a huge trade imbalance with (eliminates Mexico and Canada as well). Sometimes it is impossible to avoid it, but I'm hoping that by trying my best to buy American we will keep more of our dollars in our country, support our citizens and hopefully improve our economy. I had not looked at it from a health point of view. Now I'm afraid to - Olivia and her friends had rooster feathers put in their hair on Sunday and they did not come from our yard.

I skin, stretch the hide skin side up on a styrofoam board, stretch with quilt pins, then salt & borax.
Ya'll didn't know the Chickielady took Taxodermy classes??????

I think I agree with Illia, but alot of breeds, most breeds, the hens feather much faster, and evenly.
Evenly is the key here, so first, and secondary wings feathers & tails all going at once.
Cockerals can be fluff for what seems like forever..then get wings, but remain tailess & all but bare fluff on their backs.
I think you have a girlie and a lil boy there.

A heat pump should be more efficient even than plug-in radiant heat; the electric Cadet heaters are the worst thing ever, especially the baseboard kind My son and his fiance were renting a place last winter with electric baseboard heat and paying more for electricity than food.

We went from a heavy-duty maximum size Kenmore toploader (originally bought when we had two kids in cotton diapers) to our first front-loader about fifteen years ago; the Kenmore had a "feature" that "buffered" cold water washes when the tap water was below 60F, and our well water runs 45F in the summer and barely above freezing in winter and being able to wash in actual cold water was part of the energy difference- that and the fact we were going from 11 gallons per fil to 3-6 gallons, and we have a well so water-use translates into electic bills for us.

The windows thing bugs the heck out of me; we could feel the moment that the seals on the windows went, because the radiant heat loss made places that had been comfortable to sit with uncovered windows were suddenly horribly uncomfortable. Apparently some brands of the high-tec R-15 windows are worse than others, and Alpine was the worst; there's also problems associated with mobile-home transportation and installation that damaged the seals before we ever moved in. On the other hand, compared to single-pane aluminum windows, which I swear were designed as radiators.

I wonder if there's an online aquarium fish forum somewhere where you could benefit from other people's experiences?

I had my hired hand today, so was busy.

And then had to make a hairnet for the bigger chicks box, since one of them flew out today and freaked out all four of them left inside the box.
