So I tell you getting woke up at 12:30 by oldest son saying I just pick up younger brother he was in a accident its stinks! A dog ran out in front of his car he turned away and over corrected to much. Said the car turned all the way around Mom, asked him if he hurt anyplace he said no just my hands. Poor kid just got the car 2 months ago. Thank goodness he's ok. Just got the car back home so now we have to see whats wrong with it. He hit a big rock or something ( but hay mom not the dog) yep had a talk about his safety verse the dog ..

"MGSU" bought me a chicken from an auction once because it looked like a really stunning bird. It caused a lot of problems in my flock and cost quite a bit in testing and vet bills, not to mention stress on me.

BUT what I did was mix half a bottle of Lever 2000 Pure Rain body wash with a quart of Hydrogen Peroxide in a bucket, dumped the solution on the skunk, trap, and surrounding dirt, waited a little bit, then I dumped the skunk into a Glad ForceFlex bag with Febreeze scent (which is NOT scented enough to keep the skunk smell out of your nose, but it worked well enough, good thing trash pick up is tomorrow morning!) THEN I took an entire box of Arm n Hammer pet odor eliminator powder for carpets, in fresh rain scent, and sprinkled the whole area...waiting for the impending rain to do it's job with that. By the time I was sprinkling that stuff I could breathe normally, it still reeked, but didn't make me

Yeah they are. It was pretty little though which worries me that it's a juvie, and the parents are still around....

Thanks. Yeah I decided not to go to the auction, unless it's just for fun, to check things out; won't be risking bringing sick birds home. Rather safe than sorry. Whoever responded to my post about not wanting to pay a lot of money for a bird took it WAY out of context and kinda freaked out, don't know what their problem was. Why do people care what others do for crying out loud? Oh well, s/he said they won't be back until fall

Oh no they are really nice, she didnt mean it in a bad way at all Im sure..

I don't want to keep the chicks. We're very happy with our 3 pullets. The ideal situation would be to find someone who had eggs and wanted us to incubate chickens for them. It would purely be a science experiment for the kids. We just want to incubate a few (no more than 6 eggs) and hoping at least 2 of them will hatch (so no baby chick is alone - that would be sad).

If there is anybody here that would let us incubate a few chicks for you, and would be willing to take the chicks after they are a few days old off our hands, we would love it! They wouldn't be anywhere near our tiny flock at all. They'd be incubated in the house, and the chicks would be kept in a brooder in the house until they were delivered to their new home.

Sent you a PM

Has anyone given their chickens eggplant? I can't find any info on whether it's okay, but since they are in the nightshade family I want to double check before giving them any. Thanks!
