LaSombra...you could maybe call Montesano Farm and Garden and ask them if there is a Purina dealer closer to you that may carry the DE ?
I am going to work~
I probably do want the blur roo too !
Cannot see any hackle at all !

I've purchased DE at our local Cenex Co-op. It was $20 for the container but it's lasted awhile. I just noticed that Azure Standard sells it reasonably so if you can order from them that might be the way to go. (Azure is a company in Oregon that ships up here if you have a drop site. You can UPS it but that gets expensive.)

There is a feed store locally where I like to get purina stuff and they didn't even know what DE was

They're a great store, just didn't know about DE.

I had an idea about that roo... would you like to just do a trade, him for one of your blue girls? I only have 1 girl...

I am getting my DE in 50lbs bags at Bill Country Animal Feed on Auburn Enumclaw Hwy. The trick would be to come up for the auction one Saturday (at 11am) and pick up a bag on the way home. I would also call and have them hold it for you. I walked in one day and they were out it. It not a problem for me as I am much closer, but if you are coming from a distance I would want a guarantee that it was in stock.,

So are you eating the eggs, even though you are treating for worms with Wazine every 30 days?

No eating of eggs when treating with Ivermectin, but Wazine is said to be safe, and is actually used in alot of human treatment, such as kidney stones and gout medication...my dad takes it daily...but we do not sell those eggs to anyone else lest someone have an allergy.
It is fine to feed to your dogs, and you have dogs !

Good to know. The Ivermectin is safe for dogs apparently also.

They got a hold of one of the tubes of it and I only found parts of the tube.

I have to tell on myself that I was raised to be frugal, by a mother who is just plain cheap. (She know this) So there was no way that I could bring myself to throw out eggs.

The dogs and girls ate very well that month.

It's not like they don't eat well all the time, but just better that month.

They are all convinced that I am very mean

, and that just nasty old 50 dollars a bag dog kibbles, is cruel and unusual punishment.

Now knowing that kidney stones are treated with wazine, is going to make me do a little research. I have had the special privilege of having at least 2 bouts of them. It is kind of okay to start vomiting from the pain, because then you know that the worst is nearly past.

it occurred to me the other day that I rarely cry because of pain anymore, and that the thought, that it might be funner to vomit is a better clue as to the pain levels for me. I am kind of tickled to have lived long enough to get to this point. That make me one

in the head puppy.

The Waizine should be okay for the cats to then?

They have been bring me gifts. I am so happy that none of these gifts has ever survived the trip to the door.

Damn! I could have more chickens under the old rules! (expletive deleted)

Does that include parrots and lovebirds, finches and the like ?

Does it include fowl inside your house or just fowl outside in the yard ?
I read about a guy who locked his roo in his garage every night, and no one could hear him in the no-crow-hours.

I would read that as Fowl = chickens, duck, and geese, and such. The other smaller birds, and parrots are rarely considered in the whole pet thing let alone the number of fowl. Most city officials really don't understand that the term fowl in English can be used to refer to any bird. The animals that get people in trouble always seem to be the ones that a neighbor can see or hear. Otherwise what the neighbor don't know about, the neighbor can't complain about. I would think that most lawyers will have the same trouble with understanding the differences in animals and classifications of animals within law, unless they specialize in Animal law. And as far as I can tell there isn't very much in the way of laws that protect animals. I would think that you would need a zoo-keeper with a law degree. It seems that most laws are awfully vague in language.

I would get as close as I can to complying with the law, and hope that you never get a neighbor that wants to create a stink about you having your flock. I would keep your grandfathered rooster for as long as you can. There are areas of the city where there are large emigrant populations and you can hear a lot of roosters crowing all the time. So one in the area where you are at is not going to get a lot of notice by most that live nearby. The rooster crowing is not as bad as the car alarms going off.

My sister has lived just west of you in the Greenlake/Crownhill neighborhoods for nearly 30 years without any troubles from neighbors, about her small flock. She has kept between 4 and as many as 8 birds at anytime during those years. She does live on a very large lot. Her biggest trouble has been raccoons. As far as I know she has never had code enforcement make any comments. They have had building inspectors come to the house on numerous occasions. So it is not like they keep to themselves and hide everything.
Right down the street from them is a family that has a couple of goats on a rather small house lot. Most of the neighborhoods up where you are at are very much live and let live neighborhoods.

Now, any sign of the Eagle back ?

It was seen later the same day, but not since. The girls haven't been out of the tractor all week. They enjoyed getting out for a good dust bath yesterday evening. I was with them and kept them under the trees, not out in the open. I guess that's the way it will have to be.

So do I have a Chickitty or a Caticken?!

Haha!!!

Do you think the flock will accept her?

Poor Mia. She's always been so easy going, even in her old age...

 

[justbugged]

I think you have an irked puss-n-chicken. She looks remarkably okay considering the costume.

I have been given less than a minute or 2 to live for even thinking about trying anything similar, in this lifetime. Maybe Mia lived with my younger sisters in a previous life. That I think is my best theory of the moment. Wait one more, does it cluck or meow?

I like to say that I've "Tortured Her with Love" since she was a baby kitten.

She's showing her age the last few years. Being 12 now, I'm not sure I want to think of what will happen when she leaves us.

But I didn't do this get-up without prompt. Her "Aunt" (my sister) found this outfit and gave it to me when I went to visit family earlier this month. I had to take a picture of Mia with her new outfit.

And my husband thought of the name for her. I like "Chickitty".
