I have no idea !
Maybe a Nanny service could tell you what they pay their nannies ?
Good Luck with it though, it is going to be alot of hard work keeping up with toddlers and a new baby is hard work !

I don't have that problem, it has the lip all around it, and so they eat and move the food around but I don't lose any...maybe you had a different design then I do. I know mine is much different then if they were standing and eating out of a shoe box...

Must be, I had a metal one..and was like a shoe box with a lid that opened....the birds made a heck of a mess out of it, and it was outrageously expensive.
Even a lip...if it has a hole bigger than their heads, they sweep feed out, messy birds.
I think the young ones are the messiest.

Yeah I am not sure...I suppose if they tried really really hard they could, but the lip is like 1.5" all around and I have never had any issues with it. Maybe the angle on the feeder you had was too sharp so the feed was all they way at the top. Then maybe when they moved the feed around with their head it would fly out...I am not sure, it's too bad it did not work for you, I really enjoy it, and it has solved a lot of problems for us.

well its turned in.

killing my time in a lab because something has to take its time (90) minutes to incubate...

i think i will have to get my wisdom teeth taken out at the beginning of summer break rather than later.....

my right lower molar started bleeding ( i take good care) and it hurts. and the top right one is starting to hurt at the back.

the x ray last year showed i have a full set and they are all waiting directly underneath my molars.... so yeah...

I should have noticed that they might be moving.

I have been chewing gum every day and absentmindedly chew on random things.... i'm like a puppy. guess they were moving causing my mouth to 'itch'

has anyone else put their wisdom teeth off to the last minute? what did they experience to know it was time???

We mostly do shed roofs just cuz it is easier to build.
We are building a coop now that is to have a regular roof, hinged on either side so it can be lifted to peek inside.
The rest of our coops are walk ins, this new one will be shorter, and up off the ground. There is a permenent thread here where people have posted all sorts of coops & some offer directions, see the front page.

And welcome!!

Here is the link, and you can see "Coops Designs" at the top of the page.

I have a 6x12 dog kennel that I have put a metal roof on. If you look at my page BYC you can see the corner of the roof on the right. I can see if I have better pics if ya want.
