While I am not one of the most knowledgeable on here I will try to help ya with what I do. I don't use a heat lamp for my birds after they are fully feathered and have some good size. I do use a regular light 90 watt on a timer during winter. I sett my timers to come on early and go off after daylight. I then let the birds go to bed with the sun. The reason I do this is that from what I know the birds need 14 hours of light to help maintain egg production.
As for putting light on your birds at this point. I am not sure. Please keep in mind that this is just my opinion and what I find works for me. Others may tell you different and you may still find something else works better for you.

You NAMED YOUR CHICKENS

Oh my none of us would ever think of that (yeah right he's lyin) I think it would be reasonable to say that many on here have named chickens and

know each others chickens by name.
Also mark your calender or Dec 3. There is a chicken show in Chehalis at the SWW fair grounds. This would a good chance to be enabled even more and meet several from here. I plan to be there as a vendor with metal art.

I would have to agree with CR...no one here names their birds...for that matter I bet that :
Adam
Milly
Martha
Alice
Hanna
Sally
Emily
Raven
Amelia
The Barred Rock Bitties (which there are 5)
Herman (R.I.P)
and
Lilly (R.I.P)

would have to agree that naming your birds is just plum crazy.
BTW...I think that they know their names and will come when called. Or ignore when called...which ever they feel like doing.

Our chickens get names once we know we are keeping them. They all come when their names are called

I encourage this by saying their name when I hand feed them.

Walter's cows may not be too happy with the flying gourds either!!
My son made a potato cannon a few years ago..boy do they have fun with it..it shoots really far!
Looks like a bazooka!!
It is hysterical to watch !!

Yes this would be kind of like a JUMBO spud gun. I am thinking 8" or 10" diameter barrel.



You are crazy insane.

I have extra pumpkins if you want them.

No it is slowly getting better and I am being (feels lazy) careful not to risk any more damage right now! Is just hard for me to do.

After the dragging out of 2 deer, DH's back is really sore.
You remember he squished all his disks when he flew off the top of a 2 story building & landed on his heels?
He has been taking it easy lately too...but we have got to get the pump house built, winter is coming!!
Pop some viagra & off we go
(He takes Naproxen & calls it his viagra

)

Ummmm you do know that Viagra is for other symptoms...not back pain. He may become a pain in your back/neck if you keep giving him Viagra....

Yes.
DennisElk, and he is a lurker, and he has a buddy who deals with repairs on forclosed homes..maybe if he is lurking he may know of an investor ?
Or rentals available around the area?
And let T-Hi know?

i knew this was upcoming, and have been keeping an eye out.

I am worried for her and the girls....

Please pass this info onto to T-HI:

Depending on the original type of loan....there is/was a program called Cash for Keys. Like I said...depending on the bank and type of loan (ie, Fannie Mae, etc) the bank will pay for her to rehome and help with moving expenses. She needs to talk to the bank and the government agency who backed it. I don't know if this is still going on...but it is worth checking into. Also, around her...some banks have started the forclosure process and keep threatening to "auction" and 2 years later it still has not happened. Some of these people have stayed in the house this entire time, rent free. Still have an exit strategy...but check into EVERYTHING.....there may be help out there for her.

Oh, also talk with whoever the real estate agent is. Is this a tax foreclosure or bank foreclosure? that can make a difference too.

Doc wants me off HRT..and this stuff he Rxd is an "anti depressant, common side effects are increased sweating (oh yeah, I need that!) and dry mouth/eyes (I already have Sjorens) and a handful of other lovely side effects like increased mood swings, hallucinations (wow!) thoughts of suicide..(what!!??)
So, no, I think I will pass........hand over the Merlot!

The Merlot is always a good choice...my personal favorite....but have you ever looked into the biodenticels? (sp) I am on it and it has changed my life. It helps me tremendously. After some adjusting and fooling with I think we are getting the right dosage and flavor (I am on progesterone)..don't need the estrogen.

But never give up on the Merlot.

Dang!!
That explains why I got so fat & you are so skinny!!!!!!!!

If the friends were renting it to her for like $5 a month, and she had a lease, I know they would pay her like $4000 to move.
