What ignorance? Pshaw! I had to ask the first time I saw them too! The first person who had them that I had seen was Cowgirlgrace who is also a member here. They are excelsior pads and can be purchased in different sizes and amounts from EggCartons.com. I really like them. I tuck them into the mini cat litter boxes I use in the coop, toss a few shavings over the top and the girls snuggle right in.

Apparently, Amazon is now selling hatching eggs, too! I'm going to have to check it out...since BYC's classifieds are turning out to be worthless.

Oh, that is funny. I am sitting at that exact desk right now. I got mine 15 years ago at Boeing Surplus for $10. It is so heavy, that it will probably never get moved again.

we had one as well... ooooold thing it was.... where kept all the "important" stuff... safer than a regular wood desk..lol... we wound up having to leave it behind when we moved. too heavy & no space to squeeze it in the truck....they are so worth the money... just need 6 people to move it...hahahaha

I do not worm any birds until they are at least 5 mo old, I do not think you have to..........

Today has been a lot of work and fun =)

I bought my nine-year-old son the Wreck this Journal book. He has been having so much fun with it. He just got out of a tree after "dropping it from a high place" and is now peeling all the stickers off our fruit to add to the pages. It took a bit of coaxing the first time it told him to rip out a page - but now he has gotten the hang of it. I highly recommend this book for older boys and/or girls!

I just bought a bunch of bananas at the store here & there is a phone APP sticker on the nanners with a link up to a recipe for (ready for this ??????????

)

YONANNA

Oh Gods, that's so true. My husband has come running to pronounce our chicks and chickens dead so many times, I just roll my eyes at him. So far they've had SEIZURES (dust bathing), all died of heat stroke (sun bathing), been violently attacking each other (mating), died of overheated brooder (basking in the heat) and sick in bed (brooding). Poor city boy.

I've even had to warn the farmhands, housesitters and even a few friends who have run back in the house yelling in horror after going out to sneak a peak in the brooder. Nothing seems to assure them its perfectly normal. I even get calls from worried neighbors who are concerned that all of our chickens have apparently gone out into our driveway and mysterious died in the late afternoon sun of our driveway.

Free items, you pick up:

Metal Office desk (picture is similar to desk I have), in great shape and would prefer it to go to someone who can use it, not matel scrappers.
Cement/mortar (roughly 20 bags), its on a pallet and I have a forklift I can load onto your rig with.
Propane BBQ, in rough shape but still works

Darn it, that would be a great score for DH & all his "projects" in his shop (instead of standing at his work bench) But we have absolyutely no room at all for anything until the house is built, not even 1 foot square of space.

So my sister and her roommate were fighting (like most roommates do) and her roommate agreed to move out. She moved out today and left my sister a parting gift--she peed on my sister's BED! Who does that? Especially someone with a psychology degree that needs a job?!? My sister called the cops...not sure what they'll do but my sister is going to take her to small claims court to get her to buy a new mattress for her (my sister's mattress is less than 7 months old!)
