You go to Profile and then click on edit account details. Then scroll to the bottom and there shoud be a checked box that says remove nested quotes. You want to uncheck that. I had the same problem! Took me awhile to figure it out!

Thank you!

if you take a soda bottle with lid and put holes in it for bird seed,or for snack food. and toss it for the chickens you will have some football in no time.

). Yes, the little guys will squeeze through the bigger wire. Gotta watch for that. I would bet with a heat lamp for them to get in and out from they could be outside at night, but I would not put them inthe run. i was going to tell you how to post multiple quotes,but looks like someone got ya' set on that one.

Oh and a head's up....all the birds will find 1 or 2 of their favorite boxes and they will all squeeze into that 1 or 2 boxes to lay. Even if you have 10 or 12 boxes. They will all find their favorite and that is that. craz birds.

I drive to Tonasket every day for work, and take the highway...but that's exactly how I come home every night..odd to think I've driven by hundreds of times Thank you for the tip about the fencing. We can beef up the bottom of the run before they do go outside, but I'm not in any hurry to get them there. We used to have 31 chicks in a big cardboard produce bin here in the house... the majority of the "stinkie-poopie babies" as I've affectionately started calling them are outside now, so we're down to Teeny and Tiny, Petunia and Marigold the Red comet chicks, Dahlia and Penny the speckled sussex, Lily the Light Brahma, and Chrissy, another EE. The chicks I bought and will be picking up in Seattle( a Cuckoo Maran and a Welsummer) were hatched 5/9, so I expect that by the time I get them they'll only need to be inside a week or so, if the highs/lows stay the same. We've all become chicken obsessed around here: the catalog I ordered from has become so tattered from us looking at it. The book that has influenced me the most is The Small-Scale Poultry Flock by Harvey Ussery: I built our flock based on cold/heat tolerance, docility, and egg color but we designed our coop and run based on his observations and experience.

I had heard that before, about the boxes....silly birds! Seramas, huh? I don't know much about them...I'll have to look them up

I have seramas and orpingtons. Serams are for "decoration only", they are the chihuahuas of the poultry world. They do lay tiny little eggs - but it takes around 3 of their eggs to equal a regular sized egg. They are very fun though. I will have to look into the book you talk about.

Well as far as I know that is the plan, for me to come to your house to get my new girls!! That would be great! Granted nasty at the same time.. lol I am glad I have kids. LOL I do not handle bugs very well. ROFL! They make me shudder

regular ole earth worms dont bug me to bad, but thats because I fish, but they still make me a tad squeamish.. lol Yup I am a whimp.. Ha Ha! i am rather curious on how you "accidently" started raising them however.. lol
