And Now for Something Completely Different!​

did you know that it's illegal in Vermont for a woman to wear false teeth without her husbands permission?

and in England, you may only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls after midnight

In Brooklyn, donkeys may not sleep in bathtubs

In Montana, it is illegal to have a sheep in the cab of your truck without a chaperone


and in PA, It is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth

in Yamhill OR, It is illegal to predict the future

In Canada, children must not be buried alive in snow deeper than 6 feet

In New Mexico the State Constitution prevents idiots from voting

In Kentucky, by law, anyone who has been drinking is "sober" until he or she cannot hold onto the ground (hmmm?)


In Italy, it is illegal to practice the profession of being a fraud (who'da thunk it!)

In Maryland, it is illegal to mistreat oysters (Now, How does one mistreat an oyster, pray tell?)

but my favourite has to be in Switzerland, where it is illegal for banks to refuse vault owners to store dead relatives in their vaults - provided the period of storage does not exceed 7 months!

OMG!!! TC that is too funny!! I'm rollin!!! LOL!

I use first aid tape on their feet so when you remove it , it wont take all the feathers off. Maybe you can use heavy paper and tape it to the feet. Have someone hold them on their backs and that way you can get to the feet. Thats what I do. Good luck

Are you talkn to me??? LOL I thought you tape the legs apart??

Quote: Just switched mine to nipple waterers yesterday. I left the other water in for the day yesterday and pulled it last night so they would be thirsty this morning. I showed them this morning and after 1 got it they all followed suit. Pretty easy. And I agree that not having to clean poop and gunk out of the waterers all the time will be fantastic.

Awesome!! yea, I can't wait! Where did you get yours?
I got them off of Amazon. Somone makes them. They are only quart size with one nipple but they are great for adding a few around the run. I am going to make a 5 gallon bucket one. I ordered the nipples off of QC Farm Supply. Cheap and easy. I would look at bynaturehomsteads post about what they have. It looks pretty easy.

Thanks!!

Today has been one of those days.... driving to prosser to get horse hay. Pick up and trailer full of it. My kiddos called their dad because we weren't home and told him that the 34 yr old son of hubby's was home...He freaked out and tried to call back so he said... 2 hours later he decided that maybe he should call again and maybe make a 2 hour drive to come get the kiddo's. Um they were home with the 34 yr old and they told him that. When we did get home 1 hour after kiddo's got off bus, the 34 year old made sure to tell me he thinks my dolly dog is killing the chickens. Although he isn't seeing it but since she's not chained and he found a dead one he assumed.

UGH!!!!!! So I did a total bird count of my birds. found out all my speckled sussex chicks were gone and 1 of my golden sexlinks. Not sure if the dog is getting them at all because the 34 year old doesn't see it. He just see's the dead bird and figures it is the dog because she is not chained up. We do have 10 tame cats and who knows how many wild ones. And out of the 4 birds he only found 1 body. So it really makes me wonder.

After dropping off hay at friends, chicken math struck me. I ended up taking a chicken home. She had rescued it from a cat. So he is now in isolation cage in my house and he is hurt. Almost like he can't walk right. Although he can move both feet and legs just fine. I looked and he appeared to have a few scratches on him which I cleaned up. No punctures that I could see. I did a very complete examination of him. He wasn't too happy bout it at all but I wanted to make sure... Tomorrow I definately think I need to get him some antibiotic of some sort as prevention. He is eating and drinking just fine.

Any suggeestions about what would be best?

thanks everyone for letting me get my rant out. I honestly want to scream today with everything going on.. But I did get to measure the windows in my new house so I can make the curtains I want.

now back to our normal chicken math: 2 chickens + 1 chicken = ????

Sorry!

maybe tomorrow will be better! good luck with the chicken!

I lived in Underwood, WA and was sleeping since I had worked night shift. I had to do a parts run to Yakima on the 24th. That was not a fun trip.
