Don't know if the sale still going on but Del's had a great deal last week on it if you want more. Winco usally has a good price also.
In winter time great to place straw down in their run and throw seed in it. Keep them busy all day.

In moderation. I was just told this last week! Now I can finally use up the old bird seed I've had no use for in 3 years since I bought it. I'm just gonna toss it in their scratch container and mix them together really well; they only get a couple of my small handfuls each day anyway, so it can't be that bad for them in small quantities. I think the protein levels in those types of bird seeds are actually better than in scratch too, so that's great!

Well I just got done at the Dr. for my shoulder/neck, for the second time in a week. Kinda bummed at the initial findings. I guess I just need to keep in mind there are others who are dealing with worse issues.

I know how you feel! Hoping for a good recovery for both of us, somehow, someday.

OK so thanks (to CR and whoever else commented) for the recipe advice w/ the ground beef. I did find that we had a pound of ground beef, but the recipe also called for a pound of ground turkey (gag me, I've never liked it) so I think I will sub the ground sausage meat for the turkey; should make for a nice flavor I think! And it won't be ALL sausage, so it won't be too strong. Woot! I'm so looking forward to using my neighbor's huge zucchini in these meat balls for dinner tonight!

I just talked about the 5-HTP a couple posts back...now that I've been taking it full time for several weeks, I don't feel like I'm drowning. For the first time since I had kids I feel like I can finally tackle meal planning and cooking dinner every night. I'm loving it! If you haven't tried it and feel the same way I did, please consider trying it!

If you mix the ground turkey with beef you will probably not even be able to tell !!! I do that a lot.

That's how I've been keeping mine busy all through the morning and early afternoon, by your recommendation last week! I piled in quite a bit more straw to keep it a little cleaner in the run, and each day I toss in some scratch/seed all over the run. It sinks down in and they scratch for it all day. Thanks!

I hadn't thought of that! But I don't have some anyway so this time I hope the sausage won't overpower the nice "garden" taste of the meatballs.

You sound like my uncle! He's crazy broken (but won't go to the Dr.) and just keeps doing stuff that's horrible for his condition. He's dumb though.
