Raz. The prosecutor needs to go back to school and maybe this time they might teach him what the constitution says.
That goes for all the people involved in government and people complaining about what others have on their property.
Only people who have a right to say what you can or can't have is Homeowner Associations because when you bought the property you agreed to the terms of restrictions.
When you were born here or came here and became a citizen then you are under the constitution.
In no way no how can anyone show me where the power comes from is legal with what has happened over the years step by step taking away the rights men and woman have died for, lost legs for, the list goes on and on.

If our country got back to the constitution a whole lot of problems be solved.

BTW. Feel free to send him this post. And yes that is my real name and if he has a problem with what I said I'll educate him any time.
I've had enough of these people ruining the country my Father fought for!
You have no idea the anger I have when I read posts about keeping animals with restrictions no one has a right to impose unless one WILLINGLY joins an Association.

I agree with you! In Edmonds they just repealed the anti chicken law but we are only allowed a maximum of three chickens. (With alll the beautiful chickens out there not enough in my opinion) I feel that as long as we maintain and care for our yards or pets there should not be restrictions. If it becomes a noise issue, pollution issue or otherwise dangerous/hazardous situation then I could see a restriction being placed or a request to rectify the issue. Past that point they shouldn't have a say in your freedoms as long as the animals are cared for and do not create dangerous or pest issues.

I feel horrible!!! Yesterday I went down to let the chickens and quackers out into their yard for the day. Sounds normal and routine enough, right? Well we recently bought 2 bantam pullets from CR and I have been keeping them confined in the barn all day and night with our other 2 bantams so they could get used to each other and so the new girls could settle into the barn before they got to explore the great outdoors. Well, Chicken Little, one of our bantam cockerels tried to escape with the LF and I reached down real quick to block the door with my hand, unfortunately he was closer to me then I had realized (he's a quick little dude) and I jammed my finger right into him! He sqwaked and ran back in the barn and then wouldn't let me touch him. In fact, every time after that, that I tried to touch him he got all defensive and bowed up to me.

It really sucks b/c he and I were pretty good buddies before I stabbed him with my finger! I sure hope I didn't ruin that!!

Ok now I'm caught up AGAIN!!!!
So since I have read alot of posts, now I can't remember who was asking about the chicken diapers! I don't have any of those weird kind of birds but I do have wonderful, glorious, fabulous, beautiful DUCKS!!! 1 of my ducks (Daffy) wears a diaper quite often. She has had a diaper since she was 4 months old. She loves it, we love it!
If you are in the area (I'm in Bonney Lake and work in Kent) then I would be more than happy to bring her to come visit your father! She has been on many car rides and is very social! As many BYCers have learned the hard way!
Just let me know!!

I was asking about the chicken diapers. You have one awesome duck! So I'm not the only crazy one that wants to take their birds places. There should be whole line of products for traveling with your chickens/ducks. Leashes, harness, and diapers, all to match! Where did you find your diapers? Does Daffy prefer one style over another?

T Hi has a great one of Daffy in a little University of Washington hoodie, hanging out with one of her daughters!
SadieSue posted a nice series of shots of her DD and friends with a Silkie sleeping happily on a lap.
And CR has some nice ones of Pierre and dog Quincy watching TV on the couch with his DW.
Oh! And 4312 has a great shot of her DD wearing a chicken in a sling too!
Hope that helps...

I would love to see pictures!

Nikki,

I think you've missed that a bunch of EW is on fire.

http://www.nwccweb.us/information/firemap.aspx

The other day there were over 95 uncontained fires in Yakima and Kittitas counties alone. Here in Yakima the smoke from the fires south of Mt Adams can clearly be seen and smelled. We have a stage 1 burn ban in effect due to the decreased air quality.

GOOD GRIEF, WE ARE SURROUNDED BY FIRES!!

I don't know if they are true migraines or not. I'm not exactly sure what a true migraine is. They come on very fast. I know one is coming on within an hour of getting it. I have to get into the dark. I feel like I'm going to

. I can't handle noise. At it's worst, my head hurts so bad I can't hold back the tears. Thankfully, my kids, who are typically very loud, know that if Mommy has a headache, they have to be quiet.

When the headaches hit, I try everything thinking it must be an imbalance of something I'm missing in my diet. That's why I drank a bunch of orange juice, ate a banana, popped a Vitamin C, ate some salt, and took Tylenol. We're just guessing. We don't have a clue what helps them.

Last night was probably the toughest night ever at Cub Scouts to smile and be cheerful through. I walked into the noise of all those boys, and my head felt like it was going to explode. It was a very long hour and a half! But, I got through it! Yay!

As for my Webelos boy from last year, he is alive. At this point, he can not walk. They are still waiting to find out if he will have facial repair surgery. I think there might be a cost factor involved with that, as well. I'm not positive. It sounds like things are still pretty up in the air as to what the family will decide they are able to do.

I totally understand the difficult situation they are in. To this day I have a back deformity from when I was hit on a bike at the age of 6. I grew up on welfare, and was not given the opportunity to have a back brace or raised shoe to repair the problem (I lost about 1" out of my femur). When I was 18, I went in to see if they could do anything to fix it, I was told it was too late. I hope something like that doesn't happen to this little boy.

I can pretty much guarantee they are migraines! If you look into possible causes, you would spend all day reading about them. Many have good luck with Imitrex and various others, but there are, OF COURSE, side-effects. I tried at least 10 different Rx's and Imitrex INJECTIONS were the only thing that barely touched mine and they were expensive even with insurance. They made me feel weird also. You should avoid Tylenol and ibuprofen when you are getting one, so I've heard, as they may cause rebound migraines. Try naproxen or Exedrin migraine. Tumeric is available in the spice section of your grocery store, b.t.w., and I have also tried cayenne or capsaicin capsules as they are supposed to have anti-inflammatory qualities.
Since I have stopped taking birth control pills, mine slowed down and finally stopped, especially after my hysterectomy (some endometriosis was found when my uterus was removed). Tension headaches are chronic for me but I haven't had a migraine for close to 2yrs

. I would know I was getting one when my peripheral vision was impaired. 30min later the one-sided pain would start (usually right side). It would get EXTREME! Sometimes one side of my face all the way down thru one arm would go numb. Vomiting was common. The worst would last for about 3-4hrs but I would feel "hung over" for about 3 days after. All I could do was ride it out in bed in the dark.
I pray you find something that will help you get rid of, or at least deal with, these horrible things!!!

That's a great idea! And that would be cute, too! I like the look of feed bags - they kind of remind of those old signs. I may be a little odd though.

Nope, not odd at all! Have you seen all the peeps who sell feed bag totes on here? Including our very own Chickielady, who makes them. I have two of hers, a green Flock Raiser bag and a turquoise Layena bag, that I use for grocery shopping, carrying eggs, etc.

I am going to try the feed bag potato idea. Sounds awesome!

I have a bunch of horse feed bags. I am happy to pass them along for potatos or tote bags. I hate throwing them away!

I have this little baby flock, 1 rooster and 4 little girlies. (the fourth girl is orange like the one in the front)
They roam seperate from all my other chickens and I would like to see them go together.
Anyone interested?
