Coop transition night. These guys and gals will be moving out of the carport into our large tractor out back.

That's awesome!

Was a cute picture thank you . But Tadpole is just a darling little girl . I got a big ole soft spot for babies .

Thought you all would like it . It's like a Rockwell .

Maybe we need to have a double B itch party Teflon is everywhere in everything .used exstensively as plumbing gaskets hydraulic seals and MUCH MUCH MORE. When it comes to non stick cookware Teflon is a minor component . Hair dryers not likely used much if any in or around the heating element .

I'm doing further research on this .



Deb the melting point of pure Teflon is 100C making it unfit in it's pure state for high temperature applications. like you said it has to be a compound with Teflon as a component . The only place I've ever encountered Teflon in small electric appliances is very small eclectic motors and only as thrust washers .And very few of those . Like model car or slot cars or toys . But many household faucets have Teflon seals . They are safe. Most water heaters are set around 110 degrees . The heating elements in hair dryers have no Teflon in them and are safe to use with out worry . Any Teflon would be used as insulators . I'm in shock that they would use something with a such a low melting point as a component in a shatterproof coating for light bulbs A 250 watt heat lamp will very easily heat Teflon to it's gas point .And will heat almost all poly compounds to their melting point. For sure the bumper cover on DW's mini van I was under the impression that the EPA mandated Teflon could no longer be used in nonstick cookware . Am I wrong ?But my memory is like my sex life almost gone

You should have it blown up and framed!

Son used to think it was awful when I'd cook Ben rotisserie chicken right in front of the coop. Told me I was heartless .I would look at the hens and say this is what happen when you don't lay eggs

With a warning on the box . Now who besides me is guilty of not reading the box

I tell mine they have to be productive one way or another, eggs or soup!
So now they hide their eggs and laugh at me!!!

Way to be diplomatic.

I was thinking... Well...less than charitable thinking...

We understand!

That's what I like you Sir Sour Lord of Pond Scum , Thou are'th well versed in diplomacy We're so proud of you .

Again X2

He's better than me . I might have taken my sword of chivalry and stabbed her with it WHAT?????

@WVduckchick, Have I been knighted ? Sir Sour Lord of Pond Scum - sure sounds elegant.

I used to have a friend here named SirBirdaholic the Night Knight, but his wife won't let him come and play anymore.

And I'm sorry about your friend..

I don't think the Princess would approve.

Great idea. I could pop out of the cake and do a modified rendition of the Full Moon Dance.

What happens on the Pond stays on the Pond.

Absolutely!

I'm sorry I wouldn't read all that again . Them dead chickens proved it ain't good for you . But and what made me think this was I was driving buy a fresh lit brush pile they were burning and the air temperature was so cold it was making the smoke go down to the ground . I've seen it happen before . With only the poop door open and no ventilation in the coop the gas had no place to go but down. I think that is what happened in this case . Had there been adequate ventilation up high in the coop the gas would have risen and been vented away . Just a thought . I wouldn't swear to it . Just be clear on this point I haven't a clue what I'm talking about

I get flying fast and furiuous with info and sometimes I mis read.... We gotto have checks and balances right...

I think the point is we do what we can be informed as much as we can and try to keep sane. I never thought of brush clearing or trash burning because its AGAINST the law heree... Brush clearing if the fire department grants you a permitt... Not going to happen here... And trash burning is illegal here either outside or evein in your fireplace... Just for those fumes you speak of....

@Fields Mountain Farm - How was dinner (I may have missed it, sorry if you already posted about it)?

@sourland How do you manage?

I should never leave this spot!

Some of the advice out there is insanely bad! Like peeping chick...cuddle it and give it toys.

I hadn't said anything...so nothing missed.
It was nice. We went to a local restaurant. Not crowded, good food.
I had smocked Cornish hen, pinto beans, greens and cornbread. Dh had sirloin steak tips, mashed potatoes, white beans and cornbread.
Had a good time!

They may have to tube feed a bit until it gets the idea. Maybe its a guinea!

See most people have little experience with animals. So if a kid cries, keep it busy with a toy...

Going to bed.
Y'all have a great night!
