I've taken them off him and he's running round trying tempt the ladies with treats. I think they were openly laughing at him, tbhStan is certainly confused, but will you let him continue?The girls must be snickering behind his back.
Yippee! More have to have chicken productsShe does look better, and likely knows you are helping with the feeling better part! But it does sound like it's time for a good cleaning just in case she brought a bunch of things along with her! Have you ever used Elector PSP? This is what I use when it's time for bug deaths to happen! But I did also Google Captain Jacks and have to agree with you that it should be in the arsenal!Thanks @PopoMyers for the suggestion I have not heard of it either!
i will have to Google Elector PSP now.Maybe. He's not quite got the hang of tidbitting yet either. He calls the girls over with great enthusiasm but when they respond and toddle over, he eats the treat
I've sprouted micro-greens for a couple of years for mine. They are incredibly easy to do. This is the first time I've actually seen a product specifically for sprouting for chickens though. I normally have to pick grains out of their normal food, which takes bloody ages! It's reasonably cheap at £2.95 a kg. In future, I'm going to use them as a base and add some herb seeds (They love basil, coriander and fenugreek) and other quick sprouting goodies like broccoli, kale, radish, alfalfa and anything else they might like. Sprouted seeds are incredibly nutrient dense but don't use normal seeds from seed packets for gardening. They've usually been treated with anti-fungal agents to preserve them longer.
Great news she's improving so quickly!
Gladys won't go to bed until I give her back and butt a little floofHubby had a gallon of white paint he let me have so got some of that onto the yokos coop yesterday. It looks funny with the coop all painted and the run raw old wood. Trying to decide if I want to do anything about it or leave it as is. With exposed osb, the coop really had to have paint or it'd fall apart fast. Theirs faces south and west so brightening up that asphalt was a must. Have to decide if I'm going to paint the old run or not. If not, I think I'll add the last of my blue paint onto the yokos coop too. Spread thin over white it just might make it to cover.
Scraped poop from the ducks ramp and started spring garden clean up.
Goosebumps is ready to mate. She's so silly with her tortoise love, but when breeding time comes she follows me around and hunches down at my feet. I put my hand on her back and give her a little shake and she gets so happy. She stands up, ruffles up and seems to think she's going to be a mom. I have one pea hen that does that too. She hasn't so far this year so it'll be a bit before the peas start laying I think. Either that or she's finally figured out that I'm useless!
Mom's have to admit to things they did too! I was 18 before my mom told me my yellow budgie didn't miraculously change colour to green while i was at school...I know, he corrects me when I pronounce them wrong....which I do a lot haha. I was a pretty good speller but dinosaur names are on another level hahaha. Isn't it fun admitting to your parents things you did as a kid that they never knew? I find it rather amusing to see the shock on my mom's face
I took my youngest fossil hunting when she was younger. There's a place a days drive from where my mom lives. Rose something. You dig the fossils and they go through them to keep any rare or special finds, but everything else you get to keep. She had a blast. Most of what we found were worm tracks and leaves...but she developed a probably life long interest in fossils afterwards.Maybe. He's not quite got the hang of tidbitting yet either. He calls the girls over with great enthusiasm but when they respond and toddle over, he eats the treat
I lived near a Neolithic cave settlement as a child and we'd go fossil and arrow tip hunting. We loved every minute of it, even if we didn't find anything. I still go fossil hunting now. We live near a beach where fossils literally wash up on the shore. Mainly fossilized shellfish, belemnites and ammonites but I found a vertebrae from an ichthyosaur recently. I bet your son would love it!
Oh I hate he's sick! But atleast he's got some unique companions!!!Yes, I am certain D would love a fossil dig stuff @Shetland lover suggested when he is a bit older, we have bought him some of the fossil dig kits and he loves those. My nephew is almost 14 and his dad took him to Wyoming for a week and he and his Dad got to actually dig for fossils and he just LOVED it. So when D is older, we will look into that if he's still interested! The tiny dinos certainly are helping him and may also help him develop more interest in chickens from that venue. He had to stay home sick today and took 2 of them in to watch movies with him! He NEVER does this with our chickens.
Lol...I swear my 2 oldest roos laugh at me all the time!I've taken them off him and he's running round trying tempt the ladies with treats. I think they were openly laughing at him, tbh
It would have been an interesting experiment though!
