Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

I've tried keeping these cats outdoors. They have shredded every screen we have by jumping up and hanging on them and screeching. And they have also ruined the weather stripping on all our doors and scratched the actual doors up. Cats are horrid animals that destroy my house and everything in it. The first time we went on vacation I came home to my brand new mattress full of cat urine. I should skin them and make a beautiful pair of mittens.

Just checked my FF and I forgot to stir it for a couple of days. There is a white bubbly film on the top. Is that mold ? Or do you know if it is safe? I tasted it.... YUK, very very sour !!
I do have ACV in it.

No problem..unless you are not feeding your birds for a couple of days too...? Just stir it in. It is pretty hard for mold to grow in that type of environment. It is good bacteria growing. If it smells too strong or sour, you are using to much ACV and it might not be the right kind of ACV. Make sure it is unpasteurized...Just take some out and add more dry to the mix and some water. No more ACV needs to be used.

lol..that's funny. I am not an indoor cat lover and I would flip if one peed in the house. It would be taking a one way trip some where else. I empathize.

Hi all

I'm still here, hope Frenchie is!!! I'm looking out my window right now and it still looks pretty black over in her direction. all the damage missed us, thank you Lord, nothing but some real gully washing rain. The potato flats were not as fortunate I hear. We just had sun for about 3 minutes but it's darkening back up already. Sure does feel a lot fresher tho!!!

Jim ~ any rough weather by you?

Hi all....Just had the BEST surprise! I went outside after I woke up from my nap (about 5pm) to feed some bread to the birdies...well I saw that the calls and their babies had figured out how to get out of the pen (since Cuties' sister is getting 3 on Friday I want them to stay PUT!) I was herding them back in and as I turned around there was my missing Guinea hen with TWENTY (YES 20) babies in tow!!!!! Holy Buckets! I knew that there was no chance in he11 that she would have that many tomorrow so I pulled 14 and left the rest. Perpetual brooder around here this summer! The joined the turkey poult that showed up the other day and the Langshan's from Lmiller. Getting tight in there again! I guess maybe it was divine intervention that the power killed my hatch?

OK--now I have to see if I can remember what I read...Great fish catching TerriK! I cant believe that fish came in on #6 test! It is obviously WAY heavier than that! I cant wait to show my son that one...he wanted fish tacos with the crappies tonight--no way...they arent a strong enough fish for that IMHO!
Who had the pic of the Andalusian hen? I didnt see any wyandottes in the second pic...and that roo is a mix of more than RIR and GLW! He has feathers on his legs? I thought the coloring was mor like Red laced or blue laced...but where did those feet come from? Arent they just mysteries? I love my mixed roos...
BBP--dont get any more cats OK? Good job on the wheat-free thing! It is very hard if you dont have the Celiac reasoning behind it I would imagine. I just picture "normal" bread, cake etc as Rat Poison and can avoid it pretty easily!
I suppose that the fermented feed wont make you ill Frenchie. After all, it is OK for the chickens right? I surely wouldnt have tasted it though! Maybe a few years ago...I do smell lots of stuff though. One time I was in the grocery stores smelling the holes in the bottom of the strawberry cartons; a woman asked me what i was doing. I told her that I was really good at smelling a moldy berry so I always smelled them to see if there was one in there...she had me smell a few for her too!

But it is true...my fam is always asking me to smell stuff! I draw the line at milk though...thank God it doesnt last long in this house.

I cant remember too much of anything else...good luck at your study tonight Frenchie--why do they have it in a bank? THat is odd. DO they have a special room in the basement or something? I cant imagine having to cart all the stuff in every time they do a study...maybe you will be right in the lobby with everyone else? LOL!
I am heading out to take some pics of the Guinea babies...if I can find them that is. Is anyone familiar with their genetics? My only male is pure white and there is only 1 pure white baby. I think the female is normal/pied. Lots of pied, pure gray, pearled grey and maybe a few normals...are they all split to white? Do they work like chickens? I might have to put my thinking cap on and do some research!

Later! TerriO

(PS) BRENT--I miss your what's for dinner posts! THe people are playing softball and want dinner when they get back...fresh out of ideas!

Cuties...my Aussies come from Ron (I thought it was) Hahn. But I guess I could be what you said...nice guy and nice birds that did well at the show. But that was the Aussies...sorry!

Stay safe in those storms all you guys--I guess I need to check the radar too. Still sunny with blue skies here....TerriO
Congrats on the job KristiP

Thx guys, I've pmd bigz. We'll see if he comes out of hiding!
Ive found another guy
Rick sindermann
Lines; tim peterson & bill bowman

Im just a little nervous, because neither breeder can provide pics... both were open to answer any ?'s I had. So im not sure where to go with it all. I always get excited when I see a possible prospect, and jump the gun!! Lol trying to hold back to get more info!

Ive googled lines and breeders. Havent found much except on bill bowman. Deceased, but seemed very reputable. Prices are pretty similar...
