TO, those are the cutest chick pics.
Hurley, score on the kennel. Those panels are $50 each new. And what beautiful pictures! Love the butterfly one. Nice ground squirrel shot. We've got those little buggers here too. Cute, but destructive.
Waved back at ya, H&R.
Sorry to hear about your parents. Yard work sure seems like it has to be done every few days in the spring. It just never ends.
For the ACV, you can add it "full strength" right off the bat. My girls don't seem to notice any difference. And I add it every time I change their water. Don't add anything else to their water, though, like vitamins. If you do give your birds anything else in their water, I'd suggest either 2 separate waterers, or change off each time you change the water. Make sure you get the raw, unfermented ACV with the "mother" in it. I get mine from
Amazon. It is Bragg's ACV, & the shipping is only 99 cents. I use 2 tbsp. per gallon since I have a couple of 1 gal. plastic waterers. Don't ever put ACV in metal waterers. The acidity in the vinegar can corrode metal so it can contaminate the water. There is an awesome thread here on BYC on the benefits of ACV for poultry. I'll post the link if I find it. It also has a recipe on how to make your own ACV.
Here is the link to ACV on
Amazon:

MLH, good job at Goodwill.
It sure is fun to find some real bargains. What kind of Ball jars were they? The ones with the glass tops?
Susie, I think you might have a jerk?
I only have 2 roos, so I am by far no expert, but my 2 always go looking for good things to eat & then call the hens over for them to eat it. They seem very proud watching the hens eat. My roos never eat any treats I give to the birds; they leave it for their "ladies". Sorry to hear about that. Cute looking buff. I just
love orps.
Friz, I am so glad you got some more birds, & bunnies too. I think I mentioned how much I like orps?
They are wonderful birds. Very docile & friendly. I sure hope noone has any visits from a fox, or anything else. Good luck on the weasel hunt.
Well, I only stayed outside til about 3 before I had to come in. It sure got hot out there today, & that sun really does a number on me. I thought it was supposed to be cooler today. Sounds like it's going to be another sweltering one tomorrow too.
DH & I got some trees & bushes planted from Jung today, and did some trimming & pruning, but still haven't worked on the garden yet. The tomato & pepper seedlings are going to flower before I get them in.
We have to build a new veggie garden, since my "old" one got swallowed up by the chicken enclosure we bought last fall. Good thing we got it, though, with that huge a** snow storm we got in March. Thank goodness we didn't have to worry about them, just trying to plow 3+ feet of snow off the driveway. Almost could go for some snow right about now......Nahhhh!
Well, I sure hope everyone has a good rest of your evening. Time to feed the cats & go to bed. Sweet dreams!
