So I'm 330 posts behind but jumping back in...I'll catch up later. It's been a long summer. The kids are in their own places...for now. 1's looking for a job; the other is in Jr. year of college! Hubby had some double-vision issues which had me as the Limo driver for about a month or so. Wasn't...

I guess they thought this one looked more ominous not to mention easier recognizable!!!

Thanks, I'll have to check eBay for the scales. I don't want to pay an arm & a leg for it. That's what the pet supplies places are charging!

I've been looking for an old fashioned baby scale...the type you can lay the baby down on. I've been coming up empty!

Lacy Blues, not sure what your weather is like but if warm enough I'd try a 5 gallon water bucket trap for the mice. I've got rats right now but we are still having freezing temps at night so the water would freeze and they'd just laugh at me while they skated around the bucket doing triple...

Don't go to the store, vpatt! you'll see those cute little fluffy butts and just have to have some! That's what happened to me. DH came around the corner and heard me saying I'll take 2 of those & 2 of those. Then he saw 2 white silkie chicks and said we'll take those ones too. I said with my...

Awww, I bet they were adorable!! I usually have a bunch of runners too! "Ahhhhh the giant hand!!!" Here we go again, LG!! Why are we always on that cusp? Are we getting 14-18 or 18-24? I guess it all depends on which way the wind is blowing!! I have poopsicles in the DL in the pen which the...

She's beautiful, LM!! My moulter was in the garage for about 3 weeks. Just when I was ready to put her out, our temps plummeted into negative numbers. She's back out and had little problem reintegrating. Just a spat or two the first 2 days.

I do my DL a lot like this! I do DL on a wood floor. Knock on wood... so far so good on keeping the floor in tact. My DL is on the dry side so if I spill a little water or have snow on my boots, I don't freak out as much as I used to. I just kick some dry stuff onto the wet spot and move on. I...

On the subject of EOs, I bought some oil of oregano/ropadiar 10% liquid. The website suggests 5ml/gallon of water for a general health dose and 10ml/gallon for stress & loose droppings. I tried 5ml in the girls water. They were not big fans. It smelled very strong to me! Anyone else think that's...

I used my old gas grill as a burn pit for dust bath ashes. I just picked up twigs & sticks that were all over the yard. I do have a friend who gives me his stove ash but it has large clumps in it that I like screened out. I put the clumps in an old feed bag and drove over it with the car a few...

I like the pump dispenser idea! I found my tube of nustock to be rather thick. I thinned mine with baby oil then put into a small bottle with a cover that twists like a glue bottle, mustard bottle might do too. I found it easier to direct the ointment onto their legs. I still have to rub it in...

LOL Ditto on the nougat, sunflower!

I don't know how many people have asked me how I'm getting eggs if I don't have a rooster. One of my poor girls sat on nothing for a month before I realized what she was doing. Got some fertile eggs from a friend and had 4 chicks hatch in the coop. More pearls of wisdom from the peanut...

My friends, family & co-workers are finally coming to realize that about me too! We had Thanksgiving at the office last week. I brought home the carcass, leftover veggies & gravy. One of our new people said, "You aren't really going to feed that turkey to the chickens, are you?"

And here's one of her babies! Sorry I couldn't resist!

We have used RV anti-freeze, which it not toxic to animals, & water in the bucket we used at camp.

Hey LM, We have always had great success with the bucket/peanutbutter/can trap. Some people don't even use the can. They just throw some feed or pet food in the bucket with enough water for the mice to drown. I know it's probably starting to get cold out your way so the water in the bucket might...

No but when I was 6, I did stick a cherry pit up my nose to see if it would fit. Well it did and got stuck! Had to go to the ER to have it removed. I hear it all the time! DH says, "How much do our eggs cost? $400 an egg?" When he's talking to people, he usually follows that up with, "I figure...

Yes, I have used just water & feed. It takes longer. I have done FF with ACV. I've also done it with water, feed & a small container (1/2 cup or cup) of plain yogurt with live cultures or a splash of buttermilk. I think using a "starter" (ACV, yogurt, buttermilk) just moves the fermenting...
