I just want to brag on my awesome neighbor. I have two goats with some abscesses. Two on one and four on the other goat. Back, neck, jaw. Because of the way this year is going I’m going to send a sample into the state lab for CL, just in case. I asked my awesome neighbor and she’s going to help...

That’s awesome! I have plenty of DE around. I use DE on the goats to get rid of mites and stuff and will occasionally add some to a chicken dust bath. So I have part of a 30lb bag of food grade and possibly more if I dig around.

Homemade is better in every way anyways! Your sister should be worried you’ll send them back as homemade food snobs 🤣.

I need to get me a pack of that! My cousin loves squirrel!!! Lol. Worst part is I don’t know if that’s real or not.

My garden has been behind schedule so I’ve decided (by default) the garden expansion will be a winter garden this year. I planned to dig today, but it’s stormy and windy outside so I’m going to stay inside. Ahh well, guess I’ll clean some, make horchata (found a recipe to try), and possibly can...

His wife was wondering where you got the animals from and while following you to find out he snapped a pic.

Another chick hatched, I think this is my last one! Yay, six babies.

Agreed, officers already have a hard enough job.

The weevils will invade my house big time. Ask me how I know:th That is why we keep feed outside. The metal shipping container has done alright on wet feed, I’ve only had one small bag go bad and it had managed to be directly on the ground over the winter. The rest have done fine, except for...

Interesting. I’ve had feed mold pretty quickly in my metal trash can, the condensation is bad, but it was on the uncovered porch. But, that very well may be different in the metal shipping container.

Awesome. How do you keep some of the moisture out? Even in my metal shipping container it gets really humid.

Trip to the feedstore today. Because I’ve had so many problems with weevils and other pests I’m thinking about putting my feed in plastic 55 gallon drums. Not sure how many will fit or what. But, maybe it will keep the safe from the bugs, they are watertight. I have one or two lying around...

Tortoise is exactly right. There are also non medication ways to euthanize. I can’t remember who it’s from now, but somebody put out a list of acceptable/humane methods of death that anyone in the veterinary industry (and I believe meat, but don’t quote me on that one) have to follow. For...

I had more babies hatch him the incubator. I almost unplugged it thinking they were done, had one hatch that evening. Glad I didn’t! Got glasses today, first time. Wow, let’s just say I had no clue how bad my eyes had gotten...or how much I need to dust! About to place an order for sugar beet...

Nice one!

My friend works at a vet clinic, apparently they’ve had to start cutting and mixing the lethal injection medications. The company shut down because of covid or something, and so the meds have been on back order for a very long time.

Some people who can pump more than their child uses will donate it too!

I absolutely consider thrifting and old fashioned remedies self-sufficiency! Thank you

Give me a book and you’ve given me the world -unknown What are your favorite homesteading or self sufficiency books?

I’ve had ducks sitting. Two moms hatched six and those are starting to get independent. About time to give them to my friend, if she still wants them. I currently have eggs in the incubator. As soon as these hatch/ don’t hatch I’m going to steal the 30+ chicken eggs from under two ducks...
