    Trespassing?

    I love little old church ladies :) My mom taught me to never judge a religion until I got to know it (except scientology) and so we always invite church ladies in. When it turns political (ie, homosexuality) we politely end the session. But hey, why not have some tea and conversation with a...

    fish meal, peanutbutter, etc. for chooks

    I think that's the problem. I don't eat meat, or oatmeal/peanut butter/etc, so I unintentionally just don't feed it. I don't even buy meat :p They get veggies as their fresh food, and whatever hubby doesn't eat at a restaraunt. (Last summer, it was a lot of lobster/crab lol.)

    fish meal, peanutbutter, etc. for chooks

    Last fecal I had done at random came back negative. Ill grab some more anyways this week, just in case. Fed them stew meat tonight! I don't eat meat but everyone else does, so I just pick out the meat. They went hog wild over it :D

    fish meal, peanutbutter, etc. for chooks

    The vet (she's chicken specific) says its too prominent :/ lol I just thought they were lean because they don't sit around all day in a pen.

    Bubblingbrooks Journey - Salut!

    Somehow I always painted a classier, romantic picture of alaska. You and my horse girlfriend in Fairbanks make me question my romanticized alaska LOL. Happy first mothers day momma <33

    fish meal, peanutbutter, etc. for chooks

    I've been noticing my ladies are "thin", I can feel their kiel bones. I didn't think much of it, they have unlimited feed pellets, seed mixes and forage bugs and grass, as they are free range. I asked my vet today and she said to up protein & fat, she wants them fatter. They are brahmas, black...

    New beek. New pictures and new questions

    Pretty bees!! I know nothing about them, my dog and I are deathly allergic :( But I have huge respect for them (I have to, otherwise I'd hate them too much.) What does "swarm" mean exactly? Why do they do this?

    Why do my heels hurt?

    Agreed w/ plantar fascitis & heel spurs. I walk HEAVILY on my heels, so heavily I have to remind myself to tip forward a bit. Because of this + high arch (and a draft mule broke one foot, which I never got cast) it leads to be plantar fascitis and heel spurs. Def do the foot stretches, I have...

    Haha, I've been wnting to get another dog. I didn't like Jax until recently (found out I'm NOT a puppy person) and for protection. In the next year ill get another, but $ is too strapped right now.

    dog protection question

    :/ Yeah. He's got a great gift not every other dog has, I think that's the "problem". At least my past labs barked, then grabbed a toy and barked through the toy, you know? This dog just sleeps when the dish guy enters my home.

    dog protection question

    I have a 16 month old purebred, american labrador, rocks at water retrieval, very waterfowl oriented and knows how to flush. He's not protective, at all. He's never once, ever, growled. You can scare him out of a deep sleep and he just stares at you. Once, ONCE he barked, my niece and I got into...

    Tips for keeping up with everything

    Oh! Btw, get the RIGHT cleaning tools! My boss bought us two nice brooms that make the world of difference. Someone threw out the ostrich feather duster at work, I can't stand fauxfeathers so she's buying me a new one.

    Tips for keeping up with everything

    I hate cleaning. HATE. Refuse to clean. Thankfully my clean freak BIL moved in..hehe. Dishes: set them in the sink all day w/ a solution of something, we used ajax. That way after dinner you just rinse and put into the drying rack. Do a simple, but not thorough sweep of kitchen & dining room...

    Anyone raising Bantoms, quail or other small exotics?

    I have bantees :) I'm down to a MFH and brahma. They are cute and adorable, if you are able to get over their cuteness (omg, did I mention they are cute?) Then there's really no meat on them. Easy to care for, they don't eat much, they love forever. You can't keep them with any large or...

    Best All Around Dog for TEOFTWAWKI

    Putting in my bid for a pit or rhodesian :) Two breeds that have the strength, stamina, mental capacity and drive to do it all. I have a customer w/ a bull of a red nose, in Nicaraqua he grabbed a farmers pig and didn't blink when the farmer hit across the back w/ a machete. Never blinked as...

    Thoughts on incubators versus broodies

    Broodies! Make those worthless chickens that are broody and don't lay worth something :) I have two hens who I'm building a broody run for, and setting eggs underneath. Selling the chicks. Why not? (And I don't have a rooster btw, illegal here.)

    How to make extended butter and butter spread

    Eli (and Boogity) you have to understand that we have the same troll on the same horse coming in here constantly. So of course we (I) jumped to a conclusion. As for Wifey, that's her norm, get used to it.

    How to make extended butter and butter spread

    I apologize, but coming in here full swing on an anti-sat fat horse? This forum is (mainly) full of pro-sat fat people. Its like going into an english horse forum and immediately going into anti-hunter politics.
