    And Now For Something Completely Different...

    I Agree. :old Our own troops could feasibly desert should they be ordered to fire on Americans. Hope our Canadian brothers will feel the same way. Look at the bright side... At least they didn't cut the deal with the chinese. :duc

    C'mon chicken experts! What's wrong with my flock??

    I only feed a small amount of cat food every few days and usually with BOSS and oyster grit. They always leave the cat food till last but eventually they get around to it. Some people have suggested adding game bird feed to the layer feed as a way to boost protien as well.

    C'mon chicken experts! What's wrong with my flock??

One in particular (the runt) had a huge area of feathers "plucked" from...

    Does anyone move their garden?

    Freezer malfunction

    I assume there is no room for them in your kitchen freezer. Perhaps you could find room in a friends freezer. With that many chickens canning whatever you can't consume would provide a long term solution. You could make a large pot of chicken soup and can it or you could can just the chicken...

    SC wants their own currency!

    Not long ago I read that a number of states (Indiana among them) had passed legislation requiring banks to accept gold and silver at market price for all debts public and private.

    9% Inflation

    Exactly. :old Spot on. Not only do they hide the real numbers but they never mention the "inflation" tax from loss of purchasing power as a result of the the diminished value of the dollar. I fear it will not improve either.

    How do you prepare for a Blizzard?

    They just upgraded the winter storm warning to a blizzard warning here so today all I need to do is top off the gas in the truck and fill a couple of gas cans for my ATV plow and the generator. I've been putting off buying gas hoping prices would drop. Oh well ( heavy sigh). I always save my...

    Educating the next generation about money.

    Regardless what her Gdad collects either silver or the current SBA or Sacagawea dollars there is a huge difference between the current dollar coins and a Kennedy Half dollar. Not only in size but in the stamping. Not only did she assume the young boy knew what he was talking about but she never...

    Educating the next generation about money.
