Nice story! Glad you got through to them.

As someone who tried to get by with gull bladder issues and to self heal ...... until it EXPLODED.... I can say that since I did some research. There really is no "repair" all you can do is try not to pollute it so much and you can buy some time. Sounds like you bought all you can. Go ahead and...

WOW.... that's allot of cool creative stuff!

I hear ya there!!!!

Beekissed.... I'm surprised the store bought ones look that good! The ones we get around here are so pale you can hardly tell the yolk from the white! Kinda a pastel yellow.:sick We are just getting feathers back now from many of the girls and I have 2 that stopped because the boys got too...

I just had a sunny side up egg! And it was great! I know, not too exciting, but, it got me thinking why I started raising my own chickens! Every few months now days you hear about a recall of eggs or chicken due to one thing or another. I know I have happy healthy chickens and can eat raw eggs...

Peace to kitty and to you. :hugs

If you don't live where it gets real cold, it would probably work for nest boxes. I wouldn't trust that type of plastic in freezing cold though.

Walmart wanted $24.95 for a small covered litter box. They had some Plastic "Toy Chests" about the same size for $4.95. Guess what is now the new covered litter box! Cut a round hole in one end (used a plate as a guide and a solider iron) and a couple of slits on top. Works just as well!

This post looks very "trollish" however..... For some of us, no matter how much we would like to live with "less" .... A/C for some of us with health issues is a matter of survival! I am sure pre- A/C I would have have died by now.

Yea, me too. The first part I get, but with what (and how) do you do the plating? I thought the item had to be submerged to plate?

Hummm....I wonder if making a "straw room" (out of bales) in the garage would work?

I had a cat that trained himself.... don't know why he decided to start either. Sorry, no help, but it can be done!

Wow... sounds like you got quite a plan! Well, I've never done rabbit or pork so no help there. I've never done roasts either! I hope you get some good replies because I'd be interested in answers too!:P I have done chicken, beef, venison and fish (and 1 rabbit). The only advice I can give is...

I noticed too the best time to "tame" a hen is when they're broody. As long as hey have their eggs they are happy. Petting and treats kinds reenforces the broody euphoria that they remember afterward. ;) Congrats on the hatch!

Thanks! You gave me stuff to think about. But by all means keep the ideas coming! Ease of access is important because we're both around 60 and it's getting harder to dig and such. Hubby can get food grade 5 gal. buckets for free so that's a thought... just got to keep them cool without freezing.

OK, here's the thing, we have a big garden and a fairly big ranch style house but no basement. just a dirt/gravel crawl space. I need a place to store root crops and squash over the winter. We have a large attached garage but it freezes in winter. We live in Wisconsin so snow and fluctuating...

I have some roosters past their prime I plan on canning. It's a great way to preserve and use any normally tough meat. If you have canned stew meat, chunky canned carrots, and potatoes, you can make a real quick stew! I also make a "mock salmon" using suckers. I even would get fair ribbons with...

I use Cricket... they have both phone and wireless services. It's done over cell phone towers so that would depend on what's available too. You can check your area @ Mycricket.com

LOL... mommy yummy! :P Wonder if it would work on poison ivy? My family doesn't get it, but many people have asked what to do for it. :rolleyes:
