    Things you wish you could say

    I only drink spring water... Zephyrhills to be specific... it comes from a deep aquifer. Once water has been evaporated into clouds, that's distillation which removes everything that's not a water molecule. Therefore rain is safe, although not very yummy without the minerals. And once rain...

    Let's settle this once and for all! I challenge you to a broccoli fight! First little bitter tree thing to get obliterated loses. Fishes drink their poo water... and human poo water... shark poo, whale poo, blobby little ocean floor critter poo...

    Ewww... I haven't tried it, but I don't have to, sometimes you just know something is yicky. Like fish, broccoli, escargot, mixed produce "smoothies", sugar-free beverages, prunes, sauerkraut, spore-filled fungus sponges, various oozing lumpy mixes termed "salads" that really aren't, desserts...

    Looking for Gene info for the Alula / Bastard Wing / Carpal Spur.

    Reminds me of Deinonychus, which I recently saw featured in this video... PBS - "Birds Are Living Dinosaurs"

    Why do breeders do this?

    Humans come along thinking Gods design has no purpose :rolleyes: I would be worried about dust and particles causing issues down the road. If the nostrils were supposed to be open the natural coverings wouldn't exist. Most likely, the people that do this are using it to mark culls for sale, so...

    Assess thyself

    The questions had absolutely nothing to do with the results? I was surprised with how inappropriate it was. But anyway, I got Mansplainer, not a surprise. Probably only one of the questions led to the answer, and the others were a distraction. A rude, indecipherable distraction... what gens...

    Breeding, culling and weights, can someone help me please?

    To some extent, yes early weight indicates final weight. However, in practice it can be hampered by personalities. Assertive birds get more to eat, docile birds get less. My bigger (final) birds have often been the more docile ones. Slimmer cockerels tend to mature faster, in my experience...

    Elector PSP for Mites & Lice ($20)

    Hi Amy, Elanco (makers of Elector PSP) say opened product lasts for 3 years, if properly stored. The most essential thing is to protect it from light exposure. The purpose of the dark green bottles is to avoid UV exposure during use. It should also be stored in a dark cabinet at normal room...

    🫣 I would need chapstick all day, like when we stayed in Idaho. I don't think we've ever gotten that low in FL! Here: 92 F / 89% humidity.

    Poll - Diatomaceous Earth. Yes or No?

    No, it's way too dangerous for airways! For bugs, I use Elector Psp (Spinosad). It works the first time, it's very safe, and no egg withdrawal.

    Puzzling aggressive cat behavior

    How is his water intake? My female cat gets very cranky when she is not drinking enough, normally she is a snugglebug. But she doesn't love water, like a lot of cats, and she must experience discomfort from her dehydration because I can tell by the look on her face. I give her more "soups" which...

    If you watch videos or read statements where people mention PC, they are always putting someone else down. They never use the term while saying something polite. It's used to deflect responsibility for objectionable speech onto the hearer rather than the speaker. It's an artifice, created for...

    But that's what PC actually is! It used to be called Polite. Then people decided being polite and considering others feelings was something to put down, so they invented a label they could use with a sneer. If you believe in the Golden Rule then you are PC and that's totally cool and the way...

    I wish I could say, I have some idea how to sort through 40+ juveniles when I have no pen space left to shift keepers to... I haven't been putting it off and they aren't exploding like popcorn... The death ray laser in the sky isn't trying to roast me for supper... I have a new coop built and...

    Never, never going to leave my mouth! There needs to be a reasonable justification for words pronounced differently than the spelling or I speak the spelling, so there! Forget the arbitrary rules. I used to say my brother would finally grow up in his 30's. Didn't happen, he's worse now. The...

    Lost a Baby Chick

    I'm the same! But my reason is cocci. I used to have such a problem with it despite my regular cleaning protocol (germaphobe)... that I kicked it up a notch. It didn't help that the #1 response to my posts about sick chicks were that the waters must be filthy. Oy. You know how I finally fixed...
