I think we have the best cat. She doesn't climb up on the counters or table. Only get on the furniture when invited. The closest she got to our Christmas tree was sleeping behind it waiting for the mice that where playing in it. She doesn't claw the furniture or walls or anything for that...

Quote: Sorry for your loss. He sure was pretty. I've had 2 hawks hanging out in the woods just behind the coop. I haven't let anybody out since we spotted them. I went out one afternoon to collect eggs and one was just behind the silkie pen and I scared it away as I walked by it. I didn't...

In the summer I wear crocs all the time, well unless it's wet or muddy. The chickens are always pecking at my feet thru the holes. I had a pair of orange ones and the roos hated them. They would attack my feet like it was life or death. I had to stop wearing them and get another color. They...

You could probably have found one at a TSC or another large farm store. We have Rural King and they have nearly the same stuff for women as they do for men. They do have alot of pink though also. They have John Deere boots for girls that are pink. They cost about as much as a real tractor...

Quote: That reminds me of what I did today. I had to take some eggs to the post office so as soon as I finished with the chickens I grabbed the box and headed to the P.O. I realized as I was standing there I was wearing the coat I wear out to the coops and my boots which have chicken poo...

Quote: My house would have a large living room, the master bedroom and bath would be large and have one of those jacuzzi tubs. The kitchen would be large with a dining room to hold a large table so on holidays I would have room for my family to eat at the table. I would have a spare room so...

Oh, and I forgot to mention the silkie pens I would have. They would all have automatic water and feeders and the water system would be freeze proof. They would all have a space inside a building that was heated in the winter where their food, nesting and sleeping would be. No more frozen eggs...

Quote: I do that too. I imagine how I would have the room set up. I would have a 5 drawer cabinet incubator and a 3 drawer hatcher with brooders along one wall and a walk in closet that had a chicken pharmacy and all their supplies in order on shelves and drawers with the smaller things that...

Quote: Her face isn't all bubbly with snot anymore but it's still there. Everyitme she sneezes she blows it all over the walls of the aquarium she's in. She is eating and drinking a little on her own. She is normally glutton with food but she is eating. Yesterday she got a bit of biscuit...

I'll just keep my fingers crossed she makes it.

Not all my chickens did good last night. My production red hen was sitting facing the corner with bubbles in her eyes. I picked her up to hear her breathing. Not bad but it's there. Her voice is also very horse. So I brought her straight inside and fixed her up some tetraclyclene (sp?) and...

Quote: My birds did well yesterday. The only thing we can't button up completely is the big coop. They all did fine. I'm hoping they all survive this winter. It started with a vengence. My main silkie pen is kozy and there is a heated water bowl in there so they're the only ones I don't...

Quote: None of mine left their coops or pens. They all stayed in.

Our run on the coop is 14' X 20'. I wish we had a huge tarp to cover it with so they could still get out of the coop. We're gonna have to close the run door and install another for the other side. The other side has 5 little oebg's and 3 ducks. There are 5 EE's, 4 RIR and a production red in...
