    You are totally correct on that. The point of her comment was - to get the process of getting to the hospital started, not waiting for any reason. I dought there are very many people that live close enough to walk or run to a hospital.

    My DD killed a rattler in their garden where they were planting beans in Coffey Co. (eastern Ks.) . She posted the link to a site that tells how to treat a snake bite. Hope no one needs to use the info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/first-aid-snake-bites/FA00047 She had told me if I got...

    http://topeka.craigslist.org/grd/3855727528.html If anyone is looking for a big dog pup - I saw two dogs that were this mix several years ago. They were very pretty and the people had them in a big yard with geese and other poultry. I wish I could handle a big dog now, I would be very...

    Have you put a light where it will shine back where they are at? Chicks will usually come to a light.

    Growing up in Ks, we were told to open windows also. The reason I remember was in regards to the change in air pressure and if a window was open (even just cracked a bit) the sudden change in pressure when a tornado comes close would not be as likely to break the windows. I was in Emporia...

    Yesterday I checked one of the muscovy nests that I knew was going to be a staggered hatch. One duckling was hatching, so I took it to make sure that duck continued to sit on the rest of the eggs. I went to check the other nest. The duck flared a bit and gave a warning. She had a duckling...

    I would take the hatched ones out. I think they do more damage running all over the unhatched eggs leaving them in and they do want to start eating also. Since I have never used "lockdown" rules and never even heard the term until recently, I don't worry about opening a bater to do what needs...

    Wishing you and your family the best with your new life in a new state. I cannot even imagine what you are going through - all of you. They make those little chicken houses that look like a garbage can. Maybe that would conceal you breakfast makers?

    On the subject of snakes, I was told there have been two rattlesnake bites in Ks this spring and there are extra high numbers of rattlers out. One was in either Coffee or Lyon Co. Be careful!!!

    Thanks for that information. I have been totally confused by the terms and differences. Is all of that info just TSC"s? Do other stores call them by different names and even have different "panels"? I have an old one here that belongs to a neighbor. The holes are around 6" square and it is...

    There are not a lot of them in the middle of the country, but someone in SE Ks was selling some. I would talk to the main breeders in the PNW to see who they have sold to. There was a breeder in TX and the best two ewes I had went to someone in OK and the rest of the flock went to MO. There...

    If you like something a bit different, you might consider Soay Sheep. http://www.bing.com/search?q=soay%20sheep&FORM=CPNTLB&PC=CPNTDF&QS=n They are small, so they are easier to handle. They are a hair sheep, but if you get a strain that has the right hair type, it can be used for fleece...

    deb516 ~ Call around as if you need a sitter and check out the local prices. So much can create a difference,, in price - if the home is registered or not, what age they are registered for, what kind of extra, if any, services they offer. Many places would not even accept the 5 month old...

    izzy ~ Colleges are full of international students. If you have a way to do so, find a student that would be willing to trade USDs for your Euro. I know ESU has an international student office, and I assume most do, you could contact. If England uses Euros, I could probably make a contact for...

    jhammett ~ not all greens are created equal, they have different nutrients in them. A larger variety will give the birds a better level of nutrition. Grass plus several weeds will do better than just grass. I have found that the different birds will eat different weeds and some weeds will not...

    Polishpal ~ sorry your cat is missing. In your search for him, don't forget that cats love to get into anything they can fit in. Look in anyplace he could possibly fit - closets, cabnets, storage areas, car trunks, ANYTHING. A friend's cat went missing and turned up a couple of week later...

    An update - 8 chicks have hatched out of 8 eggs. The cat sleeping on the eggs didn't hurt them, maybe helped them. No way to know. But he was sleeping at the end of the aquarium where the eggs were at. And after only having the tiny bantam chicks for such a long time. it is rather nice to...
