Texas

I'm trying to identify some little weeds that have grown up in my parrot aviary since the rains. It looks like chickweed, but it has little yellow flowers. Can chickweed have yellow flowers? Thanks.

Good Morning!

Yes!!! I like to say that I live in Texas for a reason. Give me hot summers any day. I dislike the cold. And anything under 78 degrees is cold in my book...

I'm the same way. After 14 long cold winters years in Illinois, I've been thawing out in Texas ever since. It's been 26 years now and I love it.

One of our new redheads has developed the endearing habit of repeatedly tapping on the window to get our attention when she sees us in the house. I think she likes to hear the sound of her tapping.

If refrigerated, how long before fertility is effected in eggs? Have a hen going broody, and want to place only blue eggs under her, but have had any in two days. Can I put 3&4 day old refrigerated (warmed to room temp before putting under her) without really reducing fertility?

Here is a thread discussing people who bought store bought eggs and hatched them!

I knew something was wrong in my software. Blame this error on uncle Bill Gate for failure to track nick name to Teri MetCAlf. The weather is awesome, hope everyone enjoys their day.

We got our two new redheads last Thursday, and yesterday they apparently noticed the cat for the first time. Usually we keep Smoky indoors during the day and let him out at night. But in this beautiful weather, he was sunning himself on the poop deck and minding his own business. Both girls cautiously went over to chick him out, and apparently Smoky didn't meet with their approval. They started complaining loudly, and Reba began pacing back and forth in front of Smoky (about 6 or 8 inches away), still complaining and scolding. I couldn't understand what she was actually saying, but from the tone of her voice I know she was using very fowl language. Smoky could have reached out and swatted her, but he didn't, probably because he knew I was watching. Anyhow, it was a funny scene.

Sound like "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" .

Our 9 week olds discovered our cat yesterday evening, too. All the Silver Hamburg roo did was stand up real tall and send the alert to the others. It sounds like you have little drama queens!! . ...and a very patient cat!
