... Thanks, Ruth, I'll use that info. Katie and I went to Zellers yesterday to buy a Rubbermaid container that would custom fit the little space we have for...
Hey Cindy! Happy New Year to you and all who dwell in Chicken Land. I told Shorty about the manly prowess of Piggy with Mr. Toy. She said, "Um strong. A...
I posted a pic of Phoebe's nest box in the 'Set-up' album. Could you veterans have a look and give me any suggestions? It is quite small (25 X 18 X 10 inches)...
Ruth the pics of booblet and her babies are just precious.. They really do look like one little happy family. Where was George when they had their litttle...
Thanks, Annette, ... that's it! It was vanilla. Now my only problem is... I don't even use real vanilla for my family in my baking. I suppose it has to be ...
It can just be normal Vanilla extract youd buy at the grocery store. the dose is like 2tbs per gallon.. adjust as needed. I just added a little to Punky's...
Greetings to chicken land. Schmoo is flattered that you loved her pictures. Now the other 4 are complaining--serious sibling rivalry. Vanilla does what...
Hello Fellow Chicken Family, Here's what I've been doing to keep my two girls indoors, and I could go away and leave them for a week, they need that little...
... Hi Annette, I usually know when Booblet wants to lay an egg and I remove her diaper. The diapers that I make, if the bird wants to lay an egg in her...
Hi, My birds have laid eggs in their diapers. I didn't even realize they were in there until I removed them. I did think they were kind of heavy. The eggs...
Thanks for your set-up ideas. You are so right, Annette, didn't Phoebe fly out of the little arrangement last night. She was lonely for us and out of the...
Oh heavens, yes, he surely is! Piggy is in fact, a 'show-off' rooster, of the type they say is the best disposition for breeding - it breaks his heart that no...
Suze, thanks for asking! The kitchen is coming along - today it got half its ceiling! Once that is on and the burnt wall replaced (hopefully tomorrow), we can...
Since Christmas, Phoebe has been perched in the living room in various spots with a drop cloth beneath her. Now, this morning, I decided it was time to get...
Funny how they really have their own personalities, eh? Betty Ann, I have been meaning to tell you and Katie how brilliant your chicken boots are!!! I called...
Aunt Shorty is very impressed about the snake! Although my Louise (Rhode Island Red) loves small mice, she rears away from even a tiny little 3 inch snake. I...
Sweet little Beaker!! I've heard so much about her - give that pretty girl a chin rub from me! I sure will, Cindy! And a kiss on the comb, and a snuggle on...
Beaker is beautiful! Just love that rich mahogany color. Thank you! I think so, too. When I was at the county fair this year, I noticed Beaker was a lot...
What a wrestling match! Not getting her into it - that was simple. Once she had it on, she was determined to remove it. She got the shoulder straps off...
... Beaker even opened her Christmas present! It was cute the way she pulled at the wrapping, all excited about what was underneath. She received freeze ...
Good morning, Robin, ... those are encouraging words. I was feeling pretty mean, not taking it off. I'll keep at it so that she gets used to it. It really ...
To all, It's been cold and snowy here. The gal's have been stuck in their coop. Finally I let them out today and they rushed in a frenzy to dustbath. Such...
Such chicken joy--it cracked us up. See photo in Files, ... Oh we like to be amused! That is such a hoot! I get such a kick out of watching chickens do...
Ruth, Glad you liked the polar bear club. Did you notice the black silkie off to the side? That's my poor ostracized SallyAnn that I wrote about a while back...
That's my poor ostracized SallyAnn that I ... pathetic? Poor SallyAnn. It makes me want to pick up the poor little dear and bring her inside. Is she much of...
I love the Polar Bear Club!!! Those brave chickens... but oh, poor little Sally... it was nice to see her hanging out with Schmoo (LOVE her in her Santa...
Well Ruth, the pinenuts are treats. I'm trying to woo poor Miss SAllyAnn who goes wild for them! No she's not a snuggler. She's soo skiddish because it's...
Annette Loved the photo - it looks so much like my back porch, right down to the dust bath area! Could that be Aunt Shorty's pot I see in the back near the...
Well, here are pictures of the pigeons. I tried sending them a couple of days ago, from the shop, but somehow, the message never showed up. Then, the camera...
