WrathofKhan posted:As a side note, this is why a lot of old cook books tell you to crack the eggs in a saucer first, you're supposed to be checking for embryos and spoiled eggs. Mom always told me it was to prevent eggshells from getting into your food, and I thought she was full of poo poo because I rarely got eggshell bits in my food. This, however, is a lot grosser than eggshells in my food and I'll be cracking into a saucer from now on.

A flying piece of posted:This thread has caused me to look into the chicken rules of my county (I'm good to go) and start looking at both plans to build a movable coop/run and craigslists for a cheap one already made. Animal Farm, where we suck you into our vortex of crazy cat lady-ness and chicken keeping. edit: Oh, we moved into A/T? Well then. We're still crazy chicken ladies and guys.

marauderthirty posted:Does anybody have any good ideas on some kind of temporary fencing? Our back yard isn't sectioned off from the front, and we are going to want to keep them in the back when it starts to get warmer and the plants start coming in. There is a really thin gap with a thick bush that she doesn't seem to be able to get through on the one side, on the other I think the ideal spot to section would be from the coop to the fence as it's the smallest distance, but it's still about 10 feet. Maybe just get a roll of chicken wire and unroll it when I let them out of the coop? Stacked concrete bricks, a big "baby gate" by using a piece of lattice fencing from Home Depot?

Make sure that the eggs your hens are sitting on are actually hers, lest you end up with something even more adorable: Hilda the hen hatches clutch of ducklings after sitting on wrong nest

His Craigslist posting is pretty well-done with good keyword placement, but that copy-paste smile of his is genuinely creepy, 14 years old or not :/

Are you sure those are animals and not just feather pillows turned inside-out? :P Can people also take a picture of the eggs their chickens put out? I really like RazorBunny's suggestion for selling the dropped feathers on Etsy.

Serella posted:Still, I've known a lot of contractors and none of them brought their dogs with them on jobs in other people's homes, special bond or not. It's just unprofessional. My drywall guy brought his (absolutely adorable, but besides the point) 4 year old son with him when he came out to measure for how many sheets he'd need to order. I'm afraid I kind of hovered around the kid, keeping an eye on him, because come on, it was a construction site with potential sharp debris, open holes in places, etc. The kid was more of a professional than his dad was, trundling over to hold up the end of the measuring tape as far as his tippy-toes would let him reach with the most serious "look I'm helping!" look on his face. But yeah, 4 year olds and dogs don't belong on construction sites.

Chido posted:Well I'm back. I went to a low cost clinic here in El Monte, and got somebody check my eye after a couple of hours of waiting. It is a rather big abrasion, the doctor put this dye on my eye to see it, but it is healing well. He chastised me for not going earlier (I know >.<), but thankfully it is healing well and it's not infected. He gave me a prescription for Bacitracin and strongly recommended me to get it, even though my eye is not infected (yet), and gave me some free eyedrop samples he had. We only want the best for you! so you can continue posting pictures of your big fat cock

I have a heat lamp in the basement pointing at my water meter. It's literally a heat bulb in a reflector shield with clamps on the ends. edit: Exactly this thing: Designers Edge 10.5 in. Brooder Clamp Light and, what, $10 for the bulb?
