Comment on chicken run and coop size? by rustyoldma

Each bird needs 12 inches to roost on. And one laying box per three birds. I use covered cat litter boxes. Room enough for you to go in and out. Since building supplies usually come in 4 x 8 foot, 8 X 12 or 16 foot will be enough to grow into, adding more poles for roosting as you get more birds. Runs should be as large and as many as you can afford. I have six chicken holes in my coop and six different runs. When one pasture starts looking bad, I close that door and open another. I have an 8 X 12 coop and found thirty birds were a bit too many, but twevle to eighteen is just right. Go to tractor supply store and buy a book.

Comment on Is this ok to use or what? by Faith

I am impressed with your creativeness. I would not suggest using that thermometer though. Even on the body they are not exactly accurate and some times completly off which would worry me in regards to your little ones. Many kudos on all of your research it sounds as though you put alot of work into this. Thats great!! There are several thermometers that you can pick up from pretty much any pet store at a very reasonable cost. I know with my snakes, lizards and turtles the thermometer was the cheapest buy for the tank. Best of Luck!!

It sound like some human has been messing around the nest…Once the mommy gets a sence of human smell,They will leave their nest an never come back…You need to get ahold of someone who takes care of animals in trouble like this…Call an animal shelter and maybe they can tell you who to contract..GOOD LUCK…

Comment on I have a four year old raccoon that has never been in the wild, is there a shelter that we can donate him to? by clovicat

Why are you getting rid of him now? Seems like you did a good job making him into a pet, and now you want to dump him on someone else? Is he starting to act like a raccoon?

Try a wildlife rehab center. Unfortunately, it is too common that people take cute little wild animals into their house, teach them to like people, and then want to turn them loose when they are tired of them. This raccoon will not survive well in the wild because he has been trained to trust people, and would probably seek out areas that people inhabit. That would get him labelled as a nuisance, and probably trapped, euthanized.

Good luck, and I hope for his sake that you find a place to have him taken care of. In the future, please don’t abuse a wild animal by trying to make it a pet.

Comment on My Cockatiels laid 4 eggs, 1 hatched last Friday.The other eggs are still there.How long before I remove them? by Julia H

Julia H — Sun, 20 May 2012 23:31:32 +0000

Wait until this Friday…if the others have not hatched by then, use something long and skinny, like a chop stick or butter knife to gently roll them from under her without upsetting her or the one hatchling too badly. Hold the unhatched eggs up to a lightbulb, if you can see through them, they are not fertile anyway, so discard them. I am wondering what time frame she laid them all in to begin with….

Comment on Since we’re on the South, mind if I repost these????? by Southern Comfort

Some of our friends probably need a tad more of an explanation. I’d like to add…bar = bear. I have friends who live in Tennessee, Lousiana, North Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia who do speak exactly this way.
They are not inbred. They hunt, fish and have businesses.
May I add painties = ladies underwear
If I don’t hear people speak like this for awhile I miss it.
