Very... very small pots
Comments (14)Hooray! So many problems solved! My man's daughter showed up with fund-raising (racketeering) magazines & look what they have for $13 a set! I got a ruler out & did a to-scale sketch & all that other math. Now, not only do I get the pleasure of spending his paycheck, but I also get to start up some baby bonsai! I am an ukiyo-e printmaker & love making very small things so these babies are right up my alley. I still want a rosemary & thyme bonsai but there is a crab apple tree in my apartment complex & I'm literally a 15 minute walk from the lovely NW Oregon forest... cutting paradise. I'm sure there are moss fanatics around here so I'm hoping someone knows what I mean when I say tardigrade garden!!! Always wanted to make one! Loving your ideas & insights! My Dad has a cactus -the breed escapes me at the moment- that has been in the family for almost 40 years; I've got a piece with my name on it & I will definitely be succulent shopping soon....See MoreSmall Eggs Confusing Me
Comments (9)Thanks for all the responses! It's interesting how a subject evolves. Great web-site you have there, Velvet Sparrow. Very helpful. At this point, I'm pretty certain they are just molting. Everybody is as perky, active and hungry as usual. The feather loss seems to be increasing some, but the skin and remaining feathers look healthy and I see no external parasites. Still, nobody looks at all bald, so I guess new feathers are growing in about as fast as they're falling out! Dust bathing appears to be no more or less popular than usual. I use DE sparingly in the boxes -under the carpet scrap I keep in the bottom of each box- and on the slab floor, before replacing wood chips every time I clean the coop. And nobody with chickens on their own place EVER enters my hen yard. So I think I maintain a healthy environment. I never have wormed them (they are almost a year old now), but after reading VS's view on that, I'm thinking maybe I should. I guess I'll ask my good old country vet for his thoughts. I would really rather use the DE for worming, too, instead of ivermectin, but I'll see what his experience reveals. Doc spent some years in research at Texas A&M before going into private practice, and he has some really unusual and practical remedies up his sleeve for various things. If I learn anything good, I'll pass it on! I've heard the roo sneeze about 3 times in the past month. The first time he did it I was terrified that everybody was gonna be sneezing and wheezing within days, but nothing developed. I'm thinking maybe ol' Silver Streak just has allergies! DH and I are sure suffering with the oak catkins lately. Yesterday I only got 4 eggs - an all-time low, but then on Saturday we had disturbed the flock with tractor work all day right beside their pen. I get such a kick out of watching the ladies watch us! They are quite the curious little mob. Even tho the tractor is loud, they crowd right up at the fence to see what we're doing. Only poor Streak seems truly upset by the disturbance. I found it interesting that after a good rain yesterday morning, the chickens spent the day industriously excavating a pretty deep hole in the mud. I couldn't see any worms or bugs, but they acted like they were finding plenty to eat in their hole. Guess I had better get them some meal worms next time I drive to town. I wish I could let them into my veggie garden to devour whatever is munching on my chard, collards and lettuce, but the birds do more damage than the bugs! All I can do is pick off the pests I see and toss them thru the fence to the chickens. (and of course they also get all the bug-eaten greens) pam...See MoreBlack Eggs
Comments (12)weed, could very well be since the adult moths will lay on just about anything. They're inside in a jar now, so we'll see when (and if) they hatch. I tried to get a better pic but the macro setting on the camera doesn't do all that fantastic of a job. Or maybe I just don't know how to do it correctly. I'm still secretly hoping they're something cool....See MoreEggs ID Very Strange
