Comments (3)Are you new with chickens? I don't know if you need advice or not, but I am going to give it anyway. Always carefully inspect any feed you give your chickens. When you open each bag, smell it for any hint of mold or spoilage. Run your hands through it and feel for heat, which is a clear indication of spoilage. Look at it closely for anything that doesn't look right. Keep the feed well away from the water. If it gets wet, it will spoil. Keep the water sparkling clean. Not easy to do with hens. I use self waters and suspend them so the chickens can reach the water, but most of the dirt they scratch doesn't get up that high. Then they still need to be cleaned a couple of times a day. Heat will kill chickens. Make sure they always have good shade in the summer and that their hen house doesn't heat up in the sun. I would not introduce new birds to my flock without keeping them in quarantine for at least a week to make sure they weren't sick. And then.... even with excellent care, sometimes birds just die. I'm sorry you lost your baby and hope the rest of the flock is OK....See MoreSudden Allergy to--Shrimp?!
Comments (43)Shellfish allergies are no joke. This is the one allergen that is " Adult onset". I grew up on the ocean; and have eaten lots of shrimp. In 2005 I had my first reaction to shellfish. After 2 bites, my throat started to close up. Last night 2018 was my last exposure; and it was more severe. It was cross contamination. I had a steak where a lot of shrimp was on the menu. My steak was cooked where shrimp was cooked. I was in the ER within an hour of exposure via 911 ambulance. Vomiting, sweating out of every pore and blacked out twice. Once hitting a wall so hard everything fell off and broke on the opposite side. The EMTs kept asking me if I have been drinking.... None of my family told them I just ate at a local restaurant and had a severe shellfish allergy. I could not communicate this as I was in and out of consciousness. I am now going to an allergist, getting a medical alert bracelet and an epipen. I guess my family was too freaked to communicate what was going on....See MoreHeartfelt sympathies for gluten-sensitives
Comments (20)I never liked soft white breads (including burger buns and dinner rolls), void of any fiber and nutrients, before going gluten-free, and I REALLY don't like the gluten-free versions I've tried. I made Cloud Bread once --- thought I was eating scrambled eggs because of the flavor of it. It's interesting all the bread recipes I've tried, especially early on after going gluten-free. In January I made "Gluten-free Sourdough Oat English Muffins" using starter made with quinoa flour (recipe from Cultures For Health: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/gluten-free-sourdough-oat-english-muffin-recipe). They were actually very good, but don't keep well (even frozen), which is another problem with a lot of gluten-free breads - poor keepers, and they also crumble easily the older they get, or after being frozen - yet another characteristic of many gluten-free breads. The next time I make this recipe I will only make 1/2 a recipe. The bread we like currently is a yeasted, dense, seedy bread (more like a traditional steam-baked pumpernickel - looks more like a brown brick kind of bread) which works best toasted. I remember my mother (who had celiac disease) would crave something with yeast in it, so that's why I gave this recipe a try. I find making gluten-free pancakes, waffles, and muffins far better, and more convincing baked goods, than sandwich-style breads. I serve those all the time to family/friends who are visiting and they can't tell the difference. -Grainlady...See MoreRangpur sensitive to sudden light changes
Comments (3)I had a grow light on it as well, but nothing quite as intense as Steve's ingenious setup. I think there's just so little sun in the winter in the PNW (high latitude plus only 4 full sunny days NOV-MAR this year) that my tree got used to a very low light level and was shocked when it was released back into the wild, with its high light / high wind / night temps dropping occasionally to 40 or so....See More- 7 years ago
