Thanks to Myron and Co. for the Chicken class!

I 'henpecked' hubby 'til he agreed to go to this class -- he calls it enabling me in my chicken obsession. And it actually was helpful for both of us. I learned that I am WAY overthinking this. They're chickens for crying out loud, not an endangered species I'm going to kill if I screw up. You know, pets with benefits. Jeff learned it's a common sense thing, and that many people who keep chickens share his aversion to using them for meat after them being pets. (I unfortunately grew up at least p… Continue

I don't know if he still sells them, but we got ours for $2 each.
I'll add you to my friends, and I can email you his phone number if you like.

She came over to pick up my neice and fell in love. She is going on vacation but is scheduled to pick up Misun the 7th of July.
If, for any reason, it falls through you would be 2nd on my list as potential adoptees. He's too young now for shots and worming so that would need to be done in 2 weeks as well as his fix in a few months. Otherwise he is a playful little purr bucket, attention stealer. I really adore him.
And self litter box trained!

His sister needs TLC rehab and is going to an adults only home where she will be well loved and not trauatized by dogs or loud noises and will have vigilant parents about her health; as she may have long term care issues from prolonged abuse and neglect. She still cowers at a moth.

Now I just have one screaming, biting, plucking parrot to get into Oasis and I may have a quasi normal home again :)
Until next time. :)>

The fleas are (hopefully) almost under control. I've got him in quarantine until I know he's safe to be around other animals and humans. I'd say he should be ready to go next weekend. I'm trying to change my av to his pic tonight. Now, he was a feral... so he'll take alot of affection and a bottomless food bowl, but he's coming around so nicely I'm not really concerned. He'll need a clip and his second round of shots by mid July.
Where is Mayer? You're a permie and we are by nature nurturing people, so I know you'll make an excellent home for him.
