    Rent-A-Chcken For Farm Fresh Eggs

    in Go Gardening and Nature

    Posted

    ROFLMAO!!!!!!  Normally in Towns and Cities farm animals are NOT allowed.  At the central tractor store you can buy chicken or duck chicks in several different varieties depending on if you want white eggs, brown eggs, green eggs, blue eggs, yellow eggs or duck eggs.  And they normally only cost a few dollars per biddie.  You should be able to find simple instructions for building a coop online including a tool and materials list.  The coop would probably set you back about fifty dollars or so.

     

    Add in like Bon said though... time, feed and heat. My daughter begged for a duckling last year at the tractor store....It was less than $10 as I recall but I knew as we went along it would be too much hassle as well as too much money (unless of course you had a full blown business devoted to this).  I am with WMJ....I'll just buy my eggs from the market.

    Haunted tunnel.

    I read about the tunnel collapse in the actual old article a few years but cannot find the story right now. I am determined now to though. The story with the kid(s) is too old and is a legend....true? Who knows. But I do know what I felt on my boot and what I saw at the entrance, and not to mention what my pup was growling at when I took her.

     

    But I do believe the mob stories in this area, especially at the coke ovens. Perfect place to hide a body and no one say a word.

    I've never done much research on the area, but your experience has me intrigued.  I would like to know what else was in the area before the tunnels.  Does anyone know?  If it's already been mentioned, I apologize for asking again.

     

    I do agree with you though Shmoopie, that sort of energy wouldn't be pleasant.  Sorry you had that experience, but glad to hear it didn't stop you from looking!

     

    Marine4 from here knows the story much better than I do, but there is a story of two children that went missing (traveling back home) and (one or both) found passed away in the area.  What was creepy was the youngest was about my son's age (3-4) and while I was walking the lower tunnel, I felt "him" holding onto my boot as I walked along. There was also a collapse in the top tunnel killing I think about 12 workers (you can see where the brick changes).

     

    The mob was also big in the area back in the day, and there are stories that this is one of the locations for kills (the coke ovens are another....belt buckles, keys, etc found in some ovens help to confirm that)

    Old3dogg just found a reason to love haunted tunnels. :)

     

    lol and why we love you and you are our old3dogg :)  

     

    Seriously though, if anyone wants to go, I am kid free this weekend and would love to come up!! Bring knee high s&*tkickers though....you may need them with the extra melting.  The water in the upper tunnel may be deeper than normal (just a guess)

    I will gladly help lead anyone through the upper tunnel and safely down the hill to the lower tunnel lol), but I will not go to the lower (active) tunnel as night falls. Never again will I go through seeing or feeling anything like that in my life again. And I like ghosts, I have a hobby of hunting them...but that thing, that was just demonic in nature.  To feel a child like apparition hold onto my boot as I walked and then turn around and see the fog  at the entrance turn into a human form at the other end walking back and forth (as if a warden) was enough for me.

    ugly weiner!

    :rofl:  I am just waiting for it to fall face first into something. I can't say it's the most adorable dog I have seen. but I have  a soft heart when it comes to pets. I'd adopt a pup like that....and gift it to Bon....in a heartbeat ;) lol

    Kitten worms

    in Pet Forum

    One round of deworming is usually not enough.  You will have to do it atleast twice if not three times (with a couple weeks in between) in order to completely deworm. The original deworm only lets go of the "host" worms....the larvae in migration are normally not killed by most products and will need to be taken care of again.

     

    As for the "rice" looking things:

     

     

    Life cycle of the tapeworm and how cats become infected with tapeworms:

    The tapeworm needs two 'hosts' to complete their life cycle. First is the intermediate host (the flea or rodent), which passes the larval stage of the tapeworm around, and the final host (your cat), where the larvae develops into an adult tapeworm.  Once the tapeworm reaches maturity (in around 2 - 3 weeks), proglottids, (which now contain up to 20 eggs), break off and leave the body via the feces or crawl out of the anus. Proglottids have the appearance of rice grains and are motile (capable of movement). Once outside the body, the proglottids dry out, releasing the eggs (which have the appearance of sesame seeds). Eggs are then eaten by flea larvae or accidentally ingested by a rodent and so the cycle begins once again.
