LOL! I keep a strange schedule, Uni. What's for supper might be my dinner, what's for lunch might be a late night snack.
(I eats when I'm hungry, and I eats what I'm craving, hehe).
Or when someone else is hungry anyhow, and in that case I eat irregularly anyway. LOL!
Why don't you like brown eggs? They can come from white chickens, ROFLMBO!

They are to strong(rich tasting). I tried some duck eggs once, the yolks were to rich for my taste. Barnyard chickens are well known for eating poop of anykind. Chickens are freaking nasty and not worth the cost of raising them. When I was a kid I would raid the nests, take the eggs to the country store and sell them. Then mommy would have to buy the city slicker eggs in town hehehe. They tasted better.

In the old days when we had farm milk, it was not very pleasant when the old milk cow had been eating wild green onions in the spring. YUK & LOL

Nope, but I think the old skunk I have living in the back forty has a thang for the tailpipe on my Harley.. He's about gonna get his stripe shot off if he decides to spray.. I'm real patient when it comes to nature and all, I moved into THEIR territory and all. But when it comes to my Harley? My patience might be a bit on the thin side, LOL. I don't mind that old skunk, he's been pretty polite so far, but I think he's getting too brave around this homestead. True story. No bull....
Funny you brought up skunks.

Nice to have another HD rider on here, flstfi Fatboy here, just finishing up a HOK marblization paint job on her, got two coats of clear to spray and I'm done.

My chickens have never eaten their own poop, nor the dog poop.. It surely would make keeping their coop and the yard cleaned of animal feces, a much easier chore.

My poor dogs can't poop without the chickens waddling over to take a peek though, LOL! Poor dogs never know exactly what to do... They don't know if a friendly "peck" on the hiney is coming or not, hehe.

Now the dogs eating cat poop? That's an ongoing dilemma...

For the BIRDS. Too funny.

BTW, agree with you, UNI on the duck egg thing. They're too strong for me too. Ever eaten an ostrich egg?

@ Hemp: That sounds awesome! I can only picture that paint job! Wish I could see some pics of it..

Woman films interesting encounter with wild animals on her porch

A woman in Alaska captured an interesting moment she found upon her return home. Her pet cats, 3 eagles and a fox were all hanging out together near her house.

http://news.yahoo.com/video/woman-films-inter...

I tend to agree with the posters on that site about them all being too familiar with the porch and cats, then her with a camera in their face. Pretty cool to come home to though. Amazing how the Creator's critters interact. You will love the Godvines I got tonight.

Absolutely correct. But who could stand to cage their own hens. I couldn't... I get too much joy out of watching them play.
What do you give your hens during the winter months for greenery, AW?

I agree on watching the chickens play. I enjoy letting them out and watching the 1/2 flying race as they head toward the creek. It is sort of like "last one there is a rotten egg" LOL They enjoy the water holes and all the greenery around the creek. I felt sorry for them over the past month, they would race to the creek only to find it all dried up. But they still hung out under the over hanging greenery to stay cool.

In winter, I check the local groceries that have marked down the pre-cut salads to 50 cents. I don't give them that every day though. Maybe 3 times a week. I also line the floors of my chicken pens with hay. They eat the seeds and then the remainder soaks up the poo that I shovel up and use for garden compost.

[Abeliever]

Seen this last night while I was on topix and meant to post, as I am sure it is in all forums, I wanted to let those who might not have seen it appreciate it too. Sad, senseless tragedy.

"We at Topix want to express our deepest sympathy for those involved in the Aurora, CO tragedy. This forum exists so that you can freely express your thoughts particularly when it comes to events such as this. However, we ask that you be mindful and respectful of the victims and their families in your comments."

Appeared at the top where the Attorney General's notice was posted last year about bullying etc. They should of kept that up from the looks of some of the threads on forums.

A chicken sprinting across the barnyard in persuit of a June bug, that's lol.

Funny about the creek thing, LOL. I usually get price reduced greens for my flock in the winter too.

Also use the coop refuse in the gardens. Nothing better for your veggie plants and flower gardens than aged chicken poo. I keep it in a mulch/compost pile so it can "cool" off. You'd never guess some of the things that have taken root in our mulch/compost pile. Even had an avocado seed sprout up last year. Tried to re-pot it and bring it in the house, but it didn't make it... Had I known the winter would have been so mild, I'd have probably been better off leaving it out there, haha.

Go online to watch big asteroid zoom past our planet

Skywatching website to monitor 2002 AM31's flyby on Sunday; no threat to Earth

NASA / JPL
This graphic plots the orbit of the near-Earth asteroid 2002 AM31 through the solar system. The city-block size asteroid will fly by Earth on Sunday, coming within 17 lunar distances to the planet.

A city-block size asteroid will fly by Earth this weekend, well beyond the orbit of the moon, and you can watch it zip safely by live in an online webcast.

The asteroid 2002 AM31 will make its closest approach to Earth on Sunday, when it will pass by at a range of about 3.2 million miles (5.2 million kilometers). That's about 13.7 times the distance between Earth and the moon.

On Sunday, the Slooh Space Camera skywatching website will host two live webcasts to offer Internet denizens views of the space rock from telescopes at the Prescott Observatory in Arizona and the Canary Islands, off the west coast of Africa.

Asteroid 2002 AM31 has no chance of hitting Earth this weekend, scientists say, though it is on the watch list as an object that may one day pose a future concern. The space rock is listed as a "potentially hazardous asteroid" by the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass.

Asteroid 2002 AM31 was discovered in 2002. It's being tracked by radar by astronomers at NASA's deep-space radio antenna in Goldstone, Calif., and at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico for its weekend flyby.

A July 12 look at the asteroid by the Arecibo radar suggests the asteroid is about 1,115 feet wide (340 meters), according to a Goldstone radar observation planning update. But a notice from NASA's Asteroid Watch program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., estimates that the asteroid is more than twice that size, with a diameter of about 2,600 feet (792 meters).

Sunday's webcasts are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET and 11 p.m. ET. They can be accessed at the Slooh website: http://www.slooh.com

"Near-Earth asteroid 153958 (2002 AM31) represents one of approximately 9,000 whizzing past Earth at any given moment and we wanted to highlight this one as it's only 13.7 lunar distances from Earth and well over one city block big — similar to near-Earth asteroid LZ1 which zoomed past us unexpectedly mid-June," Slooh Space Camera president Patrick Paolucci told Space.com .

Paolucci, Slooh's Paul Cox and Astronomy Magazine's Bob Berman will provide commentary during the asteroid flyby webcast, with astronomer Matt Francis of the Prescott Observatory joining for the second session.

Dash-cam vid proves humans can be nice to each other

During difficult times it's nice to be reminded that at our core, human beings just want to help each other. And honestly, we never imagined a dash-cam video would bring us such a touching display as this one. As an elderly woman tries to cross a busy street, traffic simply won't let up, and she's left standing dangerously in the crosswalk with cars going by her. Finally, a concerned driver stops his car, gets out and offers the woman a hand getting to the sidewalk. The whole thing takes less than 10 seconds, but witnessing kindness like this has a lasting effect.

Good people doing good things every day!:)

[_-_Nope_-_]

Well, I'm getting a bit droopy eyed, everyone. Time for Nope to lay her body down. Good Lord willing, to get back up well, refreshed and raring to go tomorrow.

Take care. Nice to have a such great conversation with you all again tonight, as usual.
(Yes, even you, Uni. LOL)!

God bless~

I may try to catch that on line, getting my dobsonian on it may be tuff, certainly not as easy as haley back in 86, that was good stuff there.

Short version earthquake update:)

California and Alaska had small magnitude earthquakes. Indonesia had several with 5.3 magnitude, so did Russia 4.2 mag, Tonga 4.9 mag, and Greece had 4.2 mag. Turkey, Lebanon, Chile, Poland, Italy, Iraq, British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Mexico had 3.+ magnitude earthquakes.

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php

When you pull the map up there are no signs of any earthquake icons. There is always icons, some blinking indicating active at the moment. That is odd. Maybe they are getting too many clicks and providing too much info and will be next to disappear. Wonder if the dead animals Parigim disappearing had to do with all the release lately of the Navy sonar program. hmmmm
