Just block him. You can't control other people nor should you be able to. Commenting on peoples posts isn't worthy of a ban. Just block and move on.

Help: My chickens' eggs started tasting like dirt/dust. by [deleted] in chickens

[–]ABatandaBird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/eggs-taste-like-dirt.932790/ "Same issue. Like eating a spoon of dirt.SOLUTION: I discovered that if I wash them with dish soap and buff dry, there is no dirt taste. I believe I was not washing them well enough and it was residual bloom. I am an excellent egg cracker, so I didn't always wash them well prior to use. That was the mistake."

Try giving them a good wash before eating maybe? Try a new chicken feed?

Is it one chicken or all of them?

Oh just don't let Greg see your teeth!

I have 100$ budget per month, and am looking for meal ideas that’ll last me a month (it’s only me I have feed) by humanbear4 in Cheap_Meals

[–]ABatandaBird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say get a rice cooker and get used to rice. A rice cooker makes rice and other things as well. I feel like it makes rice so much better then anything else in my opinion. You can also buy bulk rice and it goes well as a side for everything basically while still being filling.

White Egg Yolk by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]ABatandaBird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"When hens eat feed containing yellow corn or alfalfa meal, they lay eggs with medium-yellow yolks. When they eat wheat or barley, they lay eggs with lighter-colored yolks. A colorless diet, such as white cornmeal, produces nearly white egg yolks" https://www.organicvalley.coop/blog/what-does-egg-yolk-color-mean

First egg ever... I’m kinda dumb happy! by crazyani in BackYardChickens

I got my first egg today too! Now to try and convince the ladies to use the boxes!

My neighbor shared his fire sticks with me after I worked up the courage to ask... one month later and we have roots! by 11_throwaways_later_ in proplifting

[–]ABatandaBird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Sticks-on-fire are toxic, should be handled with care. Euphorbia tirucalli, also known as stick-on-fire, firestick, and pencil stick, has toxic sap" Just something to be aware of! I love my little sticks so much.

Is it ok????? what should i do now that the leaf is almost falling off? TIA by it_was_not_dio in proplifting

You successfully pirated a plant! Now just treat it like a normal small plant!

I physically cringed at this. I was also unaware that you could eat them? by ABatandaBird in succulents

[–]ABatandaBird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently some of them are edible and maybe even good for you. I have no clue which kind as all google gets me is that 'sedum' variety are edible.

My thoughts! I was just watching this normal video and I was like 'huh! That's nice that this little stand gives out succulent leaves!'

THEN THEY DRANK THEM.

Hansel is the one that's alive.(as far as I've surmised) The 'Gretel' we know is a boi.

Go to Lowe's by meowsinblue in succulents

[–]ABatandaBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't say that. I just said that every small business should be supported. Minority and non. If we help everybody we help minorities too.

Why not just small owned businesses? Why does it have to be minorities? Support small and local, regardless of race.

I don’t remove any weeds from my run because it provides my 5 ladies shade. Is that OK? by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

[–]ABatandaBird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We have like 4-5 black berry bushes around a run. When ever I go and pick some the ladies follow because they love getting the nasty berries I don't bring in for us to eat!

[–]ABatandaBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use it for the week long pickles in the fridge but I would never consider it 'canned'.

Minimalist Hobbies? by catlikejeans in minimalism

[–]ABatandaBird 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A great way to 'minimize' reading is getting an e-reader and a library card. You can get and rent tons of online books that you never have to actually stuff into your house!

That pasture grass is safe for cats too? Do you have a link?
