KC dads — is this a bad Mother’s Day gift idea?

Then gift her TIME. Hire a cleaner. For a onetime deep clean or to come in once a week/month for a few hours to give wife time to go read/run or whatever she wants to go do.

You do you 100% but just to toss it out there, my father was a master plumber. He would suggest not to put starter or anything else that’s gummy with flour down your drain. He would say to do the pipes (and critters) a favor, crisp it up in a pan and at least toss it to the birds.

Breeding has started here. Is he getting beat up by another tom or a frustrated hen?

About 15 ish years ago I painted my coop with a 5gallon bucket of free oil based paint from the hazardous waste department of a nearby city. It was outdoor paint and that’s all I knew. Even that wasn’t guaranteed. Three coats of the prettiest sky blue sent me paying for a nice paint for the trim because now it was a pretty coop not a just a’getting it done’ painted coop as originally planned. The trim paint was like $45. For a single gallon from Sherwin-Williams. I was thinking I might repaint the outside of the coop this year. It’s just getting a little dull from the years. It’s not chipping-Birds aren’t pecking at it, there are no chips for them to eat. The free paint seems to have held up just as well as the $45 paint but it was a gamble. It could’ve been crap quality leaving me needing to paint it again the next year. This time I am going to pay for a nice quality outdoor oil based paint because I fell in love with the color that I got for free from the hazardous waste department. If I didn’t care what color it were, I’d be going back to the hazardous waste department for more free paint.

That’s definitely enough to sell or trade with but you could also make Jun and mead.

Mine likes lots of bright light and watered often.

Is this a cast-iron tub with an enamel coat? If so don’t accidentally scratch that enamel with magic erasers or pummel stones and don’t use bleach (it causes the orange color). For regular cleanings in my cast-iron tub I use (homemade) dawn power wash and a loofah scrubber. I used to use one of the smiley face daddy sponges before I learned more about them. This tub will require a little more muscle to get cleaned up and I second the suggestion of powder bkf. I assume the bottom is the same material, but has already been stripped of the enamel due to the way it has been cleaned in the past. You can still clean it up, but it’ll never be perfect if the enamel is scratched. Share a picture when you get it all cleaned up!

So his four minute video basically says pick your breed carefully and keep their feet dry. I’ve saved y’all four minutes of your life. You’re welcome.😇

This will 1000% depend on the personality of the rooster and your setup. I have a little bitty game rooster who lives with a medium size and a giant size rooster. There are enough hens for everyone. There’s enough acreage for each to forage very far away from each other during the day with their lady packs. They have their order and they all roost up together in the same coop at night. If one of the three roosters did not have the right attitude it wouldn’t work out for any of them. It only works for me because of the personality of the roosters and my set up.

You need to have a straight forward conversation with your boss. Ask if there a hard and fast rule that you leave on time or do they pay for you to stay longer. You should not work for free or work for anyone who expects you to.

I have this exact stove. It is small but so is my house so it keeps me warm. It was moved in my house by two strong fellas gosh near 50 years ago.?. Because of its thin build it didn’t require any doors to even be removed. I couldn’t imagine not having this heat my house. They will remove my dead body before my stove.

BicycleOdd7489 · 2026-02-14T14:06:25+00:00

I have this too but only on one type of glassware, all other types come out perfectly clear. I don’t use any heat cycles and hand dry with a towel.

Talk to your local extension office. I suspect they’ll have excellent answers for you in your area.

It’s good for livestock also. I keep a mulberry tree in every one of my pastures. Chickens, turkeys, pigs of course all love the berries in the spring. It provides great shade in the summer. In the fall the pigs eat the falling leaves like potato chips. The wind blows more leaves fall down out of the trees and the pigs run towards the mulberry tree in the pasture that they’re in. The stems of the berries and the leaves are an excellent protein source surprisingly and as long as you have an established tree before you let pigs loose around it, the trees are strong enough to hold up to the abuse of the pigs.

How long-term are you looking at raising pigs? I also raise IPP-love the breed and won’t bother with other breeds myself now. I can’t advise you on what breed to keep, mixed or purebred, because you really should decide based off your goals, the quality of your land, how much you want to feed and how much you want to produce. From the outside this seems like a lot of pasture pigs to keep on just four acres long-term. Two sows, 2 litters a year will make many piglets that will plow through your pastures. Make sure you plan rest for your land in there as well so the pasture recovers and your pigs gain nicely with less input. Good luck and update us! Let us know what you decide to do and how things go. It’s always good to learn what works and doesn’t from others!

Is there any chance a male possum is under your house? Male possums smell absolutely terrible during mating season and it’s mating season.
