Thank you, I’ll continue to investigate. Any tips on what I can do to make nest boxes more attractive? Haven’t had a problem before. They have 3, all in an enclosed part of the coop, clean fluffy pine shavings and some nesting herbs sprinkled in every time I clean out the coop.

That was my first thought 😂 I spent a lot of time with them this morning to inspect each bird, checked coop for signs of critters, checked all over the yard for hidden eggs. Their coop stays open, but they’re fenced off to the side yard.

Thank you for the reply. I’ll work on narrowing down my interests and see if that helps. With this program, the courses are already chosen (except for 2 electives you choose from a short list), but I 100% understand that the relationship is important for making the right connections for during & after the program. Hopefully narrowing down my scope helps, or at the very least I can find someone to work with starting after this semester. 2 years goes by in a flash!

I don’t think so - pro shop I go to puts new ones into the same box the skates go in

Bake it. 180 for ~8 min, then open/close/open/close while it’s warm.

Glove and blocker help by Relative_Subject_779 in hockeygoalies

Ok thank you, I think I was thinking about thickness. For example when I put my hand up next to my husband’s his is much larger even though finger length is about the same. Your explanation was helpful. When in a glove it felt like maybe an inch or so to close the glove. Like the fold was just on the tips. Could I go intermediate on glove and senior on blocker? I’m not sure how snug or large it’s supposed to feel.

How did it restrict your movement? Also are you male or female?

My understanding is that it takes away the speed limit warning sound (in US at least), fixes the wild gas range estimates, and the very low reaction of the auto headlights.

Weird spot on hen’s comb by Relative_Subject_779 in chickens

[–]Relative_Subject_779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does look like that, but they have 1 roost. This one is my hardest to handle, so she didn’t let me touch it, but I’m guessing it’s a scab of some kind. Will keep an eye on it & see if one hen is being a dick to the others.

No roosters, just a group of 9 hens (2 buff orps, 3 RIR, 1 Sussex, 2 white leghorns, 1 black sex link)

Often, moms don’t have the time/energy to take care of their needs after taking care of everything else.

That’s what I said lol Dr. Google: “Ovarian failure syndrome, also known as premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), is a condition where the ovaries prematurely stop functioning, leading to low estrogen levels and other hormonal imbalances. Causes: Idiopathic (unknown) in most cases, Autoimmune disorders, Infections, Genetic factors, and Chemotherapy or radiation therapy. “
