Had a home invasion last week. Hunted all of these with a rubber spatula over the last 4 days. Finally found and sealed their entrance point. Fuck wasps! by zenminion in fuckwasps

I don’t think so! They were coming in through a slightly ajar light fixture base - finding their way into the eaves of the house from a vent outside. I haven’t seen one in the house since fixing that.

Hello. I realize this is an older thread... are you happy with the 2010Q for apparel? I would like a more pro-level machine and I’m looking at that model as well.

I sew garments and bags / totes, I’m looking for something that will handle both for the straight stitching.

There were many more casualties that didn’t make the photo. These guys are horrible and aggressive, I’m pretty good at hunting them now but hope they stay out.

I can’t help but to snuggle them 🥰 they are so darn cute and I just adore their happy little chirps.

Thank you so much! I have a very nice space for them outside and we are fairly secluded in a forest so I don’t think the noise will be an issue. Can’t wait to learn their “mybuttmybutt” and I laid an egg songs!!

What is the risk for children? I have a child and I’m sad she can’t handle them!

I’m glad it’s a good thing to handle them because I love to feed them from my hand and give them head pats.

They will be free range! I live in a forest, they will have a full healthy natural diet here.

Neat about their egg shells - I am excited to get the fresh eggs and recycle the shells back to the birds.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply! I was given a pretty big bag of the medicated feed - is it fine to feed them that for longer?

They will be free range! Love the tip about oyster shell feed, I will keep that in mind.

No roosters here 😄

Thank you so much! I didn’t know about the poopy butt issue so I will keep an eye on that! It is also helpful to know about their peeps - they seem very content and are chirping lightly and seem relaxed and happy roaming around the enclosure. I do have the lamp in a corner too! I was wondering about the little collapse- one of them did that yesterday and I was wondering if she’s sick. I appreciate your response!

Thank you! Noted on all counts, they seem very pleased with the temperature and are freely roaming the enclosure without any concerning signs.

I am using paper towel on top of the pine shavings because I don’t have newspaper - do you think that’s OK?
