Comment on Tattoos While Breastfeeding by sam

Just wanna say I have a 6 month old and i’ve been very anxious to get a tattoo for a while now and I started her on solids a couple weeks ago, and I only breastfeed her once, or twice a day now. Would it be safe if I would get a tattoo? Just wondering on your thoughts…

yea! i read about this not long ago and it is frightening how powerless our government wants canadians to be.
‘no farms, no food’

Comment on What Not to Eat by Sheila Mayberry

Awsome article. I have been converting myself. I have raised chickens for the last 2 years. Living in the city and working full time gets into the ways of my plans but I am getting there. Faster now that my daughter is pregnant. She plans on raising a totally organic baby. She is going to breastfeed then switch the baby to raw goats milk and make her own baby food. I get upset that people are so misinformed about food. You say raw milk and everyone thinks OMG you are killing yourself. REALLY??? What do they think people did hundreds of years ago. I had one girl tell me she wouldnt eat my eggs cause they came out of a chickens butt. People are so removed from food that its insane. So keep you blog going, keep telling it like it is and maybe people will start to listen to we the people instead of we the government.

Have you heard of jackets for ex battery hens?

Apparently when they are warm and sung they are a little less mental and a bit more chicken-y. Its a pretty good website for anyone dealing with post industrial farm hens too.

Daniel – Craig is an expert in creating… drums or chicken coops, world class all the way!

Brenda – some of them are yes. There are also a couple of my older hens, and some newer hens from a nice free range operation. The rescued hens are very happy themselves. They are not very good however about not sleeping in their nest boxes (when life was a box, I would imagine it’s where they feel ultimately comfortable, even though it was horrifying). So they crap all in their nest boxes, which is a daily battle for cleanliness. They don’t know how to fly like everyone else, so they’re not roosting where they should be. They have gotten over their urge to lay their eggs on the floor and sort of bury them, which was a TRUE pain in my rear.

So they are happy. Am I happy? A little less so. But they have finally learned how to use the ramp to get into their coop, and are making progress. They are all slowly getting feathers again. The most damaged still have pretty bare necks, but they are healing I am glad to report.

Heidi – you will LOVE the catalogue!

Are these the same chickens that you rescued? If so, they look great. Please give us an update.
