It's either that or throw the dog food out. I'm not sure if there is anything in there that would harm them, and they'd still have their regular laying feed.

I am a first year gardener and can't find this info online! I hope someone can help me!

The other hens with her lay eggs with nice thick shells. Her first egg yesterday had a thin shell, and today there was NO shell. Is this something that will correct itself with time, or does she have some sort of congenital abnormality?

I have 8 that are 22 weeks old, and only 3 of them are laying. I thought 20 weeks was when they'd start.

They have been regularly watered and fertilized and have lots of sun. The pepper walls are also quite thin.

It seems like I should, but I've looked at 3 recipes, and none of them mention this.

I've harvested peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, onions, potatoes. What should I put in their place to not waste the rest of the summer? We live in a hot climate, so still have LOTS of growing time left, but it is 90 degrees most days here. I am a first year gardener so need help on this!

I left them on the vine till the shells were pale and dry and crispy. I took them off the vine this morning. Do I need to do any additional drying, or it is okay to shell them now?

It seems that it does, so I wonder if other healthy things could be added to the water to make it help the cough more.

I have a cold but have bad reactions to decongestants. Surely there is something I can do.

Out of my 10 pullets, 3 have combs & wattles that are growing. The oldest chick, who is 2 wks older than the others, has just started weak crowing and aggressive behavior towards the others, esp the 2 with the growing combs. I thought the crowing would start at 5-6 wks of age, and my husband read online that in the absence of a rooster, often the dominant hen will start fake crowing and will be bossy. Any opinions here?

I have Russet potatoes planted in containers, and one plant is near/touching a tomato plant, and there is a small tomato growing on the potato plant. I can't find anything online that would indicate that these two things can cross-pollinate.

He had one baby aspirin before the shots, 9 hrs ago, and one about 4 hrs ago. He won't eat and is obviously uncomfortable. He is a year and a half old, and was sore last year when he got his shots, but the baby aspirin took care of it.

...even with grow lights. We live in the south and for the next week the highs are in the mid-70's. Would it be okay for me to put my seedlings outside in the afternoon?

Was it fun? Was it too hard? Did you tire of it quickly? Did the mat hold up to repeated play?

This is on a teenager neighbor who has not been immunized against ANYTHING, but there are no outbreaks of anything in our area. His jaw is also slightly swollen and sore. His mom cannot find any explanation online.

My puppy is a 7 mo 5 lb Yorkie, and the operation was Tuesday. I brought him home on Wednesday and he seemed fine, but starting yesterday evening he began wetting in the house and his cage, and has continued that this morning. The incision site looks fine. He is perky and does not seem to be in pain - I just keep finding PUDDLES.

The screws that go through the shutters go into holes drilled in brick, but over the years have gotten so loose they just fall out. It seems like there should be some adhesive that I can just put in the holes and stick the screws in, but I would like the name of something specific before I head for the store - can you help?
