Myriad definition, a very great or indefinitely great number of persons or things.
Damn I really wanted to use myriad but as it was I only had two pressing problems that needed to be solved in the chook pen so scratch (pun intended) myriad. Both problems, though, were solved with the purchase of a chook feeder thingy which (as you can see in the photo) cost me the princely sum of twenty three dollars and eighty cents and should pay for itself in no time flat.
The first problem was the wastage of food. This occured when I would put their food in the piece of guttering you can see in the photo. The problem was that their feed contained molassis soaked sunflower seeds that they went absolutley mad for and in the ensuing rush to get as many sunny seeds as possible they managed to spread the rest of their food all over the place. This was making it easy for regular birds to help themselvs to a feast and costing me a bucket of extra food a week in the process. Since using the feeder I have reduced my feed usage by about half.
My second problem was that now that I am driving day shift in the cab I don't have the spare time to just wander up and feed them any ol' time I like so I needed a semi automatic way of feeding them and now all I need to do is load up the chook feeder with food and there good for three or four days. (Note to self. Must fill chook feeder tomorrow)
So there you have it. Not quite a myriad but a good result none the less.
Cheers

We would like to get a chook feeder that only the chooks can use. A lot of our food goes to feed the friendly pigeons and sparrows that invite themselves along for a free feed. Then the next day they invite all their friends along!
Hubby is in the process of trying to come up with something so we dont go through so much wheat.
Your chooks are definitely spoilt with molassis flavoured sunflower seeds YUM!
Hi Tania, them birds sure eat their fair share. The feeder seems to have slowed them down but I suspect it won't be long beford they work it out.
As for the sunny seeds, I'm sure they'd run through a field of foxes to get to them.
Cheers

We have that type of feeder and it works really well for us. We both work 5 days so had to have a feeder that only needs filling once or twice a week. The pigeons will discover it and come and pinch some though.
Hi Missy, yes it's great to fill it up an let them look after themselves and yes I don't think it will take the birds long but it's not as easy as once was.
From gutter chooks to a-la-carte.
Fancy!
I needed to think a bit about the gutter link yes but I get it.
With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or
copyright violation? My site has a lot of
unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being stolen? I'd genuinely appreciate
it.

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
a few months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?

Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Right now it sounds like BlogEngine is the top blogging platform available right now.
(from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that
