Face it. In the eyes of certain powerful people, anyone expressing a desire for self reliance, be it self defence or raising your own chickens, is a potential threat, be it physical or financial. Do you think that the major agribusinesses and grocery stores really want everyone to grow their own...
Dear Daisy; I don't know Nevada's laws, still trying to figure out Fl's. , but Metzer told me they will toe clip on request. Not a bad idea, cheaper and more humane than pinioning a wing or a tattoo. Size charts for rouens show #14, 3/4 inch Seamless metal. Too big for duckling, have to time it...

Dear MeepBeep; Go back to Mallard Possession Rule- 68A-4.0052. Go back to the FAQ. Read question 6 and the answer and you will see that nasty 50 CFR 21.13 and the banding requirements.Metzer Farms didn't know of the Fl codes, rules, etc and ship a zillion ducklings a year, I will forward this...
Dear MeepBeep; Hot off the press, from the Fl FWC- Rule 68A-4.0052- Possession and release of live mallards, Under "Mallard Possession Rule" The clarification appears under the Frequently Asked Questions tab. Question # 1, and I quote "Q.- Exactly which species of ducks does this rule cover...
I agree with your views regarding armed christians at church. There are estimated 100,000 christians murdered each year in the middle east. Google it up. Merely rounded up and slaughtered, unless you are a female, then maybe you'll be raped and sold as a sex slave. I would not be uncomfortable...
If you have the resources to fight a lengthy battle with the authority's, can I be your friend? What bothers me the most is since they are all domesticus, why do the regs keep pointing to exceptions for the peking? The leo's in my area consistently have an I.Q. that's below room temp but the...
Thank you for the response. I'm not trying to be contentious, but when it comes to dealing with the bureaucracy, best to err on the side of caution. It all depends on the interpretation of the law by the investigator. Don't forget that these agencies have legal depts. whose sole purpose is to...
I found my info on http//myfwc.com under captive reared waterfowl To acquire and possess waterfowl, F.S.372.16 requires you to have a game farm permit($50.00), then look at 50 CFR 21.13 & 50 CFR 21.14 into proper marking of said waterfowl and don't forget your copy of Form 3-186, notice of...
Dear Daisygirlfp; I've just had a similar experience here in Florida. I won't mention the name of the dealer, but it turns out they were unwittingly breaking the laws, both federal and state. I purchased 13 rouens and 6 khaki campbells, none of which had been marked or banded. Now I'm faced...
Mr Lsky; your opinion does matter, this is America: I think. If gun owners seem to be a bit touchy; it's because every time there is a shooting, the law abiding gun owner find themselves on the defensive.Here in Florida you are required to register your duck, (unless it's a peking i.e. "CHINESE"...
Way back in 83, in a place called Tampa, Fl, a wack job named Bill Ferry , walked into a Winn Dixie grocery store and tossed a bucket of gas on people standing in a checkout line, then a lit book of matches. Killed 5, maimed 13. Last I heard, he still lives in prison, doing 5 life sentences. No...
