I generally avoid internet communities I guess you could say. Always see it bring out the worst in people. Lots seem to think its a free pass at saying anything no matter how hurtful. I'm kind of a private person I guess. Hope its still ok if I hang around a bit :)
Hi JJ :) wouldn't mind a few local contacts. Just always find anonymity easier ;) I've felt very overwhelmed and intimidated by all this but I'm dealing.
I've only ever encountered one weasel in all my years. Guess I'm lucky. It did kill a hen but my dogs scared it into a woodpile. DH tore it...
I'll deal with them how I deal with them when I deal with them lol. And they don't all have names ;) the ones that do will die here and not by my hands unless necessary. Same as my sheep. Nothing wrong with loving my animals :) my birds leave my property all the time, dang little rule breakers...

I'm not alone hallelujah! Lol. I can't see the sense in turning a $5 bird into anything more. Its not fair to anyone. I always enjoyed selling at fair price and had regulars who looked for me because of it. Feel sad for them especially. I took such joy in all of this. Now its over. Truly sad day.
Hi all, I have a question I'm hoping I can get some help with. How does one go about getting the testing done to sell at swaps? The swap I always went to never required it but now they've moved it too far away for me to go to. Next closest requires paperwork. I don't even know what that truly...
