There has been a diagnosed case in Louisiana. But it most likely was close to Texas. As I said they suspect that a lot of cases go undiagnosed. They are also known as love bugs. If they get on you they bit.
this is very important, I just learn about this. I know I have been bitten over the years. I kill them because I know they bit and it hurts. Now I have greater reason to. The USA has had a number of cases of this parasite. It is believed there is a lot of un diagnosed cases. South &...

It is called research. There are a lot of books out there, even books that will point out differences of US and Britsh standards. You can learn a lot by books. Then there is talking to others, chicken fanciers. Learn who are the true authority on chickens, what breeds they are working with...
Standard rule, like bases are mixed. 2 basic ones, oil and latex. A few places will mix more like types such as interior and exterior & hot colors and cool colors.
I have been reading more and more articles on this subject. It is becoming alarming, instead of helping breeds BYC movement is degrading the breads. More and more sub-standard chickens are showing up at chicken shows, were they should not even be entered let alone exhibited. I do not object...
