Well, it appears one of my posts was removed for being "political". Is that because I said the govt is bumbling idiots not evil genuis? Only remotely political thing I remember saying. That's absurd. I'm out of this area of BYC, I'll stick with impersonal bs in the other forums. Enjoy it...

There are some people who should be placed in one of these regardless of the outcome of this situation! :D :D :D

It actually is, indirectly. If we all die then the rich people lose everything too :D If things plunge into complete anarchy they lose too. If they thought they could afford the loss of 20% of us, they wouldn't think twice about letting the virus run its' course. Problem is, I'm not sure they...

Meeeeeeeeee too! Aaaaaaaaaaaamen. It's not been easy at times. Unfortunately I also have several other major stress points I cannot seem to resolve which add to all of this. I do not know where I would be without my animals. I remember that, spend time with them, and thank them daily. Even if...

That is my understanding as well. The other post said "vaccinations", I read that as saying all vaccinations, which is why I asked for links or info.

If you call a sand or gravel place and ask for construction sand, I think, you should get the right stuff. What you want is not gravel but definitely not as fine as play or beach sand.

I have feathered legged cuckoos. :) For the SOP, you should start reading here: https://maranschickenclubusa.com/ and here: https://www.thehappychickencoop.com/black-copper-marans/

Are you sure about this? Could you please provide links or information to support this? IIRC, medicated feed helps suppress coccidosis so the chicks can become immune to it but would have no impact on any other disease/sickness/bacteria/etc. At least that's what I've read. I did not get any...

Oh. My. God. Can you say PERFECT typecasting?!?!?! https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/nicolas-cage-tiger-king-joe-exotic-perfect-combination-man-actor-ncna1200436 Nicolas Cage as Joe Exotic!!!!

It worked extremely well for me when I had a small enclosed run (~2'x5') filled with ~4" of sand. I would use a kitty litter scoop once a week or two and clean it out. The once per year to 1.5 years I would change the entire thing out and replace the sand. I loved it. I've moved on from that...

Lowes here has Paver Sand which does not contain crystalline silica. Home depot does not. You might want to check what brand(s) your local stores carry and check the ingredients online :) Here is what I have used: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Aspen-Mountain-0-5-cu-ft-Tan-Paver-Base-Sand/3726717

I completely agree! Many variables. Here they shut the large meat processor (JBS Plant) for only a week, I expect minimal disruption from such short closures. I have held off getting a couple of pigs for the exact reason you state. I don't want to risk having to slaughter it myself, which I...

No, they do not need any light at night.

True, your point is valid given that example. That's why I say it appears localized. In the current situation, I think a majority of perceived shortages are caused by localized supply chain interruptions, not actual supply shortages. The supply is still there, stockpiles will get depleted...

I am not educated enough in bird vision to answer this :) I use black because it's least expensive and readily available. I started with some inexpensive Bird-X from Ace Hardware (~$20 for 14' x 45') and it works well but has tiny openings and does tear pretty easily, since it's such a tight...

One day I watched a hawk follow a rabbit around a tree, about 18 inches off the ground, completely circled the tree, and used such subtle movements that it appeared to not flap its' wings once. They are extremely versatile and agile, they can fold their wings in and drop in and out of large...

Disgusting We need a list of these companies so we can avoid them moving forward. Alongside piece of crap, shady, companies like Amazon.

I LOVE my white crested polish! She's the prima donna of the flock for sure. I thought about just having a flock of them!

In my area of Colorado (Denver area), it's a completely different story in based on what I see. Places are open and have plenty. TP, paper towels, canned good, meat, chicken, pork, it's all in the store. Feed stores have chicks, turkeys, and ducks. Plenty of feed and supplies too. There are no...

I'm a 5.. Either 3 or 6...
