    neither is mine - and as glad as I am that its not hitting anywhere near me - contra yesterday's track - I have to admit the current track is ultimately much, much more damaging to many, many, many more people than if it punched thru my corner of nowhere. Several orders of magnitude worse.

    In better news (I've not adjusted my sig), we had at least three kits born two or three weeks ago - finally spottedone above ground, most of 4" in length, eyes open. Two others shoved in together at the top of the warren - no idea if there are more. Couldn't get a good picture, apologies. or...

    All my Tampa friends, family and associates are close to our thoughts for the next few days. Anything built correctly to Miami-Dade code should be fine, which is most new construction in the State, and new windows are rated for it too - thus the lack of need for storm shutters. The sliding...

    To anyone staring Ian down, all the best to you and your flock! Today's track has bent it back away from us and towards more populated areas.

    Odd, I've always thought of Palatka as Central FL. In any event, I'm now north of half way between Tallahassee and Pensacola, spitting distance from the Alabama border. and that's as specific as i choose to be.

    Animal preotein sources among the best places to get extra Methionine. Then soy meal. a few seeds (but watch the fat content). Unlike L-lysine, Methionine isn't available over the counter in your store pharmacy aisle. Closest you can get is SAM-e. Which is **real close**. But I can't find...

    I'm in N FL - not to minimize your concerns, but the models are almost never correct, 3-4 days out. Wherever it goes, we are all getting wet. The question is only whether we are getting summer storm winds, or hurricane force? Pack your ice box, pack the voids with frozen water - you know the...

    Calcium plays almost no role in Feather creation. Methionine is the key amino for feathers, and generally "more" of everything from a protein standpoint 18-20% overall will help accelerate the molt, but higher Met content in that protein will help make the most of what's availabale.

    Truly, I understand. Wish I could be more help.

    @NatJ is correct - our friends across the pond do with much less raw protein, and a much greater addition of synthetic amino acids to make up the difference - dl-Methionine and L-Lysine. Here in the US, we generally have a much higher level of protein in an effort to meet the Met and Lys...
