Thanks for posting that info about the avian vets here. That is good to know. I had a good vet for my birds before I moved out here. Luckily I haven't had any issues with my parrots since moving but good to know who is out there just in case. I have had to handle chicken issues myself...

You could place an ad on the Jax Craigslist under farm and garden....
I wasn't able to make it this time either. Dh and I have been sick for the last few days. My dd got a bad cold and then everyone else got it lol. Hope everyone else had fun.

I hope I can go to this one. I have been really busy and still trying to get my garden going in our new place etc lol. I want a couple ducklings and maybe a few guinea keets
I need to check oout that feed mill!
I went there about a month ago looking for baby chicks but ended up buying 4 of the cutest bunnies from a nice lady. I will have to check back there again to see what else I can get away with buying
