I love NPR!

Phew

Sooo... Tell me about this murder music on the survey. Is that tecno? Samba? Rap?

I believe it is in reference to a Norwegian black metal band, Burzum, that I love. Everyone else here seems to think it's murder music, you know, on account that the dude is a legit murderer and all. So, there is some validity to these claims.

For 2/3 of high school I was called Dorothy, and the other 1/3 I was called Malaria or Kansas.

???? Why Malaria???

Ok.
I'm going to totally go off topic and ask a chicken question. I asked in the injuries/disease thread but never got a response.

I put ivermectin pour over on my flock last week. I know about the 14 day withdrawal. As its a topical treatment, how harmful is it if chickens ingest it? 2 of my hens are an egg today.

Well my real name is Malayna and no one can ever remember it correctly so I always get Malaria, or Melania like Trump’s wife.

You might need to worm him too.


I cut a hole in a plastic gallon milk bottle about half way up the side...just big enough for the babies to get their head and neck in to drink. Solved the water spills at night....keeping the bedding dryer.

Most definitely plan to have him dewormed! I'm actually planning to get him to the vet tomorrow or the next day and have them check him for intestinal parasites and give him a basic, precautionary dewormer no matter what.

I always had nice hamsters that miraculously died of random things. One had kidney failure and her butt became Kim Kardashian, and another trapped herself under her wheel, while another “escaped”. I also have had 3 turtles run away. Never owned a prairie dog though! Wild rabbits, baby birds (a quail was one ) anything I could rescue I have tried to keep. Guess that’s why I want to be a vet, I’m sticking to livestock now though, specifically repro in horses.

Lmao. I thought hamsters were okay, maybe a little overrated, but then I got rats. Geez, talk about blowing them out of the water in terms of personality and sweetness. Hamsters are only popular pets because they’re cute, but they’re not at all children safe IMHO. I’m picky with my animals, I don’t tolerate bitey or flighty.
Hamsters are also one of the biggest miskept animals on the pet market, but that’s a whole different rant.

Are you wanting to know if you can eat the eggs? Or if it's alright if the hens ingest ivermectin?

Not harmful, it’ll just prolong the withdrawal and potentially cause drug resistance. I wouldn’t worry about either over one egg.
