BYC Café

Drag arse tired and sore - that would just about describe me. Tomorrow I will do nothing but play. Brewed a fresh pot of coffee because I was seriously caffeine deprived. Have at it friends.

You probably know that rebrascora has a flock with Mareks. I find her very approachable and she knows a lot about the disease. It might be worth having a chat.
I'll look forward to your article.

Edit, I see rebrascora has already been suggested.

Thanks Shad. I sent her a PM to see if she'd mind answering a few questions. I hate just reaching out to people I don't know but she seems pretty nice in the posts I've come upon.

I think she's kind hearted and knowledgeable and that's a better start than many.

Awww they are all so cute!!

I think introduced properly it can go well.



Aw yeah that’s how Gator was!! Lol he tolerated, even liked, some dogs, but others he hated lol he was more a people dog. Huge cuddle bug.

And thanks! They definitely are. They are technically my brother’s and his fiancé’s dogs though but I walk them and play/hang out/whatever twice a week usually but sometimes more or less and also dog sit for them. And I talk about them a lot as if they are my own LOL love my fur niece and fur nephew.

They adopted Libby first in February of last year at 12 weeks old and then they got Frank in September and I think he was around 16 weeks old so they’re similar ages but Libby is a little bit older. She turned a year old I think November or December and Frank they think his birthday is early June so he’s around a year old now. He just got neutered today.

So cute!

Awe, great pictures! You take pictures of them like I take pictures of mine One is never enough!

Thank you GAC . I'm going to focus on giving the chicks the best possible chances I can and hope they're tough enough to beat this nasty bug! They hatched from eggs from a breeder I respect and have purchased pullets from that were quite healthy so I think they have a fighting chance

I'm in contact with a guy in Finland. He's trying to save/repopulate a particular land race breed of chicken there. He has a multicoop keeping system on a larger scale than mine; 9 coops if my memory serves me. The last email I had from him he was very down. He lost some coops in bad weather and couldn't afford to replace them. Apparently he got a grant from his local authority to not only replace the coops but increase his flock size.

Thank you! I need a cup to get me through the rest of the day.

That's incredible. I had no idea there were organizations that would support such a thing. It's good to know.

Aw thank you!! And yessss bad habit! Lol I take soooo many pictures of the pets. my entire Dropbox is literally mostly pet pictures and concert pictures. Probably got thousands of pictures

Probably hundreds of just Gator alone

Then Luna (my cat), the chickens, the new chicks, my goldfish even (4 of them), the horses when I used to horseback ride (need to start that again), random wildlife, etc.

And the screenshots. God. So many screenshots and memes

I have a problem...
