Yeah but I wasn’t sure if they had restrictions or whatever haha but they just called. Gonna go get them right now.

What are you going to do with the Cockerels? Or did you get all females?

I just checked and I got mine from Audew.com. It was cheaper than Amazon but it might be sold out too. Idk.

It seems like people in Arizona are going nuts buying up birds & supplies. Me thinks people are preparing for the worst case scenario with this stupid virus.

I wouldn't let my family eat anything past a year for meat. I don't test things like that. I'd rather my family not get sick from bad meat or have to eat frost bitten meat which taste not so good

I look at food this way. If you question it, throw it out. It's not getting sick over. I really hate vomiting and diarrhea .

It does sound like she had a good life!!!

The credit goes to my dad. He was the one who trained her and taught us how to take good care of a horse .

Well the McClellen torture was due to my mouth opening before I thought better of it. Still seem to have that problem.
As to the run, we have 5 acres 32 miles out if town. We are zoned ranching/agricultural. Everyone out here keeps to themselves for the most part. At one point I had 14 horses here when I'm only supposed to have 10. Nobody complained. If anyone says one word about my birds then they best go talk to the guy diagonally from us, he as 100 ducks & chickens. Then there is the other guy who has turkeys, peacocks, chickens and guinea's. Those peacocks have gotten more than one neighbor thinking someone was screaming help. Then there is the donkeys in the area who serenade everyone at dawn. Add the nightly coyote kill and it's a music neighborhood.

It pays to have good neighbors!

There is 15 cases in Centralia, Illinois at the Murray Center. That is getting pretty close to where I live, which is Salem. One of my cousins work there. She is keeping safe. They put all the cases in one wing and the staff is all wearing masks and gloves and cleaning all the time. I heard that some people in South Korea who got over the virus, got it again. They are not really putting that on the news. Probably want to confirm it or don't want to panic people anymore they already are. Our Walmart is only allowing 50 people at a time in the store I think. I haven't been any where for 3 weeks other than to the gas station for lawnmower gas. My yard is looking good since I can't really do anything else.

Use common sense which I know you have plenty of. Wear a mask, don't touch your FACE!!!, and wash your hands. I have hand gel in the car. Okay sometimes I have Lysol basin, tub, and toilet cleaner wipes, LOL. . Don't let people breathe on you. Maybe change your clothes when you get home if there has been someone closer than 6 feet.

I worked with MRSA, pneumonia, rotovirus and whatknot in a Neonatal ICU for ALMOST 20 years' Out of 50 babies, there may have been 0 to 25% in isolation at one time. We knew if we needed gloves and a mask or gown gloves and a mask. It could be isolation or reverse isolation. Most times a whole room of about 8 being isolated. Most was Preemies (down to 2 pounds) up to full term. Nurses were assigned to only those rooms and may have more than one patient

So you really had to know what equipment was shared, etc. However in all those years we were Trusted to uphold the precautions without being over supervised -it was our job. And also teach visiting parents about not contaminating themselves and they were not medical people, just normal people like us.

So it makes me mad when these stupid government people (namely governors) Make us do stupid things that make no sense or do nothing, and get ticketed for actually living by the appropriate rules and stupid nonsensical rules because they consider most of us too ignorant to learn that for ourselves. You really got to think "am I too ignorant to see right from wrong contact with others"? Why are some being punished for having that knowledge by staying in their cars for a sermon. ON EASTER! It's not right to punish people for having intelligence. Like a man with a daughter playing catch in a park alone. (making an intelligent person look ignorant or like a criminal in front of their little boy or girl)?

I really do get tears from hearing these things. I am so determined to see people not being punished unfairly no matter what. Your Governors needs to know that there is Mutiny on the bounty, or the French Revolution Or ours! or their is a line they cannot cross and a civil right they can not break. 4th amendment about religion. I know I get long winded but I am furious about some things! I'm sure they don't want a war on their hands against people who have crossed the line or denied us amended 4 civil liberties .

"wearing pants" is their stupidity, not ours. Sermons in a parking lot with everyone staying in their cars is their stupidity, not ours.

It certainly does! Except the creepers next door. They like to hide behind things on their property and watch to see what we are doing now. They don't hide well so I always wave at them. They always freak out and act like they were doing something.

Same thing I did before LOL

I got 4 females and 4 straight run because they only came in straight run

Problem. I discovered that one of my Polish is pulling the feathers out of another's head and leaving a dried blood and bloody mess. She may have done that to another one as well. Is there anything yucky I can put on her head to make her less tasty?

I used Pick No More on a Polish. It helped but when it wore off they were back at her.
