Hi everyone - Sally, Oz all the regulars and new regulars :) I have missed you. I haven't kept up with BYC except for my one sad thread about my sick birds. Got hubby through all the surgeries, chemo and radiation. Finally faced the music and culled the last 70 survivors of my MG positive flock. Lost both my cats to predators this year. And now hubby's PET scan comes back with 2 new growth areas. He gets 2 more biopsies next week to see if the cancer is indeed back already after only a 2 1/2 month reprieve. So yeah, life has been sucking and not really worth talking about this year. Its been really hard on my boys, 3 and 8. The only bright spot right now is that I am looking forward to April. I ordered 25 straight run BBS Ameraucana from Whitmore Farms (Will tests for MG). They are due around April. It is so sad and quiet here without my chickens.... In the meantime I take all my stress out on my coop rebuild. Gutting, burning, bleaching and rebuilding.

 You really have had a rough time @familypendragon


I cant imagine your stress levels. My thoughts and hopes are with you.

Are you planning to vaccinate against MG?

Thanks so much. No, I want an MG negative flock. I am going to see about learning to do the blood draws and figuring out how to send in my own samples so I can test on a regular basis. I want MG as far from my flock as possible.
 
Wow thanks so much for all the information! That must be so helpful to so many people including me, aka " chicken addict".
I bought three batches of eggs from eBay last week. one arrived 2 days later... 3 out of 12 eggs broken, one hasn't arrived and I think going ground which from what you say can be better .....and one is "delayed" in shipping
