I have always liked your” Fat Bird “ Shad, I think she’s beautiful.
Flight time means, paid runway use. It adds up, when I take the Cessna out as much as I have been lately. (Seems nothing comes cheap anymore)
They are on day 2 of amprolium. Bok is still drinking and will eat a little but as long as she is drinking now I’m happy.I'm a little late, but I agree with this. Coccidiosis is the first thing I would treat for, her symptoms sound like what I've gone through with some from my flock. It's also very easy to treat for. I hope she improves soon!
I’m so glad she has you, Shad
I deleted my complete account. It's the nastiest place on the web imo. Hugs for you.The long and short of it, the main forum is completely unmoderated. Unless you directly address one of the two admins publicly, about one of their poststhere have even been some indirect threats on there before. It can get very nasty, very fast. I mostly am there just for the “free stuff” and community info posts (like our whole island is eligible for free Covid Vaccines at the rec center in just two weeks!) but occasionally something gets out of hand and I stick my nose in. Politely, respectfully, and occasionally reporting posts directly to FBook... but unless there’s a direct threat and a named individual as a target it’s basically a free for all.
A rabid nature lover is moving here (with pet bunnies), and was flooding the forum with random environmental propaganda, including a “Barred owls are so awesome” post (all thoroughly researched on you tube and Wikipedia, or environmental activist sites). I merely posted a polite reminder that they are an invasive species which is devastating the local endangered owls and suggested that people wanting to provide “owl houses” etc focus on native species instead. That was attack post #1, which went on for pages and pages of name calling etc, and I should have just gotten off then... some people just can’t have a reasonable discussion, and I can be a bit of a slow learner or just stubborn myself at times.
My biggest mistake though, was a post about Arduinna. Just telling everyone that I walk her between here and there, always leashed in public, and you may see us. I may tie her up to “hound hill” (she loves the dog house there) in front of the store, if I need to run in for milk etc, and you might see/hear her in our truck. We are working on her separation anxiety being an orphan. Especially for the returning Summer residents, Visiting tourists, and people who have high prey drive dogs. Because a goat on a leash isn’t generally something dog owners run into, I thought a heads up could avoid any “unfortunate” dog interactions (I will step in front of an attacking dog, I’ve done it before with both my niece and cats) We are also socializing her to dogs whenever the opportunity arises. I plan on training her to a cart as well (she’s going to be a working goat, as well as a pampered pet!).
Almost everyone loved my post, the pictures of her, etc. One lovely lady who has never met me, and lives on the other side of the island, decided to make an uninformed post saying it’s illegal to take in Feral goats, (it’s not, I checked federal and provincial regulations!) they can’t be “re-herded” with the “wild” ones, and it’s “illegal to keep one,” so I will be “reported to bylaw officers” like another goat owner. We, however are fully zoned agricultural, and land owners, so she can go.... I had learned from the owl post though, and I immediately deleted my response, then everything else on all public forums, and made Andrew do the same regarding her.
Ironically, (though “that thing” isn’t “allowed” at the farm proper) I finally found something the in-laws will support me on. She’s legal, and that person is wrong. Andrew’s comment was, “well, if your last name was Campbell online, she would never have posted that”. We aren’t legally married, (that wasn’t some weird proposal or dig at it on his part, either) and I wouldn’t change my surname to that even if we were! Turns out you can fully block individuals on the Face Book... it’s my newest coping method (for a**h***s and in-laws alike!)
Now I’ve got to go take some chicken tax pics!
Seabrights are a breed I want to try. They are simply gorgeous looking! Congratulations to your youngest. That's impressive. My MIL used to enter in the cake decorating & collected quite a few ribbons in her time. It's quite an achievement.Me and the family spent most of the day at the Royal Easter Show today.
Bad news I'm afraid. They were doing judging in the chicken pavilion for simply hours and had closed off most of the chickens so I couldn't get many photos.Sorry to disappoint my chicken friends.
The sebrights were super cute.

So did I long ago. Too many lies, and way too invasive to my personal life, for my taste!I deleted my complete account. It's the nastiest place on the web imo. Hugs for you.
Poor old lady. She is such a sweetie.
Good grief. People actually have time for this nonsense?The long and short of it, the main forum is completely unmoderated. Unless you directly address one of the two admins publicly, about one of their posts
