INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[Chaos18]

Drinking can be a real problem, since we have two hands but only one mouth.

Ya gotta multitask whites. One hand for the beer and the other for BYC.

That would be way too much fun!
I can't imagine hundreds of eggs hatching, all at once in these HUGE incubators. Tons and tons of fluffy chicky babies everywhere, and DUCKZ!!!!

Did I mention the ducks?
...

And the ducks?

Bubbles my dear, you have a one-track mind, and it's derailed!

Dr. Geezer’s Clinic:

An old doctor became very bored in retirement and decided to re-open his medical clinic. He put

a sign up outside that said: "Dr. Geezer's Clinic. Get your treatment for $500, if not cured, get back

$1,000."

Doctor "Young," who was positive that this old geezer didn't know beans about medicine, thought this would be a great

opportunity to get $1,000. So he went to Dr. Geezer's clinic.

Dr. Young: "Dr. Geezer, I have lost all taste in my mouth. Can you please help me?

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in Dr. Young's mouth."

Dr. Young: Aaagh !! -- "This is Gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."

Dr. Young gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days figuring to recover his money.

Dr. Young: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."

Dr. Geezer: "Nurse, please bring medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."

Dr. Young: "Oh, no you don't, -- that is gasoline!"

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."

Dr. Young (after having lost $1000) leaves angrily and comes back after several more days.

Dr. Young: "My eyesight has become weak --- I can hardly see anything!!!!

Dr. Geezer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for that so, here's your $1000 back." (giving him a $10 bill)

Dr. Young: "But this is only $10!

Dr. Geezer: "Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $500."


Moral of story -- Just because you're "Young" doesn't mean that you can outsmart an "old Geezer"

Remember: Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to tick us off.

Bingo!!

I did start one, but it sort of lost momentum.

For tapes you need something with praziquantel. Many people have use Zimectrin Gold or EquiMax. Pretty sure the praziquantel dose needed for chicken tapes is 10 mg/kg, so a 5 pound chicken needs 22.72 mg of praziquantel.

Zimectrin Gold dose for a five pound bird = 5 / 2.2 x 10 / 77.5 = 0.3 ml
EquiMAX dose for a five pound bird = 5 / 2.2 x 10 / 140.3 = 0.16 ml

Bang for the buck, EquiMAX is what I would pick. Note that the amount of ivermectin in either paste is more than they should be given, but many people on BYC give it without any ill effects.

I think most OTC meds, for animals and humans, is probably under-dosed, 'cause the manufactures figure the consumer is going to go the "more is better" route

Funnier the first time or second time? Howdy Sir Ur.

Better than a dummy pants.

Very true

For tapes your need praziquantel, which is in Zimectrin Gold and EquiMAX. Both of those also have ivermectin. Neither drug is approved for laying hens.

Did they look like these?

Good Luck!

Yep. Coughing, or choking. I like when people choke from laughing a lotta more better!

hmmmm

Things are looking up in the mower wars!
Just took it down the road about 20 miles to an auto mechanic who also works on mowers. Was referred by another shop that has a backlog as big as the dealer I've been waiting for. This guy's supposed to be pretty sharp @ fixing electrical problems. We'll see.

Woohoo!!!

not a problem

That's where the term '2 fisted drinker' comes from.

I split my one good hive 2 weeks ago hoping to make another and keep the original from swarming. It swarmed today. I just set up a swarm trap. Now I'm trying to find my tallest ladder and try to recapture it. It's up about 20 feet or more. The last time I caught one of my swarms, I had a bucket truck. It was up about 35' over a coop. There was no way I'd have gotten it with ladders.

I once saw a video of someone using a 12 gauge to drop a swarm out of a tree. It dropped right in the bucket below.

She's high octane. Takes after her dad.
She used to be in semi-pro dance troupes in Chicago, St. Louis and performed all over Illinois. The annual Dancing in the Streets Festival in the Arts District of St. L. had a picture of her performing on every light post in that part of town to publicize the event. The same picture was up 3 years running. It was also in most of the bus stop shelters all over town.

Dropping a swarm with a 12 gauge would be pretty impressive.

Quote: Yes, and to land it in the bucket below even more so.
