The site is freezing up, and I am seventy posts behind. Oh well! I can't see the quotes, so I will try to respond to all by memory... Which is a bit difficult due to the image in my mind.

Yes, Ur "has" me. Usually. He has all the women when he wants them! And when he doesn't, but ... Oh my!
I don't ride my own, and I won't. I have my reasons. I will not get into them. I have not even driven in ten years!
Plastic people really need decaf... Or a lobotomy.
Hello belatedly.

I would like to see some studies that back up this product and the others like it. As for upping doses, I'm just going by what's in text books vs what's on the label.

The Safeguard label has what's considered by vets and goat/sheep people to be an ineffective dose.

I would too.
I've used herbal several times according to the directions as a preventative in chickens.
I'd like to do a test with a fecal prior and after treatment but I've never had a positive. Maybe because I've used it.
I can't afford to do fecals frequently. I have a microscope I need to send in for repair so I can do my own.

Jamaican food

I'm going to get some goat meat the next time I get to Seafood City (Asian/Latin market)

I gave my oxtail soup a Jamaican twist yesterday. I wish I could find organic oxtail.

Just be careful. My vet who is the goat vet in this area says they have been way over wormed and pushes for fecals before worming to get the right one and only when necessary.

Amen. Same with giving antibiotics as soon as a chicken gets sniffles without knowing what's wrong. = superbugs

This is true with not only goats but most farm animals now, they are becoming more and more resistant to the dewormers

I know you know this but to clarify, the worms are resistant, not the livestock. That's why it's important to change anthelmintics frequently if possible.

@casportpony @chicken hawk 33 Yes, I collect samples and take them to the vet. It is inexpensive and she tells me what to do. Your suggestion for a new purchase of a good general wormer is a good one if you don't have somewhere inexpensive to take the sample.

I wish it was inexpensive for me. If I can get a vet to do it I have to drive almost and hour each way. There's hundreds of vets around me but they're all pet vets.

We're incubating our first eggs right now. Currently on day 4. We purchased Lavender Orpington and Russian Orloff hatching eggs from a local breeder. We also have four Black Copper Marans which she included at no charge since the rooster was injured and separated the week before there's no guarantee they're fertile. We also got half a dozen mixed Barred Rock, Easter Egger, Australorp from my father in law, Two dozen total in the incubator.

Sounds like a fun bunch to incubate.
