We LOVE the StL zoo!! Haven't been in years, but it used to be a main stop. DH is from Iowa but his best friend settled in StL. It was our "halfway" point before kids. Now we try to break it up more evenly.

The brewery, science center, zoo, and a cards games was a yearly thing for us until DD started school.

Quote: Maybe next season I will try to ensure that my eggs have ideal hatching conditions and then maybe I'll be hands off like you, but right now, each chick that dies in an egg is $25, so I will do my best to get as much money out of them as I can.

You aren't cruel, and I understand why you do what you do.

anyone hungry?

are you cooking, cause i'm starving!!!

I didn't see it.


You can use flavored if you want. It should still have the same cultures. It takes just a tiny bit.

I raised a Monarch caterpillar in a jar when I was a kid. It suspended its cocoon from the lid. When it emerged and the wings expanded there wasn't enough room and the wings dried in a rolled condition so it couldn't fly. It broke my heart. I never raised a caterpillar in a jar again.
We have two nice butterfly houses in St. L. One is at the zoo. I went to several butterfly farms in Costa Rica. One of them raises butterflies for replenishing wild stocks in Africa and Asia.

Speaking of the St. Louis Zoo. It was just given the title of the #1 free attraction in the nation by USA Today.
http://www.bizjournals.com/stlouis/...ay-saint-louis-zoo-is-nation-s-best-free.html
With 3.2 million visitors a year, it has offered free admission since it was founded in 1910. It is in the nation's largest urban park, Forest Park, site of the 1904 World's Fair and contains the enormous outdoor flight cage that was featured at the fair. The city of St. Louis bought the cage from the World's Fair for $3,500 (without the birds) and built the zoo around it.




Was it you that asked about rules for export?
Export to another state or international?
For the US there really aren't rules for export. The jurisdiction receiving the birds is the one that has the concern.

you didnt want to see it, he quoted the first 2 posts

thanks

i think her caterpillars were tent caterpillars (so i woulda squished them anyway) but yes i agree, no jars
i have never been to a zoo, hopefully someday i can

yes, export from state but staying within the lower 48

It's a treasure.
The brewery tour along with the Clydesdale stables is amazing. That's their first but smallest brewery.

Next time you come, another must see is the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Founded in 1859 by Henry Shaw, it's 79 acres include a 14 acre Japanese strolling garden surrounding the lake which is the finest Japanese garden outside of Japan.

@ChickenCanoeTell me about it I did the barbed wire by myself and that was a nightmare. This going over the top is working. Stretching the field fence with a come along and a truck is just too awkward and difficult.

I could explain why there is horizontal chicken wire, but it would be confusing. This is the male, and if you look close, you can see the egg.
