Morning Abi

Oh, going is a good idea, i'm all for socialization for kids and making new friends ;)  I just don't want him to think he'll get cheap adult birds or con his poor mom into spending lots of money lol haha

I'm surprised with his interest in his birds, he hasn't signed up for 4h himself, I believe it's 20/yr for membership, and the meetings are only 1x a month, plus the volunteer work.
true true
 
Mornin Peter!  Whatcha got planned this lovely day?    Wait did you tell me yesterday? :oops:


Well for now I'm headed to the kitchen for my second cup. Then get out there and do something not sure what yet. Nothing's broken that I know of so maybe clean up the barn.

Just had an air raid siren go off in town. Weird. Guess they are just making sure it works.

What is permethrin?

Permethrin is an insecticide in the pyrethroid family. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemicals that act like natural extracts from the chrysanthemum flower. Permethrin is used in a number of ways to control insects. Products containing permethrin may be used in public health mosquito control programs. They may be used on food and feed crops, on ornamental lawns, on livestock and pets, in structures and buildings, and on clothing. Permethrin may also be used in places where food is handled, such as restaurants. Permethrin was first registered with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) in 1979, and was re-registered in 2006.


What are some products that contain permethrin?


Products containing permethrin may be liquids, powders, dusts, aerosol solutions, sprays, and treated clothing. Permethrin is used in cattle ear tags and flea collars, or in spot-on treatments for dogs. There are currently more than 1400 registered products containing permethrin. Some products are used to treat scabies and head lice on people. These products are drugs and are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Always follow label instructions and take steps to avoid exposure. If any exposures occur, be sure to follow the First Aid instructions on the product label carefully. For additional treatment advice, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222. If you wish to discuss a pesticide problem, please call 1-800-858-7378.

How does permethrin work?

Permethrin can affect insects if they eat it or touch it. Permethrin affects the nervous system in insects, causing muscle spasms, paralysis and death. Permethrin is more toxic to insects than it is to people and dogs. This is because insects can't break it down as quickly as people and dogs. Cats are more sensitive to permethrin than dogs or people because it takes their bodies a long time to break it down.

Quote: It should be what the local community would support. If people want to expand to "Fancy Breeds" chicken and enough interest they should be able to start a club. You could talk to the county agent or someone at the university that supports 4-H in Texas. Not certain how I forgot about dogs since my vet had asked me if I would be interested in being the advisor for the dogs when the current person retired from doing it.
Alot of dual purpose chicken ARE WONDERFUL and look fancy!

"Fancy" is their (4-H) term, not mine.
