INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[kabhyper1]

I was just giving you a hard time. Nope it is purely for research and monitoring the diseases in Indiana. When you send in the paper, they send you a box with prepaid shipping. They also give you a bunch of info on the diseases and bio security. I think my free gift was a spatula and chicken pin lol. I would think if it was that, atleast on of your other birds would be showing symptoms. Also, let's not forget that wild birds would probably be your #1 source for the disease.

Yeah, unless wild birds came into my house, I think it's unlikely. A spatula huh? NICE! LOL

Not so sure about sleep tonight, with my first set hatching! One is out and doing good, another egg has peeped and starting to work the crack open. Hopefully I have a few more chicks in the morning. The EE'rs and Buff's are settled in nicely. I have that brooder in the same room as the bator. Hopefully those chicks will coax the eggs to hatch faster!

don't forget humans can trac it in from outdoors. So if you get something from wild bird you can give it to your birds inside. Sent from my N861 using Tapatalk

Still catching up but had an interruption tonight.
Got a text from oldest DD.. This picture is what she sent me! Seems a coworker was rehoming some animals in a hurry.
So I met her outside and did some very fast set up for 2 new residents... really glad I have the livestock trailer!
DD is about as bad as I am lately

This is about a 170+ pound doe, looks to be an alpine. Very sweet girl named Shadow. Also appears to be very pregnant

.
Udder looks to be filling up too.
And a tiny lil pigmy BUCK

named, you guessed it, Billy...and I am assuming the father of the kids to be!


So if my suspicions are correct I may have kids to find homes for in a few months.

They had tons of chicks-- many brooders were too full.
Didn't see any ducks.
How about this interesting breed listed on the sign below? lol Not only labeled incorrectly, but misspelled.

Their "Araucan" chicks sure look like cute little EEs.

animallover~ Very cool story!

It's great that you and your friend can create a whole new world and be in charge of the whole experience. And you don't have to go anywhere or spend any money writing-- plus, it's fun. Writing is such good practice for everything you do in life-- especially posting on BYC-Indiana! lol

EmSteele ~ Hopefully Old Salt will be back. His daughter(s)? and grandchildren moved near him, and he's been helping them with renovations. I'm sure he'd be happy if you PMd him to say hello.
racin~ You are burning up your bator! Congrats on your success.
raisemright ~ Loved the cute photos!
jchny~ OH MY! Goat Rescues!

From animal control days.. mini oreo or mini marshmallow are just a huge treat for skunks, raccoon and opossum... FYI.
They love them.. when I rehabbed the orphan babies it was a favorite treat, how strange how our priorities change. .
DH said we will cover the holes in the roof with chain link and retarp until we can replace the roof.
It won't be pretty but at least our egg flock are able to sleep safely.

I would love to meet up, see your pacas and just get to say hi!

Our story is about Pegacorns it was the first thing that popped into my head lol this is part of it the other half needs to be editted so its not all dialoge

The wolves howled to the moon watching the lone stranger walking with insanity. He stumbles and falls to the hot dessert ground. Slowly he starts to get up when all of a sudden a black pegacorn stops in front of him. The stranger stagers back falling on a cactus. He looks up rubbing his eyes. Is this a mirage? He thought. Slowly getting up, so he won't scare the strange creature in front of him. He backed away slowly. when h...e tripped over a rock. The pegacorn reared up and flapped his giant wings. Nylan! A girl yelled in the distance. Nylan where are you! The creature looked in the direction of the voice. The strange man hears the voice and slowly gets up again and dusts himself off. turning slowly he heads for the voice. the wolves howls get louder and more aggressive. he stops to look around for a few then continues on. These weren't normal wolfs. They were much bigger they were huge, smaller then the pegacorn but bigger then the stranger. The stranger freezes in fright. The Wolf moves closer, opening it's jaws. The stranger takes a step back, and is hit by another Wolf. He hits the ground and blacks out.

Nylan! Nylan wake up! The girl screams while shaking Nylan trying to wake him up from his dream.Nylan blinks a couple times. Looking at the girl and wonders who is she? Then realizing its ....
Adriana, his lab partner. Nylan! Adriana screamed while pulling the head gear and the rest of the heart monitor off of Nylan.
What happened asked Nylan. You blacked out do to heat stroke I found you and took you here replied Adriana. Where is here? Nylan asked while looking around the strange room. Your at the hospital the doctor said you'll be better by tomorrow she replied. What all happened while I was unconscious? All I remember was that we were out collecting. You wondered off cuz you saw something in the distance,your walky talky must have dyed or you forgot it, you were gone for 3 hours I couldn't find you. I
thought one of the wolfs got ahold of you or got bit by a rattle snake. I don't feel like I got bitten by anything. But I thought I saw a wild animal or a person needing help that's all. I'm glad you didn't get hurt.
Didn't you say I had heat stroke? Adriana, wasn't it almost the middle of the night? Yes but you'll be better by tomorrow you didn't get seriously hurt and yes it was almost the middle of the night. If it was almost the middle of the night how did I get heat stroke?
Wasn't it getting colder out side?

Oh my, that's a really good start! I hope you share as you add to your story. I love sci fi stuff, so it has me glued to read more

Okay, re: UNtreated wood...where is a good source for that? All they had at Lowe's was treated wood. And what do you do to keep it from rotting?

If thats what Lowes told you I would be calling the manager. They usually have a huge selection of untreated pine, construction grade lumber.
I usually call all 4, Lowes, Menards. Home Depot and 84 Lumber to see what the best price is and if they will match.
If they can't answer my questions someone else gets my business and $$$.
I use the arsenic free treated wood as a base for outdoor construction, just for what will be on the ground or buried.
We have termites here so I have no choice. I do not burn the leftover pieces, If I can't use it, it goes in the trash.
I rarely throw any wood lumber away or burn it. every lil piece I will use for something along the way.
