[Minminme]

Hi thanks for the welcome, I'm so dumb I hadn't realised this thread was for people from Indiana to post on, I just thought Indiana must be a type of chicken duh! Sorry it was late in the UK!

It is a thread of MOSTLY people in Indiana, I'm actually in West Virginia, and I've bn welcomed with open arms. These amazing people are very warm hearted, friendly and helpful! Welcome to the thread, follow the minimal rules and you also may be family!

If I had a nickel for every time my mom put purple medicine on us growing up I might have enough to go to Starbucks.

Doc had a fit said that you can't tell if you are getting infection.
Always worked on are dogs too.

Okay, so I finally looked up Blu Kote to see what it was, everyone says it is blue and stains I was thinking - sounds like Gentian Violet - yep that's what it is!! So no reason why it wouldl not work on kiddos. I need to get some so when we go out of town our neighbors have it just in case - so thank for this thread reminder.

It is also what nursing moms can use for thrush in their babies mouths and on them although I am not sure I would use the blu kote for that since it has other ingredients too. Just straight Gentian Violet, of course mom and babe will be blue but it does work!

Still way behind on posts, but am off to bed. Camping this weekend so will be back on sunday evening. Yep I have internet at my campground ROFL!
Chickenfest is set for July 19th, more info from M2H coming!

Can someone generally tell us newbies about Chicken fest?

The orsch. Was in Lawrence kansas.

The proposed ordinance is to allow 6. Gonna work to get that passed, then work to I increase. That number.

Do you have a copy of the proposed ordinance - can you get it online?

I am so shocked... There is nothing left of my little bantam Cochin boy, Po, except a few of his lovely black feathers. I'm so upset.

He was separate from the flock because he was getting to be a little too much for the girls. It was just a temporary thing, just until he cooled it, because other than wearing down the feathers on a couple of the girls, he was so good to them. His pen wasn't particularly secure, but he had a secure hutch-like thing in it. I forgot to close him in it last night. I'm just kicking myself this morning. My handsome little guy, Po... And he was shaping up to be such a good flock rooster...

It is a get together where everyone can meet up, I believe people have bought and swapped chickens, do demos on different things like processing, eat, and talk chicken

Ohhh-- I was pretty tired when I posted. I assume the petition I signed was Lawrence, IN -- it didn't specify.
