INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[browncow15]

I know there's a few people here that have had their eggs tested through the state, the name of the program is escaping me at the moment. Anyway what did you think about it and is there a website or something with info on that?

really easy to do. A bit of stress opening the results.
http://www.inpoultry.org/ click small flock and screening. A pdf opens. Fill out PDF, send in, and in a few weeks a box comes to your house with some packing but desperately needing more once the eggs are added. A step by step method of how they want the eggs packed is include. return postage is paid so no real out of pocket expenses.

or sold out all together! Yaks huh? Interesting, can't say that I've known anyone that owns a yak

I saw one up for sale at Dinky's a few years ago so there is/was someone who owned one in Indiana or a nearby state.

Your best bet for cemani is watching rarebreedauctions.com. While pairs are still going for $1500 or so, it's still cheaper than directly through greenfire. Greenfire lists on there as well. There seems to be many people selling fibro and cemani crosses as the real deal as well. If you really want to get into them, buy from a well known breeder and get documentation/proof the birds are from them to help retain value of birds.

Looked her over good and didn't see anything. I got some vitamin/electrolyte water in her, but couldn't get her to eat this morning. She's out and about this afternoon and must be eating again because her droppings look a bit better, still loose but not sticking to her feathers anymore. She's dozing a lot, but is otherwise okay and her comb has stood most of the way back up. I think she got into something she shouldn't've. We had a junk bucket filled with, among other things, nasty old sunflower seeds and oil from an oil change, and some of it was spilled accidentally yesterday. Well, it was cleaned up as thoroughly as possible, but there's still the chance that we missed some, and of course the girls wouldn't know better than to leave sunflower seeds alone, nasty as they were. I'm betting she found some sunflower seeds from that spill and it upset her tummy. :/ At any rate, it looks like she's passed it on through and is improving at this point.

Sora's looking much better as of roost time. She went to roost on her own. I'd say she's back at 95% her usual self. I really think she got into those nasty seeds and just got a tummy ache. Reserving my relief for when she's back at 100%.
