INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[chick rookie]

Aw, I'm glad your puppy is okay. She's really pretty. What happened if I can ask?

She got out of the yard and hit by a car Friday. She has been at the vets up until 8 am this morning. She has a long road ahead of her but she is a fighter.

funny you should suggest that DH just left to get a few movies. and CHOCOLATE !!!!!! I do have all kinds of info, but actually doing it will be the thing. if I am right she should go any time in the next 24 hours or so. Bad thing is the electric went out in the barn, and DH hasn't been able to go out and fix it

. So really hoping she goes in the daylight. Flashlights I think will suck.

Usually goats do fine having babies. I have never done it myself but I have seen a few kids and calves pulled before.

CCCHICKENS~ Yours is the long lost sister that Nene was supposed to have instead of her five brothers that RK sold as pullets!
jchny and chick rookie ~ As far as raising mealworms or getting a Large Guard Dog, unfortunately I am not able to manage a million animals and projects like you both do. I am trying to simplify my life. I'm trying, anyway.

Indiana County Map for instant member location/Avatars
If anyone would like a map of your county, like the one on my avatar, I will be happy to provide one. If someone wants a combo map and a chicken or an animal for your avatar, I can put that together for you, just PM me. When I read posts, many times I think “Now where are they from?” I look at the city and still have no idea what part of the state they’re from. The map icon with the county in red because you could quickly glance and see where the member who is posting is from. These avatars are not required-- they are just a free service if you’re interested.

AVATAR UPDATES
If members would like me to change the photo(s) on their avatars, just PM me. Someone might have a picture of a chick that has grown into a hen (or a roo!) and would like to update the photo or someone might like something totally different.

Aww, I'm glad she's okay we lost our dog to a semi last Wednesday. But, I'm glad your girl is doing well!

I'm so sorry.

I was scared to death we were going to have to put her down, but she turned out to be real fighter.

Usually goats do fine having babies. I have never done it myself but I have seen a few kids and calves pulled before.

I have had to turn and or pull a few foals in my lifetime, but I hope I don't have to do anything to a goat they are so small.

(I guess if we don't laugh about those roos we'd have to cry!)

 

[FlockMaster-614]

Thanks chick rookie. If he had been hit by a car I'm sure he would've made it. Been banged up good but alive but semi's. No, no matter what dog. I'm just glad it was quick and that he didn't hurt for too long.

Well, I should stop I'm bringing this place down. Thanks though I appreciate it its been tough I won't lie.

On a higher note:

Goats? Aww cute! Hope it goes well! Even though this is chickens you should post some pics goats are cute!
