Kentucky people

While I am looking at Kentucky regulations here is a bit more for trivia sake.

I went ahead and included everything since many of us have more interest than just chickens.

I'm still curious as to what donkey stew would taste like..... meri?

Thanks estpr, I've seen that before. I have checked on the coturnix quail before, and couldn't find anything on them either. I assume since it doesn't say you can't have them, that means they are okay. That's why I've decided to go with the coturnix, instead of bobwhites. Not as much hassle.

Did you see the part that shows the animals you can't have? One of them is quaker parrots, which really sucks. I would so love a quaker again! They are pretty cool! I wonder if we can have sugar gliders? I've been thinking of getting one.

Where are you at in KY? ladrifter pops in from time to time. He's in Liberty, and has blue andalusians as well. He is turning into a cochin addict though, says his reasoning is so they can brood the andalusians' eggs....I think he just likes their fluffy butts!

I am certain that sugar gliders are fine; they are sold at quite a few pet stores, and are listed for sale in the classified ads fairly often. As for the monk / Quaker, there are a few in KY but their keepers don't commonly advertise that fact.

I believe they're often referred to as various types of green parrots (i. e. everything except monk or Quaker).

ETA: the first time I saw a sugar glider and looked into those deep brown eyes, I was smitten! I've never had one b/c I have 8 indoor cats and 30+ birds inside, and the chickens & guineas outside (and can you believe my husband says I have my hands full? silly man...

but they are the most beautiful little creatures....

That's good to know about the sugar gliders, too bad there aren't any pet stores around here! The closest one is in Glasgow, and that's a walmart

yeah, we're fortunate to have a PetsMart here, and several years ago there was a Petland which was only open a couple of years. There have been a few other small independent pet shops, but I haven't visited many of them. It's far too tempting...

I do get good prices on many bulk size items like larger bags of cat food, but I do better with my bird supplies on Ebay. (surprisingly!)

OK chicken masters. Why would chickens be loosing feathers around their butt. My friend is having this problem. My first thought was to clean out the coop and dust with seven. Eperts what do you think??

I plan on being at Cindys about noonish. Which one is bringing Seramas for Briar patch. Selley or Meri??

That would be me, but I am riding with Meri

And I have no idea about the feathers, sorry!

shelley is. but I'm bringing shelley,

so both?

eta -
oh yeah, and I don't know about the feathers, either - first guess would be picking of some fashion - but not sure why they would pick at each other's butt.

Tally on chickies so far - I have 5 - four from Mr. Speckles's girls, and one just hatched from George's coop

finally got one from George - it's an Australorp mixed with George. So either Mooney or Oreo - not sure which one.

The one chick had a patch the first two kept picking at, picked it bloody (the little nasty buggars!) so I put bluekote on it

poor baby isn't even two days old and it has bluekote on it's butt.

So far all of them seem to be doing fine, though - except the first two like to pick at everyone else.
