"Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

[foreverlearning]

I have found out that my mystery spider is a bat eating spider. I found a picture of it yet no one has listed a name yet. That does explain why my bat population has gone down. I also found a great link to identify bugs and spiders:

http://www.insectidentification.org/

Of course it doesn't have everything as we know well that about half of them in Louisiana still have yet to be identified. It is a good start though.

Neat website! It will come in handy for some school project, I'm sure. Thanks.

That's great! I was really starting to wonder if there was anyone local! I'm still very new to having chickens. What is the Gulf South Fall Classic?

The Gulf South Fall Classic is an American Poultry Association and American Bantam Association sanctioned double show (two shows in one day) being held at the Parker Coliseum at the LSU Ag Center in Baton Rouge on November 9th. We can accept up to 850 birds (all land and waterfowl...turkeys and geese only with owner cooping) for this show: We could take up to 2,000 since we have enough coops, but could only afford 4 judges this go-round.

Right now we have quite a few breed clubs holding club meets at the show: Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, Cornish, Ameraucana, Buckeye, Orpington, Cochin, Plymouth Rock, Silkie Bantam, Old English, Modern Game, and Call Duck. If a person is a member of any of the clubs, or the A.P.A or A.B.A., they can earn points for their club toward becoming a master exhibitor by showing in a sanctioned meet.

Even if you aren't into showing birds, it may be fun just to come look. We already have people registering and bringing birds from Florida and Texas as well as Louisiana. My job is to keep track of registrations, print coop cards and exhibitor list, sheets for the judges to use, and fill out all the paperwork afterwards. Also, since we are a new club, I hired the judges, put together the show catalog, and other materials, and will do a floor plan for setting up the coops along with the show superintendents.

That's what my exterminator does, he won't even go into the pasture anymore. I was looking to see if I could figure out what it was and came across an article about bat eating spiders. It had a picture of it eating a bat so I was hopeful. No such luck as under the picture it said still unidentified species. It's about the size of my head and I give it a wide birth anytime I have to go back there. It's web covers one of the paths to the pond and is 6-7 feet tall.

That is how I am already feeling. Thank goodness Jim Crain pointed me toward some software made for poultry shows. Otherwise, by the time this is over you would probably find me hiding in my closet shaking from a nervous condition...lol.
