WOW. That is beautiful.Good fences make good neighbors! Or a lot of acres between neighbors. I spent my Saturday catching up on rest. And stealing honey from my honeybees! Three medium frames full of capped honey. They're strong, and this wet summer has made the flowers very prolific. So I didn't feel bad taking from them.
I don't have an extractor, so I'll have to mash it all up and strain through cheesecloth.
Evidently not always.
The thing to remember, too, with older birds that are vaccinated, it does not keep them from shedding the virus. If a bird is starting to exhibit symptoms, you can try vaccinating quickly, and hope that it will stop tumors and lesions. In older birds, that have been exposed, the same applies, stopping the possible mareks tumors and lesions. I do believe that is what is happening with my sisters... The one has a wing that is dropping, she's also looking like she's losing motor control of the right leg, and is starting to stumble. Its very disheartening. There will be no birds leaving here to trade to others. Eggs, yes, but not birds.good for you Opa, I have a friend that is 95, she is in Kent Comunity now, I go visit for a few hrs once a week, always bring her a boque of flowers from my garden, most of what I have came from her garden she loves to tell storys about many of the plants being from her mothers gardenand how they put the kids through college by selling at the farmers market. , She has tought a lot of people about gardening, out of the goodness of her heart and many of those people still come to visit her. may we all be lucky enough to plant seeds of love in those around us.School will be started and it will be halloween before we know it, Hope my tomatoes and peppers rippen up before the snow flies. Vaccine for Mareks should be administered to day old chicks, before they have been exposed to the ground and/or flock, according to the MSU vet it is every were and not vaccinating is playing with fire. That said when I called the co. that sells the med they said it can be administered at any age, (of course they want to sell mor meds) I did vaccinate all my birds old and young and many oif them got no symptems at all, but that could have happened with or with out.
sounds like he doesn't realy want to sell his moter,don't think I would bother doing business with him either,
Yesterday we spent way to much time chasing chickens. Two pullets discovered that they could force their way through the mesh of the portable fencing. We chase them back only to have them escape again. Not sure how many times it happened but I finally reduced the size of the enclosure so that I could encircle it with some plastic fencing with a 1/2" grid.
Talked with a guy Saturday who has a 90hp jet outboard for sale or trade for guns and motors. He is asking $2400 so I offered a motor worth $1800 and a gun valued at $1000 and he felt that he would need substantially more. While I would like to have his motor I doubt if I will be doing business with him.
Good luck with your fight, unbelievable!!
