[COLOR=008000]Anybody in mid-Michigan area doing anything with QUAIL?? [/COLOR] [COLOR=008000]Last year I built a double decker quail pen and then incubated about a dozen eggs, got only ONE hatch and he died within 5 days. I'm looking for some eggs to hatch closer to me so they aren't in shipping so long. I may even be able to drive to pick them up. [/COLOR] [COLOR=008000]Here's my pen I made. Still hasn't got a roof on it yet, but that won't take long. [/COLOR] [COLOR=008000] [/COLOR] [/quote ] I know a lady in north branch who has quail. Buttons and snowflake and others I believe.

Love my Austra and BSL hens for egg laying. They'll be a year in April but they've done well fall on through this winter so far. I keep plenty of different breeds. I'd like to raise Andi's. Trying at least.

warmed up to above the freezing mark here today, melted off a lot of our snow. Kinda sucks as we had just gotten that last little snow fall all packed down on the driveway to be a bit icy and help hold all the gravel in place. and now that protective layer is all slushy.

Oh well, remember to get up early before work tomorrow and let the girls out, and probably do another round of scraping off poops. Spring will be here soon enough, and it will be time to pick up some new chicks.

Opa, MRSA is such a tricky bug! Because so many people have misused antibiotics and they've been over prescribed, you now suffer the consequences. Super bugs are formed and new drugs are needed to combat them. I sure hope they get to the bottom of your infection and cure it. I've cultured it from my own cell phone. Hopefully you've been sent to an infection disease specialist.

I read a report about mrsa once that also talked about cleaning procedures. Hospitals get overloaded with staph naturally, and hard as they tried you can't get all the bugs. Those that survive mutate and become stronger. Were it antibiotic overuse alone it would be rampant but certain hospitals are known carriers. Surgery, open skin.... viola, instant blood born exposure with no chance to fight it with your immune system. A friend got it the same way and is also still healing from thst surgery from over a year ago. Skin won't seal.

As disgusting as the image that it brings, wouldn't using maggots to eat the infected tissue work?
