Nova! Praying for your sister! I am so sorry!

How do they make more? HAHA! AI??? Ewww... Not a job for me....

There are many breeds that require AI for high rates of fertilization. If you look on YouTube there are videos showing the process.

Thanks for the prayers for my sister. It is just crazy. A perfectly healthy person, goes for her gall bladder removal, and they mess her up. She looks like she's going through chemo treatments. Thats how sick she is from the liver injury. Just crazy.

Ok Robin let me know. Glad it made it home safe. Funny thing is out of all the coops we've sold in the last two years (at least 15!), I've never heard back from anyone so I always worry that they make it home safe lol.

Let me know what you want and Aric will draw up plans and I'll send you the quote.


Ugh, I don't come here often enough, I still can't figure this new format out lol Guess I should have hit that "quote" button lol

I saw AI for turkeys on Dirty Jobs. It was pretty funny! Just not a job I would prefer. If I had to, i guess, I would.

I am glad he is doing better.

Me too!

That is so sad. I had a girlfriend that was on and off chemo for a long time. She tried so hard not to be defeated by how tired and sick it made her.

Nova, best wishes for your sister. Hope they fix it this time. I'd be going for a lawyer too!

It's always nice to meet another BYCer. I got to meet SillyChicken this morning when I picked up her koi.

He made it back home without incident and was transferred to the pond. I think he likes it there. He is 2-3 times larger than my other koi. Now the pond doesn't look as sparse.

I hope the rain moves in, it has been so dry here. There have been a few sprinkles but not enough to wet the ground under the trees.

Tonight is the council meeting regarding chickens in Garden City. One councilman was quoted in the paper as saying he wouldn't mind chickens as long as they are "properly caged". WTH?
The paper also has the proposed wording for the amended ordinance and it is asinine. They want a permit, a application fee, an inspection by an as of yet unidentified entity, renewal of permit each year and a ban of sharing the eggs with anyone outside the property.

Even though the council is open to allowing chickens, I think they need some education on chicken keeping and a lot better wording of the ordinance..

RaZ -- sounds like Garden City is just trying to avoid any liability if they allow chickens. I know their suggestions aren't reasonable but the intention they have is probably to limit their liability.

Is there anyway to write one out for them, siting other cities that it works in? Also, I don't understand why giving away eggs is such a big deal. not like the city would be sued if joe schmo got sick of fred schmed's eggs.

Wish we could have talked more this morning... work always gets in the way of fun! I told my DH that he was going to a nice place with a huge pond, I figured he'd be happier with you than that darn tank.

Well, I just sold my eggs... YEAH! I don't even have a sign out yet! LOL. Anyway, the lady who stopped and asked for them, she also wanted to know if I sold chickens for eating. I told her I only had cockerels right now, and they're pretty much just good for soups and shredding. But they are frozen... so, she didn't want a frozen one. she wanted a fresh one. Well hell, the only not frozen one I have I was preparing for the slow cooker. No, I didn't sell it. I am eating that sucker tonight dangit all!

Sister is comfortable sitting in her own hospital room. She's having the surgery in the morning to mend the liver.

Anyway... how do you some of you sell? By the pound or by the whole bird?
