I just found an ad on Craigslist for the first sale in 2013 at Keytesville. It will be held this weekend Saturday the 12th and starts at noon. I will be there and have tons of birds to bring! So happy now I can get my breeding pens set up!
MISSOURI ! ! !

Hi I live in Desoto and will be making a trip down to Springfield, Mo sometime in February was hoping to pick up some birds or eggs on my way back. I'm looking for blrw older girls preferably as I already have 2 breeding age roos, but chicks or eggs are ok too. I'm also wanting some orpingtons and silkies chicks or eggs are fine. Would like good quality birds.
EMERGENCY!!!!!!
Is there anyway way to get a Missouri BYC member help. This is a link to the thread that she started back in November. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/720941/fall-surgery-3-months-in-rehab-facility/10 ( See the post on Jan, 6th) She needs some "in person" type help! Any help from any safe reliable source would be appreciated, I would think. I am located in Washington State or I would be helping in person.
I know that if I needed the help that eggcited2 needs, I would be knee deep in fellow state BYC members. She needs help packing, from the sounds of things. Her post on page 2 describes what she needs the best. I don't know where is located and where is in the State of Missouri. So if there is a way to help, and she will let you help, let's make it happen. It is possible that the house won't be auctioned off, or who ever buys the house will let eggcited2 and her DH rent it back from them.
But if she has to pack and move, she is going to need help. If we can't help maybe someone knows of a church group that would be willing to help. Any one willing to pack a box and or move it should be able help. She may need help after arriving in Illinois, but that should be a plea to the Illinois State BYC group.
This is hopefully a start. I am going to start a page over in the Chickenstock, meetup, groups section also. Here's hoping that this semi disabled old lady doesn't have to hobble on a plane and help pack eggcited2 by myself.

As far as I can tell eggcited2 does not have regular access to the internet. It has taken some time between posts for her to respond. Now we just have to be patient, and wait for the next post. I am going to PM her, and see if there is a way for me to call her in person. I have unlimited minutes to be able call anywhere in the states. So as soon as we can make something happen we will if we can.
Thank you for all the links to the resources available in Missouri. I haven't ever had to make things like this happen, but my heart won't let me not try to help somehow.
A big thank you to those that have already offered to help anyway that they can.

So is there any way for any Missouri BYC member to help our fellow member?
Thank you everyone for the suggestions and places to look for help. Still more has happened since I posted on jan. 6.
As for the bone growth stimulator; on Monday of this week, Jan. 7, the rep for Smith & Nephew called and said they had recieved the official written paperwork from the insurance. That let them legally be able to talk to us about selfpurchase. They talked to my hubby and their 'patient' advocate was able to arrange a self-pay. Smith & Nephew gave us 87% off the price of the bone stimulator. For a monthly payment of $30 (no interest charges or any charges to spread out the cost), paying until just shy of $500 total, we were able to get the bone growth stimulator. Brand new, and all needed things with it. It is the ultra sound pulses that my surgeon wanted and from what I have read on the internet reviews (from like Mayo's or the nih gov. information site), is the best to get. They brought it to me on Tuesday. Jan. 8.
While that was wonderful good thing to happen, also on Tuesday Jan. 8, the social worker, therapy director, and head person of financial affars came into my room. The insurance company had called that morning and informed the facility that since my leg is not healing at all, and I can not still put any weight on it, they were pulling payment for me to be there. The therapy director did say that they had reached as far as they could go with both physical therapy and occupational therapy for everything else but the broken leg. I had to call Bill and tell him to come get me as soon as possible, cause insurance was not kidding about pulling payment right away, They did not give the facility any additonal days for me to get ready to leave. Needless to say, I am now at home. At least I have the bone stimulator to use here at home.
The insurance is provided by where my husband is retired from. The business he retired from tells the insurance what to pay, what to cover and what to refuse. It is Blue Cross/Blue Shield, but it is not at all like any coverage a person would pay for themselves. BS/BC is only hired to do the paperwork and be the middle man.
I am 57 years old and don't know if I qualify for any senior help or any agency for older people. Our church is a little country church with about 20 members, most are older people.
I live a few miles north of Troy, MO. Which is about half way between St. Louis and Hannibal MO. on Route 61.
I still can't move around anymore than what I could at rehab. Use my walker only for transfers. I have only been able to sleep in a recliner (no bed) since 1999 - due to the heart disease, my asthma, the arthritis pain and a few other things. So I have my recliner in the front room to watch TV during the day, read, or what ever, and use it to sleep in at night. No having to move around to get from a bed to a chair in the front room. The commode is just to the left of my recliner, so it is only a couple hops with my walker to get to it and then back to the chair. Bill cooks and brings meals to me at my chair/recliner.
I have a friend who says she thinks she can come one day a weekend, and both days everyother weekend, and help pack. Bill has contacted some moving services. There is one who will go the 200 - 250 miles up in Illinois. The big companines need more notice to move us and on top of that, they are beyond too expensive to hire.
As the saying goes: when it rains it pours. That sure sums up my life.
