For those that don't have packsaddles be glad! They hurt like a mofo lol! They've got those spines and they leave a slightly caustic trail underneath them. They just turn into a kind of sad looking moth, really weird for such a fancy caterpillar. I don't see them much, and the one Ethel tried to eat is the biggest one iv'e ever seen! They are normally half that size. Ethel is fine BTW, chicken lesson learned "hopefully".:)

@apryl29, He isn't too bad it was 200 for the whole flock and that includes labwork. He is hard to pin down though, I have to snag him a couple months in advance even though he's family.

Wow, that's really not bad at all when you consider it's your whole flock. It was $40 plus lab work (I think) just to have Jaiden looked at.

IDK, but guess when they do have a jury trial, they bring a couple juries in... have no idea how the final is chosen... One day out of the three months they had two juries report to the courthouse, but mine wasn't chosen. What they do is put together as many juries as they can out of the folks who show up and any remaining who don't add up to 12 become alternates. After your three month tour, you get a check for $10 for showing up in the first place and $10/day if you served as well as a thank you note from the judge. If you didn't show up on the first day, you get a summons to appear followed by a sheriff visit which includes hand cuffs and when you appear before the judge, unless you were in the hospital that day and can prove it, it's a $250 fine.

Wow, I assume the threat of matching silver bracelets is enough to get people to show up. I get that jury duty isn't supposed to be a job and is part of your civic duty, but if people were compensated fairly then they'd have no problem finding people who are willing to serve.

We can't take jury duty pay here. The University pays us our regular wage when on jury duty

That's awesome! Here the regular employer has to pay 3 days of regular wages then the state takes over at 10 bucks a day.

Simply impossible for people running paycheck to paycheck (which is most of the USA) to not suffer serious financial loss. It's sad.
 
One place I worked, the salaried folks were still paid their regular wages, but had to turn over any jury pay to the company. Hourly employees had the choice of taking the jury pay or getting their regular wages, but there was some kind of weird formula that I can't remember.
 
Speaking of crazy looking critters. What the ????? (Just now, outside my office

Good morning, sweet Squatchers! Gotta play a little catch up...:caf

It is hot as panty plums (hahahaha, I was dying to say that! @Chickassan) here today!!! Like 105 with the heat index I think. I'm a gross sweaty mess, just came in from the chook area for the 10th time.

Nunny, I'm so sorry about your chick. :hugs:hit

You guys, I was cleaning up my desktop yesterday and found this awesome, awesome chart of chicken meds I found when I was researching treatment for Lafayette. It is so good I am going to print the entire thing. It should be a sticky.
