***Ladyhawke- when you did your blood draw, how did you hold/position your chicken? just wonder if our "size" plays a part in how you would hold a nice sized bird. Or do you just have to make sure you have the chooks "comfortable" w/ being handled?..Thank you- Danielle

No, Dr. Aliza showed me how to postion them for a good hold and nice wing position to pluck some feathers and have good access to the vein there . She was a superb teacher! I got it on the second try.

Has anyone purchased seedlings from the game commission? I'm thinking of putting in a raparian buffer and wondered if their plants are good. Prices are awesome.

No, but now we need details!

I'm not 100% sure, but I think so. All of the evidence points to a pressure from the top.

So sorry you couldn't save her Betta. :-(
