Are all antibiotics now considered VFD drugs?
Not all antibiotics will be considered VFD drugs. The use of Injectable antibiotics will not be affected. At this time, the FDA has only moved antibiotics that are essential to human medicine and being fed to animals, to VFD status.

According to FDA Guidance Document #213 located here water soluble antibiotics, which are important to human medicine now require a prescription from a veterinarian.

What products does the VFD cover?
Medically important antibiotics, which are essential to human medicine as outlined in Guidance Document 213, are being added to the list of drugs being moved to VFD status. This includes products that contain: tetracyclines, lincosamides, macrolides, penicillin, streptogramins, aminoglycosides, aminopenicillins and sulfonamides. The FDA has a complete list of drugs which require a VFD order here.

[COLOR=0000FF]I don't know about a moving company, but I'm wondering if you will have to travel each day to feed and water your birds?[/COLOR]

It's a rural area and have farms all over the place. I'm hoping to find a place near my company or my apartment or between, so I can stop on the way to take care of them. If I can park near the coop, it would be ideal in winter.

Our second year from the dwarf peach ..approx 4 bushels. This was the first picking thursday. There are about 2 more bushels left on the tree to ripen...

. Going to be canning up peach pie filling and peach slices/pieces.

my first year for a onion crop, approx. 50 onions. previous years had never produced..anything. Not sure what I was doing wrong, but this year is great!!
Has anyone ever braided onions for storing?...was thinking about trying it out.

Well, Auro:

My older CCL girl has just gone broody....she was in the box yesterday when I came home from work and has not moved....I am also going into lockdown shortly...set the eggs in the afternoon of the 5th....and my three week old welbar and ccl pair.....so, not sure if I should stuff a handful of eggs under the girl, or give her my incubator hatchlings.....

This soon will have to be eggs. Although... Might be worth trying the chicks.

X2, good luck with the broody. One of mine keeps leaving her nest and returning to the wrong one :/

Mine aren't dwarf, but they don't even come close to comparing to your trees!

I was sad to see that my best jalapeno plant (or was it Serrano?) was broken. I had two nice size peppers on it. The watermelons are good and bad depending on the location. Some of the vines were dried up. All in all, the garden is coming along. I wish I had spent more time weeding when I could. Is it still weeding when it is mostly grass?
The strawberries aren't dead yet. That is an improvement! Third time trying to grow them!
I am surprised my tomatoes aren't further along. I will be sure to be better about watering and weeding now. Heck, I even managed to yank a lot of grass from between the vining plants.
Yes, yes. I am awesome. I know it.

LMP:

So glad to see you back in the saddle....your peaches are great, my two dwarfs(elberta) only set a few dozen each and the squirrels got them, birds have pillaged 2/3 of my blueberries and most of the blackberries....

on the bird front finished a 7day tetracycline run and all is well....my broody has given up though....second time this year.....and she has hatched some before....so, 9 viable CCLs going into lockdown...(last time I went 1for5, and the only hatch was a boy (go figure).....

Blarney, glad to see you posting again too!!!

 

[BullChick]

Good luck with the hatch!
