Sounds like fun Blooie!

Who makes the haggis? I've been told by several relatives that my brother makes a mean one but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
 
A lady up in Cody, Carol Armstrong, I think. She is originally from Scotland, been here about 10 years or so, I guess. Um, and ALL haggis is "mean"! I only take a dab of it because of the tradition, with a margarita in the other hand while I eat it. Mixing cultures can be a very good thing!

Hi everyone just thought I would update on Beast don't want to bore you all - he has microplasma - but vet thinks I caught it in time and giving the chicken's doxycycline helped he has given more but bigger dose. The maggots he has got rid off and said they laid in his dirty tail area but has washed him (poor beast). Vet doesn't know where he got it from, thinks as he is Aids positive and because he is older it has kicked in and depleted his immune system. He is back home with a drip, which is irritating him no end and I must just continue to do what we can for him and try andgetfood down him. So cooking up a cat food storm!

Hope your boy is feeling a lot better soon - how awful (for him and you) but thankfully you've got rid of those horrid maggots. Hopefully you can find something to tempt his appetite.
 
Here are two more photos of cute finch babies. One has a lot of white like its Mum - we've called it Scully. They are very noisy now when they demand food from their parents. And they always open their beaks hopefully when we handle them.





Hope you enjoy your night Blooie. I've never tried Haggis - not sure I'm that brave.

Now I'm off to keep battling poultry mites in one of our coops - this is my fourth big clean out but I'm now armed with a mite powder made by a breeder down south that contains DE, rotenone, flowers of sulphur, and neem. So that will be sprinkled everywhere in the coop, and I have some neem oil that I'm painting neat on the ends of the roosting bars - I'm tempted to get more and paint it everywhere! I lost faith in just DE when I found thousands of mites crawling round quite happily in the deep layer I had in the bottom of the nest boxes. Yuck! At least I haven't been bitten again - that was itchy.

But my daughter wants to go visit the finches again so I'll do that first so I don't spread the problem.
