The threadis moving along at a good clip.

I see the comment numbers higher than the ones I can see so I guess blocking works.

ChickenCanoe I heard about the horrible night in Ferguson on the way to work this morning, and immediately hoped it wasn't too near you. Then I thought, anywhere in the world such things happen, is too near all of us. So dreadfully sad. You have really impressive knowledge of your locale, so interesting to read about how your city and county came to be, and evolved! The claim to fame in Pueblo seems mainly to be that every Western TV series felt obligated to mention it once or many times, as a destination LOL. Kidding of course, but what I know about Pueblo I could not fill a dollhouse thimble with.

Wisher, very glad you found a roomie for Ohio I hope you will lavish many pictures on us when you retun!

I am told (by a friend who does a lot of fermenting) the milk sugars are pretty well consumed by turning milk to yogurt and that the probiotics are very beneficial, albeit in limited doses as Ron and Lacy and I think at least one other person pointed out. I know one time I asked DH to give it to my chickens as a treat while I was at work, he called me absolutely astonished and wanted to know how a chicken can actually lick a dish clean LOL.

Question about coccidiosis: I sold some chicks that were almost a week old last week, and they developed bloody poop on arrival at their new home - like, immediately - although none of the chicks still at home have it. The new owner treated with corid and they are fine, never got lethargic or anything - so my question is, should I treat all my chicks as a precaution? Or will I do more harm by disrupting their immune systems? I was quite surprised, I've never ever seen it before, nor ever heard of any other chicks having it after leaving my home.

I would not treat them unless they showed symptoms. It is easy to spot without seeing bloody poop.

The shipped chicks likely had a lowered immune response to cocci.

Send a PM if you want treatment information.

Yeah, sounds like the chicks got stressed in shipping.

I like St Louis.

My first experience there was driving through on my Way to Baltimore from LA in January 1994.

The second was to decide on barcode technology for a nationwide hospital corp a few years later.

The thin crust Pizza was awesome - as with frozen custard at Ted Drewes

Where there are guns there are death by guns.The constituitional right to bear arms makes for hair cops trigger Its inevitable. It was just St Louis' turn

My stepdaughter and her husband lived in St. Louis for a bit. He's from there originally. They met while in New Orleans in college. At present she's in Tulsa, which isn't as interesting BUT it has the grandkids there.

Always loved visiting St. Louis. The zoo is spectacular and so much better in person than it was portrayed on the TV show eons ago (which, as I recall, was on Sunday night). Loved the Butterfly House. Also visiting the Clydesdales. The museum at the base of the Arch is interesting, too.
