Is there any reason as to why it's being banned? From what I've read, it is needed, and essential, not only in chickens, but for people.

I just corrected my post. It is in the process from being removed from organic chicken feed. My Purina layeena should be fine.

I agree .

Just knowing there was something different that my birds eat would make me automatically
taste something different in their eggs.

Al, I wish it was like that here. No feeding the deer to lure them in. You can plant food plots, have fruit trees. Naturally occurring food only. Now with the Chronic Wasting Disease they don't even want you to put salt blocks out for them in the summer.

5yrs ago before the CWD outbreak we would dump a bag of corn out in the timber for the deer and turkeys when the snow was really deep and it was cold. Now we can't even do that. Kinda sad but I do understand their thinking.

achem.... not legal here either.

Hey, I won't tell!

We know people who are probably still feeding them in the winter and spring. The Conservation Dept's way of thinking is that if they congregate to eat they have a better chance of transmitting the disease. Feeding during hunting season is always a strict no no but food gets so scarce here over winter that when spring comes it's just sad to see how thin some of the does are when they drop their fawns.

This year there is a huge acorn crop so that should help. I love going into the timber after a snow in January and look for where the turkey have been feeding on acorns. You can always tell where they are digging about in the leaves.

here the animals usually look pretty healthy...not like down south ...actually, first time I saw a coyote up here I was FLOORED! ! The beast looked gorgeous! In Texas they all look like rabid mangy half starved garbage rejects.

One year though there was a giant rabbit population spike up here... wowsers.. when the crash started the wild rabbits were also a bunch of wormy mangy diseased beasts.

Too much of anything is never good. When nature gets out of balance, animals starve. The deer around here look pretty healthy. Seem to be all does, but there have to be bucks out there somewhere.

Guess what still isn't fixed.

I was nice the first day. Not so nice today. I don't even know what the point is, anymore. They called me to ask if I could switch the pipes off to the water heater (yes, the guy showed me how to do that yesterday) and then drain the water heater (uhm, no, no one showed me that, I don't know where the drain is and it's 80 gallons of burning hot water, where would you like me to stick that?) so I made them come out. They only shut the water off, didn't drain it, and I have no idea what the point is or isn't. BF was here because I gave up and told him it now required testicle to testicle communication because clearly I don't have what it takes to resolve this anymore. BF says he thought if the pressure remained high, it was the water heater broken. I told him I thought the opposite was true. Regardless, they never called us back, or showed back up, and we have nothing coming out of the hot water pipes...

Time to go empty the duck water dish that's collecting the furnace pee.

Just
At least you and BF can see each other now that the power is back on so you can tell when one of you freezes to death.

Thanks for the laugh.

I am so done with all this. I want a refund for the last 10 days.
