It looks like my computer chose a good day to down if the forum was down, too.

So I should leave the lights on during lock down?

I am, it is just a theory, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
Most incubators and brooders have lights, this little on I am using for lockdown, has no light, so it seems a hatching baby would just sleep, and in the process dry out.

beautiful horse. Is that you and your horse? Is that considered Dun or buckskin? Been too long since I have been in horses.

Oh, also if you look closely the tell tale dorsel stripe down his back is a the difference between a dun and a buckskin. You might also be able to see the dun factor like the spider webbing on his forehead. That horse also has the most amazing tiger striping on his legs in the points. Jean has shown him in the Dun factor class which I believe he has ROM in. I showed him a bit as a yearling and he won every dun factor class he went in. She has also done very well with him in the halter classes. Jean, doesn't he have his ROM in halter too? and some Grands? Sadly I had to sell his mom too. Awesome eye candy. Really miss them.

This makes sence to me. So I will have my lights on during lockdown.

I'm gonna candle in two more days. Figured day 8 would be a decent day to do it. Should be enough time to show development, least I think it should be.

That was thoughtful of you.

Ive contacted one of the local tribal elders. He is on his way there to pick up the Beaver. There is a special ceremony that is performed for the tribes main totem animals, and he is the main go to person for injured/deceased critters around here. It really is a beautifully haunting ceremony to witness, and I feel quite honered to have been allowed to join a couple times in the past.

Hey on the topic of horses... What do you all do for rain scald? My 2yr old filly came to me with rain scald, I have treated with vinager, and antimicrobial shampoos, she still has it. I feel like Im fighting a loosing battle against a fungus... I'm hoping that the temperatures stay warm like they have been, that way I can take her up to Diamond Hill, and use the hot wash rack and dryer... Have any sudgestions before I go through another $80 bottle of shampoo?

I was raised as a family member of one of the larger native families here in Suquamish. I have quite a bit of respect for the elders. I stay clear away from anyone my age or younger though... As most of them are nothing but trouble...
