ok, but I was going to get a tomato box, they are sturdy, have holes and if that's ok I'll do that or my crate which ever. I'll make sure she eats good before I bring her!!!

tomato box should be fine, I have a small waterer that I can put in or take along until missy gets there to get her. She and I have started a chat and we'll keep in touch. I will let you know for sure, but we'll most likely leave around 6 pm when the DW gets home from work, so any time Friday afternoon should be fine

Thanks y'all.  Not exactly how I planned on ending my weekend but it could have been worse.  Nothing broke in the ankle joint.  Not sure how bad but he did mention ligament damage in addition to the brake.

Poor GAM! I am so sorry to hear about your leg. Hope they can heal it quickly. :(

I've also heard NPIP testing is a joke. They come test a few birds once a year. They could be infected the next week and still be considered safe for a year.

What about that at the bottom of the letter about how if you cannot pen your birds in an enclosed space to contact them and let them know? Why? Are they going to come catch them for me? Doubt it. Probably come catch them and take them off with them. I can't catch my guineas. Anyway this is being spread by wild birds. Are they catching all the wild birds and penning them up too? Doubt it. If it gets brought into my yard and my birds die... that's the least of their problems. The wild birds that come in my yard looking for scraps and chicken food are what they will need to worry about. If my birds start dropping, I'll call. Not while they are healthy. I'm just sad about the sales being stopped. I bought 3 oegb chicks... as of right now they all look like hens. I won't need them without a roo, so I was planning on selling them and maybe looking for an adult trio. Just my luck. I still have 3 barred cochin bantam hens and no rooster because out of the three straight run I bought... all girls. I do most of my buying and selling and trading during this time of year. I was about to sell my partridge silkie breeding group, my cochin bantam hens, and some of my other birds that I've been keeping but not planning on breeding. Now? I guess I'm hanging onto them until the craziness dies down.

All girls is a problem most folks would love to have, but alas, always happens when you want a male to breed them with.

"craziness" is right! Remember West Nile? It just vanished. All the panic and now, nothing. It was, as they say, a "nothingburger".

My birds are not staying in the barn. They will do exactly what they've always done and get fresh air and sunshine out in the pen or free ranging. I live in the woods in the mountains and in the 12 years we've had our own flocks, have never seen anything contagious nor had a predator loss. We have ALWAYS practiced biosecurity and NEVER buy started birds. Only two birds who were not hatched here nor gotten from a hatchery shipment the same day they hit the feed store have ever been here. I still have one of them and she is 9 years old, a gift from a friend with a clean flock (it was an agonizing decision to accept the gift, but she's been a blessing, was in quarantine for 8 weeks)

I'm not stupid, but maybe they think we are? They'd love to scare everyone into the NPIP programs. More $$ for the states for one thing and a nice new list of chicken flocks. I do suspect this stuff when they push for you to join NPIP. I am not commercial, my birds are in no one's food chain except my own. I do sell hatching eggs occasionally and on occasion, the extra chick or two, but if I thought they were carriers of anything, that would stop.
 
I've heard that if you rub the hurt place with a chicken twice a day it will reduce the pain as well..........lol

-I do hope you feel better soon and forgive me for my dumb sense of humor

Do you set off metal detectors? It's a pain when we have to go into the courthouse, LOL. I have a plate with 5 screws in one bone and two long screws in another. The xray looks like I had an accident with a power nailer.

Sometimes...and in the same way! By the time I'm done, I'll have it in my neck more in my back and more than likely in my knees...lol
