and for those who haven't thought to do this already...

Is my "landing page" for BYC, that's what I favorite'd, not the main page. Helps remind me to glance and answer what I can
I'm in the "i don't answer if I don't think I know camp". and the if I think I know, I will answer and tag someone more knowledgable (this is common on the injury/illness thread - I can answer some basics about Permethrins and Corid/Amprolium, leave the rest to the real experts).
The only time...
I log into them (I bookmarked the unanswered thread page, rather than the main for BYC), and have knocked out something less than a handful in the last couple days. I don't consider myself sufficiently knowledgeable to help with mmost topics on this site.
I think Shadrach is on to something here, and not just because I log in to the "Unanswered Questions" search, and there's almost nothing there I can answer - and what I can answer (Feed, mostly) almost always has the same answers...
Why can't they be feed questions, so I could help?? LOL. Done what tiny little bit that I can, and have changed my bookmark to the Unanswered Threads page, to ensure I see the list first thing, every time I visit.
Nabbed a few myself, it appears @LadiesAndJane and I were standing on the same comment, posting at roughly the same time (Drug Store buy).
Many of the posts I've looked at are a pure information offer, no feedback or comment sought seemingly. Simply "look what I found".
I can't claim any credit, most all the last few days have involved either duck breeds I don't own, illness/injury, or "what is this? (breed/gender)" to which my most qualified answer would be "a chicken?"
I did help on two feed questions, both involving Grubblies Farm products. So, credit to...
...and taking it a step further, my Browser shortcut now takes me to "Unanswered" first, instead of forums.
All I can do, time to start the culls I meant to do days ago... Remember the Fallen, they will soon be good eats!
Answered what I could - admittedly not much. My areas of competence are pretty narrow where poultry are involved. But if there's a zoning question or a feed question, feel free to @ me - seems I have a fan base who routinely do so anyways. At least this way, I've officially sanctioned it.
