Sorry Virginia :)

These guys are 14 weeks old so it’s time to find another flock. Father is an australorp and mother is either an Australorp or lavender Orpington. Neither one has shown any aggression. I am located near Smithfield Va. Asking 10.00 each.

I can’t remember how much it cost but maybe under 20.00 or so. I’d have to look it up. But it mixes with water to spray on plants and it did mention cat fleas in instructions. I would use it if I ever needed to. I would just compare it to the strength of spinosad in the elector psp product and...

No emergency here, just a question. I’ve seen many posts that say elector psp is the best treatment for lice and mites on chickens. Price is very expensive though. When I looked up the active ingredient it was spinosad. That sounded familiar so I found a bottle I had bought for gardening and it...

Oh they had been in there for more than 24 hours

Yep I just did that and it said 99 so I bumped it up to 99.5 and then had to set it to day 20. I will have to get another thermometer to put inside just in case. Thank you

I did not know I would have to use another thermometer inside to check it. Thanks for the info.

Yes the top was tricky but snapped it on. I thought if I bumped up the temp it would restart the whole countdown on days left? I guess that won’t matter since it’s marked on calendar though.

No I don’t but it was 99.5 while running empty.

I see this is an old thread but with current posts. I just bought the NR 360 and put the eggs in yesterday, Sunday. I did let the unit run overnight Saturday and temp was 99.5 just like instructions said. After placing eggs in I haven’t been able to get it past 99 degrees. Humidity is at 56%...

I also have had only black australorps and hawks have left them alone .. so far. Ive seen hawks sitting on the fencing looking down at them before but I still run out there yelling lol. Mine have a coop inside a covered run but are let out into adjoining fenced areas (no top.) I do run strands...

My zip is 23430. I went out to lock up the birds and I now have two broody hens! What the heck lol. I’ll try to private message you for details.

Hello, I see I’m a month late here but do you still have hatching eggs available?

Here is a link for IOW home page and from there you can reach animal services. http://www.co.isle-of-wight.va.us/animal-services/

I don't think chickens are allowed in town limits. Maybe try calling animal control? Or the treasurers' office because they are the ones you pay dog license fees to.

I had not heard this. Thanks for the link!

Also look for anything near the fence that they can jump up on to fly over or into a tree branch and then escape! Been there done that lol. One of mine would jump on top of a metal waterer up into a tree branch and then over the fence.

I should have said the magnetic 'shield' is weakening. The magnetic poles are moving. I think we just happen to be living in a time of great earth changes that most never thought could happen...

The magnetic shield is also weakening.

I'm sure if things go that bad there would be a lot of that. The neighbors you share with now would be a start to expand your circle or group. A lot of people have nothing put away and don't plan. Once the shelves are empty they are going to be desperate. Other than family and a small group of...
