Need some help, friends... I seem to have worms in my flock. I've spent most of my Sunday following around poopers to see who has the overload- So far, just one OE 9 week old and two hens... I'm afraid it looks like tapeworm segments but want your expert opinions... What do I do now? I assume I...

@MotorcycleChick @BantyChooks @mlm Mike.... Thanks for the advice! I checked out the broody thread, waited until she was off her nest and moved her the eggs to the nesting box on the ground... I kept putting her on until she realized it was her clutch. I must not have put enough shavings in...

Morning!!! Does anyone have advice on how to move a broody? The eggs are on day 18 or 19... We are going out of town Wednesday (hatch day), naturally. I have a rabbit hutch I think I can move her to...or should I go get a wire dog crate?

Like trimming my nails... A Dremel- too funny

Thanks- I like clicky things... Didn't realize they could be pulled off! Yeah- we read about dry hatching the first 18, but, we are basically a desert now here in Southern Cal and my humidity gets down to single digits at times... Over of the BCM thread people are advising 40%+!

I'm not at the point I need to, but, how do you trim spurs? Do they have blood vessels to be wary of? Also, I'm getting a few Wellsummer eggs with a dozen BCM. @Jessimom and I (mostly her because she's awesome) are trying to unlock the secret to dark shell hatching after an 0 for Marans hatch...

Thank you! Thank you, too, @MotorcycleChick @BantyChooks for the birthday love. I can honestly say I've never started any birthday with a rooster execution... The deed is done. **** he was still beautiful even lifeless... I might go vomit now.

Lol- love the picture! We had a graduation party to get to last night otberwise he would've been gone then, yes. I kicked him to the wall so he could think about things for a bit (did mention I played soccer at U.S.C.?)... My resident lynchman, our neighbor, is on his way over now. Big Handsome...

Our beautiful Biel roo just attacked our 6 year old... She told me he did it yesterday too- I didn't believe her and had her go in the run where he couldn't see me. He's only 4 months old, with no spurs yet. He indeed came around the run, right for her, with his hackle feathers puffed and his...

I would try to use a small disposable Tupperware, or margarine container with holes in the bottom...and no lid. That way, if it explodes, it'll hopefully be more contained.

BTW- anybody have Welsummers? What do you think of them?

@MotorcycleChick- I spent 6 months trying to set hubby up with two other girls because he was two years younger than me and I thought I was too experienced and wise... Lol We will celebrate 11 years in a couple weeks. @Chaos18- so glad your dad is ok... My old age is setting in and I...

Haha- very funny No coffee on board here... Yet. He was early, btw. My neighbors must love me. Things have been good here, thanks for asking... My mom is still, well, we all are still, struggling over the sudden loss of my great dad in September. She lives nearby and my girls are very fun at 5...

Except now it is almost 4:45 am here...and time for 'Big Handsome's wake up call.

Finally got caught lurking! Good morning @Chaos18.. Been up since 1:45am here in Southern Cal. Ugh!

Ditto

Be sure to take a picture of "Walter" for us!

No trauma that she knows of. She's handled her in the bath and she didn't act like she was in any pain.

Hi friends- long time no post... Sorry. I'm posting this for a friend and will cross post in the emergency thread... Her Amercauna has separated herself from the flock, finding a shady spot and is sleeping during the day. She soaked her and checked her vent but doesn't feel anything. Her crop...

Thank you! I wasn't including one in my original plan, but, my friend I get my eggs from is getting rid of her rooster once she collects eggs for me to hatch one more time... They're beautiful and I don't want to lose my source... I'd also like to bring in a different bloodline, if anyone has...
