Good morning folks It's Friday at last and I for one am in need of a long weekend .............. a very long weekend but I'll take what I can get. Hope everyone has a great day and weekend

Remember to trim only one wing so they will be off balanced. Glad the pullet is okay. On wounds we use blue kote if it is a small wound and triple antibiotic salve if it is a large wound. Blue kote will dry the skin edges of the wound so is not the best choice for larger wounds. Give her some...

Yes. I have had hens go broody several times a year. I find that if they lose the chicks most often they go broody again quickly. This is one way to get broody hens to incubate eggs but you have to watch to make sure they eat and drink enough and often.

Good morning folks And so it begins again......got my new bus route and bus yesterday and it all starts tomorrow with the college program high school students. All the rest start on the 25th......summer is over for me. The birds have started to molt here.....at least some of them...

There are several BYC folks in and around the Fayetteville area who have birds and eggs. The problem is BYC does not allow us to 'advertise' here so you will have to message anyone you want to ask about eggs.

Welcome to the new folks.....glad to meet you It has been one hot summer but I'm happy that a good many of the hens are still laying. I do expect that once they start molting the egg production will drop. I just hope we still get enough eggs for eating. The place will look like there was...

This does look like an egg inside an egg.......but hard to be sure from pictures. Another idea with the "register all flocks".....they know who to tax for egg and meat or bird sales. They have no way of protecting flocks other than to kill flocks near any suspected flocks. Also this may...

Looks to be a blue wyandotte cockerel.

Rooster every day of the week. If he is 4 months old and has wing bough color already as well as plenty of saddle and hackles along with those sickles, how could anyone miss that is all boy. Pretty one too.

This is true but for bio-security reasons I will still meet buyers off my property and at a local parking lot. It's all about protecting my flock.

You also need to be mindful of HOAs when shopping about. I do know of place for sale up the road from me in the Linden area......actually a couple of places. One I'm sure would allow most anything and the other I'm not so sure. Good luck in your search.

to the new members BHep might still have some silkie chicks for anyone looking.

Good morning folks and welcome to all the new folks Turkeys are seasonal layers and some folks who have them, their birds may have quit laying for the year. I have Calico Sweet Grass turkeys and some mixed breed turkeys. Mine are still laying but I expect them to quit soon with the coming...

Birds with mites, we put the ivermectrin on all areas where the mites are and around vents, crests if the bird has one, under the wings. We use a small syringe and apply a drop in each area that has mites. If the bird has mites over the entire body, we dip the bird in a solution of 8 oz liquid...

so sorry sbrooks......hope the other one stays safe. We haven't gotten many spiders yet but there has been quite a few snakes including copperheads which is unusual for us. Just last week the DH called for DD#2 and me to come help him get one from his work area next to the chickens. It...

Good morning folks and welcome to all the new folks It's great to see so many new folks here and so many people getting into chickens as well. Our kids enjoyed the chickens while growing up and now the grandbabies enjoy them. And yes......we are seeing a bit more snakes this year...

Good morning folks and welcome to the new ones Either the girls have started to slow because of the heat or we have a few egg eaters in some pens. I'm not sure what turns a hen into an egg eater but we usually find out which hen and she becomes dinner. We have never had any luck in...

Good morning folks Going to be a hot one again.......a little rain would help with the trees and grass. hope everyone has a good day
