    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow That is so interesting that where you live, joining BYC, 4H, etc. is one of their requirements. Pretty neat actually! Here's our Learning Center in case you hadn't found it yet, and our Coop Forum if you don't have a coop yet. We're glad you're here!

    New duck mommy!

    Hiya, and welcome neighbor to BYC! :frow You can say that again about the crazy Wisconsin weather...30" of white stuff the middle of March is a bit odd. We have a ton of silkie chickens and three ducks who haven't been out of their coop/house for two days so looking forward to tomorrow to...

    Nobody here apparently, but I'd try your local poultry groups on Facebook too. I got a lot of leads to silkie breeders from there.

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    30" here. Hubby couldn't use the 4-wheeler/plow so did the snowblower. After the plow came through, we couldn't see the mailbox lol. That coop in the back has HWC topped pens so he was worried they'd collapse but it actually started falling through. Chickens/ducks were kept inside.

    Is the site having copy and pasting problems?

    It just dawned on me...after this last Windows Update about a week ago, there are all kinds of issues on my PC. You don't have Windows on your laptop though, right?

    What's the temperature where you are???

    19°F It stopped snowing and is just blowing now. All total from Friday was about 2.5 - 3 feet. We had none prior to that. I took this of our coops yesterday during the storm, from inside the house. :) Hubby plowed in between the storms, but it just filled it back in. I took this just...

    Is the site having copy and pasting problems?

    This is me on a PC, using the Snipping Tool This is just copy/paste: Still trying to paste some text, but still won't work. I've never had this problem before. Been on this site for sixteen years and I've moved text from my files before with no problem. Suddenly, today, I can't do it. used...

    Durvet Ivermectin "Pour On" Dewormer 250mL - can i use on 3+ week old chicks for mites and fleas?

    We have some here, and it's for scaly leg mite treatment about every two years. It can kill the most common worms too, but it has lost a bit of its efficacy, so most use SafeGuard or something else. However, given that you've got it coming, I'd sure use it to worm them. It should kill the...

    Wry neck?

    You're very welcome. And no, if she nor they have any other symptoms of anything, I wouldn't worry. I just can't make a blanket statement that she's not contagious, even though I'm sure she's not.

    Durvet Ivermectin "Pour On" Dewormer 250mL - can i use on 3+ week old chicks for mites and fleas?

    I would get garden powder/permethrin, get the chickens out of the coop, and dust the coop well. Make sure every area any of them are in is cleaned out with fresh bedding first. Bag the bedding in garbage bags and burn it if you can, otherwise, double bag it. For the older chickens, dust them...

    Wry neck?

    Wry neck isn't generally contagous unless she'd had some other illness that caused it. So, whenever you wanted, she could go with the rest of them. Oh that's the vitamin you posted. I thought it was their feed so I sort of ignored it. I don't read German, but what I can decipher is that...

    Permethrin hen flea question

    No. If you need to put some around their eyes, I'd put a little on your finger and wipe it on them. If it gets in their eyes, it can cause irritation and you'd need to rinse their eyes with a saline solution a few times. Your three-week-old chicks got mites, I presume? I'd tend to think...

    Wry neck?

    Hi, That looks like a form of wry neck. It gets other names too, stargazing is one. It's usually curable and I've had a few that were, or we can eliminate most of the issue so they lead normal lives. Ours also get high-quality feed, plus added vitamins/minerals, and every so often, I'll see...

    17th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along

    I have three incubators. Say you put 20 eggs in incubators 1 and 2. Five days later, you put 20 more in, and so on until the first two incubators are full. When the first ones get to day 16 or 17, they get moved to the third one for lockdown, making room for more in incubators 1 and 2. I...

    Debbie's Silkies

    That's Charlotte on the left. Mocha on the right disappeared last year without a trace. In silkies and other breeds, their color is called chocolate.
