    Hello! Moving to Plainfield, IL and excited to be able to keep chickens!

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow Tell your wife I raise/breed silkies, and I agree she should have about three of them, but I get it with only being able to have 8. Ameraucanas would be my next choice. They have fuzzy cheeks I just adore! My friend @2ndTink has some. Have your wife see this...

    Introduction

    Hiya, and welcome to BYC! :frow We integrate sometimes weekly around here and @DobieLover's ideas work well. Sometimes the "look but don't touch" gets reduced to 10 minutes, but we ensure everyone gets along before just leaving the littles alone with adults. Dual feed stations is a must...

    California Dreamin'

    Hiya, Pam, and welcome to BYC! :frow Good luck with your move. How exciting for you! I'm partial to silkies, but if you can only have five, I guess I'd stick with better layers. I thought about once getting into Speckled Sussex and actually raised a few, but sold them to focus on silkie...

    Lied to about lab work done?

    For DNA testing, I was told what to put the blood in (a drop of blood gathered by clipping a toenail with a sterilized nail clipper). I see they are out of stock now, but at least it gives you an idea of what it is in case you need any down the road. The blood goes in the inside of the cap...

    Review by 'Debbie292d' in article 'Hedges for forage and cover'

    Wow, didn't even realize this article was here but what a great read! Even though we're in the U.S., I loved your list of plants/bushes, and I happen to have some honeysuckle bushes waiting to be planted. I'll reread this again when I have more time and copying down some of the tips and that...

    Poop consult please-- thought I had some cecal poop, but this morning saw red

    I don't think they even should have that differentiation in dosage. Most everyone goes with the severe dosage as we aren't able to test how much of that is in their systems. Some have even started them out with a few drops straight via a syringe or eyedropper, but that's for the ones on the...

    Is this duck egg internally pipping? Day 24

    It appears that way to me. Day 24 though is rather late. Perhaps your incubator is off on its temperature? I hope it externally pips soon!

    Solved Article Review Reply Editing

    Oh okay. I hadn't paid attention to the date. That does seem odd then that we can't delete/edit our own comments like we can on posts/replies. Probably for a reason we'll never know. :) I've seen a moderator delete a comment though for someone else requesting it when they had suggested...

    Chiggers-- Permethrin? Sevin? Or something else

    Yes, permethrin will kill chiggers, and I'd get that as it's also good for mites and lice so probably good to have on hand anyway, plus it's pretty inexpensive. FSL works like DE, slow. They are both considered more of a prevention. We use DE in our coops, and FSL down by the creek to kill...

    Vent gleet?

    Hi, Does it have a bad odor to it, different from their poop? If it does, it'd help confirm it is Vent Gleet. If so, you can buy some generic Monistat (drug stores and convenience stores sell it) and after bathing and patting dry her tush, slather that on and around her vent. You can squeeze...

    You're very welcome. I hope that one's okay and the rest hatch great for you!

    I may be wrong, but the option should be there to delete it ourselves for a certain amount of time, and that's where I believe the PFM comes in.
