What a bummer danz. I'm wondering now if my guineas that decided to sleep on top of the coop last night survived the owl that is constantly hooting back there.

The best thing you can do is Not to panic. Its specific to the worm how they kill the chickens and it is not a fun read about how. They will act lethargic for a few days while they recover. The damage isn't already done, they can spring back out of it. I have a chicken that I call the...

Happy Belated Danz! I spared everyone here my winter panic yesterday! I was going to post about how my native Kansan intuition was screaming that winter is coming! I am ok for winter, the birds will survive, but that is not my plan. My plan is to build at least 7 pens and runs before...

I really was amazed by your work Danz. Love the ideas and will have to come back for a work day to help sometime! You definitely deserve a break even if it's unwanted. I will absolutely return the favor on the breeders when i find another line and build some pens. Can you add eggs into a flock...

I am going to eventually write a build thread but ill send a pm for now :D

I did build one and I have some kind of sickness because I continue to think of building more. My first hatch went ok but humidity wasn't easy. I have now completely waterproofed the wood and it's time for a new test because I got 10 eggs from ChickenDanz. This time around i'm going to build a...

I wanted to say that I went to Waverly and traded with Danz for some chooks. She is such a nice person and I was overloaded with all of the cool birds lol. I decided this year to start breeding some Lavender Orpingtons and the roosters that I got from Danz are going to have me off to an amazing...

I wish i had known people needing net. Tsc had 7'x100' 1" bird netting rolls for 19.99 on clearance and i called some people but nobody wanted some.

Congratulations TerraBellaBirds on the NPIP!

Some things that grow really well for me are, edamame soybeans, cucumbers, tomatoes, summer squash, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, carrots, dill, mint (cant get mint to stop) You will find that you can grow almost anything in Kansas if you can take the heat. Broccoli still eludes me but...

Welcome! I got several of those breeds from heartland hatchery at local chick days. The way i find the chick days has always been by checking craigslist. For example: next saturday http://kansascity.craigslist.org/grd/5123447619.html That said it seems that we have a lot of good breeders even...

My chickens had first eggs like that or with a leathery shell. Do you have some pullets that are close or is this happening from hens?

I had to go let the birds out early because of this heat and found a barred cochin bantam hatchling.   I wonder if mother nature is the true mother to this chick because the coop is about 99.5 lol Alas after giving it to broody and moving them to the mother and baby coop I spent about an hour...

I have never used misters to cool my birds but i used them to water seedlings in my greenhouse that the birds live in. And i can tell you that the mist definitely cooled it off. I used some mister nozzles from amazon or something screwed into 3/4" pvc and with the auto draining valve they...

What i did was start with a silver seabright bantam rooster, now every rooster seems docile to me because he had a napolean complex.

If the buff is nice stick with the buff. If you were to get rid of the buff the easter egger might just become a jerk. But really other than that personal choice and even eenie meanie miney mo have been my methods. :D

Made it through the heat ok. Hoping everyone is doing well out there. I am in the middle of my first hatch day. My broody splash marans even hatched an egg 2 days ago before my eggs were due to hatch just to beat me to the punch(what a sneak)! When i went to check on the flock I found that an...

Danz i wont call them Orphingtons i didnt know. in retort though as all should know. Its http://www.orschelnfarmhome.com/ not orschlens. I make a great many mistakes constantly this removing the h thing is going to take me a bit forgive me :D

I have climbed over my design/build mountain and will finish my incubator tonight. I'm going to set some lavender orphingtons next week. Happy thursday to you guys hopefully these peahen and chicken expiring issues will work out today as well. Wishing you the best!

I found the information interesting and since Danz spent the time to explain i spent the time to digest it. (I used the click if you think this is helpful button bravo!)
