Just got done bathing chickens. They are all in my garage while they dry out. 7 boys 2 girls. I shut off all the lights so the boys would shutup! See some of you at the show, I hope!

And now... in unrelated news..... My family all went to bed early, and I haven't done a late night 'spend time with the chickens' session in a while, so I went out with my flashlight and put clear covers over most of the coop windows with the wind blowing so bad, because it blows right on them...

Quote: The. Middle one almost has colring/patterning. Like a silver campine or an Egyptian Fayoumi. I like the birchen one the best for looks too! But I'd pick for personality.

Once you are in the Npip program, you will get a book on sanitation practices and the different diseases that are monitored. You will be given a book of Npip vs9-3 forms which allows you to comply with many states requirements for selling hatching eggs/birds in their state. Some states still...

Quote: Fluffy and his girls have settled in nicely! He is something else and already protective of his harem. But we all had an exciting trip home... we had a hit and run by a deer. The driver side of my hood, headlight & windshield and the side mirror and doors on the driver side are all...

davony's chicks : I think you are right. It is just hard to sell them all. I will probably end up taking them to the next Keytesville sale. I sold a lot of them there last month when I knew I had to scale back before we moved. What kind of prices were bantams bringing up there?

Quote: Would really like to attend this with my daughter as a field trip for her 4-H project (and maybe to pick up some birds...don't tell DH that part). I've searched online and can find zero info other than the date and location. Do we need to join APA before hand for any perks? Can we...

Hey is anyone else entering poultry at the Missouri Poultry Association fall show on Oct 22 at the Missouri State Fairgrounds? I'm bringing a couple d'uccle pairs to sell, and 9 d'uccles to show.

Quote: Welcome! I work in Columbia and live in Jefferson City. I also have the broody curse in my bantam hens right now. The mud is so bad in my chicken run from having goats temporarily last year, that I've been using my chicken tractor as a safe place to grow grass by keeping the...

Oh, the drizzle. Yuck! Chicken chores in the mud again!

Quote: Julie it was nice meeting you and your children. My kids loved having playmates and putting off naptime! I hope you enjoy the d'uccle pair and have a good first time hatch! Teddi

Quote: Nah, if you don't have too many to count, you're okay!

Quote: I'm going to the Circus on Saturday here locally, but what kind of birds are you looking for?

Quote: I wonder! She is THE biggest hen I have, and she is super fluffy too. She seemed better tonight. Not as much gulping for air. I really need to clean the coop so they're not gulping tons of dust. Time has been so scarce which is why I am trying to cut down my chicken numbers. When...

Quote: My biggest Jersey Giat hen is having a hard time with the heat, and I'm half tempted to trim her fluffy feathers she is panting so hard! I heard Brahmas have a hard time in the heat too. I sprayed water in the chicken run hoping mud will cool off the area around it. Maybe I can...

I am definitely not liking how these gas prices are curbing my chicken habit!!! The answer is always 'yes, I want to buy some chicks'. But the reality of my hobby expenses going way up is putting a damper on things. I'm even advertising 3 of my young Langshan hens as we have more eggs than we...

Quote: Ha ha, you could just buy the porcelain d'uccle trio I just listed on Craigslist....... Honestly, what are you going to do if all of them hatch?????

Quote: Whoa there! Almost 1000! Should we start calling you Muddy Horse Hatchery?

Quote: Hey Mary Beth, the state tester is coming to my house on the 18th of this month. Call 573-522-0000, ask for Tony Perryman, if he is not available, tell them that you want to become NPIP and need to set up a time for the tester to come out and test your birds. He may be able to do it the...

Yes it really helps if you have your birds all rounded up in cages and next to your testing table. You have to be able to hold your bird to where they can fan out a wing and poke it with their testing needle. I did my NPIP testing in February and had enough cages for about half my flock, but...
