Hm. . . lose all my cool post statistics, or have a cool name.

Oh, my gosh. Probably about $160 total. I had to pay the vet to draw the blood, and that visit was $45 for four hens. Then OSU charged me around $100 to do two separate necropsies.

I should have known better, honestly. I bought my first flock from craigslist when they were all 8 weeks old. The rooster had runny eyes and was sneezing. I asked what was wrong with him, and the guy claimed he had just cleaned the cage and there was a lot of dust kicked up and the rooster had...

What kind of natureform incubators? Just out of curiosity.

I haven't dealt with that disease specifically, but I had to depopulate last year for mycoplasma gallisepticum. I have a zero tolerance for respiratory illnesses on the place. I'll treat injuries, and I'll worm my chickens, but I don't ever want to hear sneezes and sniffles. I definitely...

Ha! I love those. I was grinning through the brooder pics, but when I got to the chicks outside, I just flat out guffawed. Had to take a break before the next one and it got me going again!

Oh, thank you guys SO much! I know this thread is old, but I was looking for info on my guineas' wings. Thought I was going to have to splint all of them!

Now, Ksane, just save me one little blue cochin frizzle hen! Just one! Okay? I promised my husband that this time, this time I really mean ONLY ONE CHICKEN! (And besides he's the one who suggested a mated pair last time. I just had to convince him that a trio or quad would be better on the hens. :D

Blue frizzle cochins!? I can settle for blue. Definitely. :) How old are they, how much money should I bring? I have a Buff bantam cochin trio and a black silkie hen she'll be living with. That should work, right? Oh, I wonder what color buff over blue will make.

Oh, wow. I hope they will do that for me. I just messaged a mod and asked them about it. Couldn't find it in the FAQ.

"Redneck entertainment" LOL! That's true. That mirror has been a source of endless entertainment for me. This video is of one of the male guineas fighting with himself in the mirror. He was bottom man on the totem pole and everyone else beat him up. He would wait until they all went inside to...
