    Disrupted schedule in worming treatment - now what?

    Thanks for your quick reply. My worry was that the roundworms would rebound with the delay in treatment, and the Valbazen treatment on day 15 might overwhelm their system when shedding new roundworms and other worms if they are present.

    Disrupted schedule in worming treatment - now what?

    My small flock of 14 month old chickens had round worms. I treated with Wazine 11 days ago, and had planed to treat them with Valbazen yesterday (10 days after the Wazine treatment) but it did not arrive in the mail. Now, due to scheduling issues, I will not be able to treat using the...

    First Egg Countdown

    Congratulations everyone on their first egg(s)! My BO starting laying a little over a week ago and has only missed one day. Still waiting on my EE, BA and Wellie. The BA is a very dramatic squatter, but has not produced...yet. The EE and Wellie aren't showing any signs. They are all a...

    Thank you for this. I need to think about a gutter before our PNW winter. I've a new run with a covered and sloping roof. I've was thinking I'd up plastic sheeting on the back so the splashing doesn't become a muddy nightmare - but a gutter is better idea. I need to jump into action. My fall...

    First Egg Countdown

    What a beautiful hen. She is looking mature and I'm sure an egg is just around the corner :) Watch for the squatting. For me, I bent down and reached my hand out for to pet and my hen(s) squatted as if for a roo. I saw eggs within the same week - some say they will lay within two weeks of...

    First Egg Countdown

    Good advice. My little EE is a real charterer. She has shown no squatting behavior yet - hence my guess she may be last to lay. The BA and BO squat every time I stop to say hi :) Still, I am open to a green, blue or pink egg anytime! This is my EE Rose.

    First Egg Countdown

    First egg yesterday from my Buff Orp and today -- a second egg. Ruby an April 6 BO. Head of the pecking order and a sweet girl. Still waiting on my BA, Welsummer and EE. We think the next chicken to lay will be the BA, then Welsummer, and last the EE. Time will tell. .

    Review by '' on item 'Orpington'

    She is by far my favorite of my five hens. She loves to be held and when I'm in the coop, she leans on me until I pick her up. She is the last one out of the coop. The others fly out and she stands in the doorway, sizes things up then walks down the ramp. She is liked by the flock and she...

    Review by '' on item 'Welsummer'

    She is very calm and is neither on top of the pecking order or on the bottom. She likes to forage yet seems content in the run. As a chick, all she wanted was to be held- she would fly over the brooder wall, land on my lap and sleep. Now a young pullet, she doesn't mind being held, but no...
