I was pretty sure that I was a member here :) Great pictures. I think I could do this. I remember reading about sewing the wool in cheesecloth to keep it from shifting. I will be home in a few days and look on the computer. I know how to wash wool but I haven't done it. I usually send it out...

Quote: That's not exactly true. I know for a fact they have my results and have spoken in depth with their vets in Iowa and have been working with MN. Seeing as my chicks are part of a hatchery born illness, they are now determining what to do according to the owner. What they don't have is...

I spoke with MM this morning. They do not have an factual diagnosis yet. They are working on it. I have purchased from them forever and will continue to do so. I have another order coming and I am not going to cancel it. Personally, I am getting ready for some major price hikes in...

We have 2 Boxers, an English Bulldog and 3 LGDs (Maremma X Pyrenees). We adore our Boxers but they were a disaster with chickens when they were younger. They are almost 8 years old now and can be trusted with the chickens. IMO, everything exists to be a toy for Boxers. They are happy...

I have ordered from MM since 1993 and it has always been a positive experience. I ordered 26 Dominiques. I usually get 50-100 chicks and have had a few DOA but they are usually all very healthy. I will order from them again. I just want to know what went wrong this time. I am 60 years old...

My sick chicks are no worse this morning but really no better either. I spoke with MM this morning. They will refund my money or replace my Dominiques. They are aware of the problem but had no answers for me. They were concerned and courteous. They said to continue with electrolytes and...

My new chicks (from McMurray) arrived March 1st. I have been raising chicks for 50 years with no problems. Everything was ready. They settled in nicely in a stock tank in the corner of the kitchen. They were eating, drinking, growing and acting completely normal. They were ready to go to...
