Birdman, are you saying the owners of flock in Juneau Cry contracted the chicken flu?

Yah, another bigger chicken facility. It's either out on A or in Palmyra. I will know more later. my mother works for the Co. In charge of the process. They are killing the chickens with the foam, then lining them up in rows on the ground, on site, mulch and wood chips go on top, then when...

Thanks BigZio. I will do that.

Yah, they are in Dodge County. I am in Jefferson. I was concerned I would run into issues.

I just got off the phone with a hatchery in Beaver Dam for my meaties. I can do pick up (because they do a antiseptic boot bath she told me) or having them shipped wasn't a problem either. Did the quarantine end? I'm just going to go about my business and ignore the news like I have been the...

Thanks. I appreciate any and all tips. I do remember Jim saying that now

Getting geared up to start our meaties. I saw Jim ordered all pullets. Jim, do pullets make better meaties?

Terri O, I am happy to read your animals are a bright spot in all this. They sure make their way into our hearts, eh? Makes the chores in sub zero weather, and any other inconvenience all worth it.

I learned our local environmental waste disposal company is in charge of the killing, disposal, and sanitizing of the facility that has the sick birds. I asked how they are killed and if they are to be buried on site. Killing by putting the birds into a container and filling it with fire...

Has anyone heard from Terri O.? I hope and pray she's not burying her flock.

Chicken math is what is is for sure Bizio. I have another 18 going into lockdown Saturday. Yah, we like our New Glarus beer around here. I really hope my family and I can make it to the Bash. Would love to meet everybody.

Cuties, I first put a nipple waterer in the cooler part of the brooder. And Two wood chip collecting red ring waters closer to the heating pad hangouts. When I would go to clean the warm side the chicks all ran to the cooler side and just started to peck the nipple. That was last week. I...

Afternoon all. We hatched chicks. Pretty neat. The two dozen I bought from Terri O did not make it. I fried them with an uncalibrated thermostat. So sad/mad about that. She has some beautiful birds. So I Fixed that and got two dozen more from a lady on Craig's list. Here i s a pic...

Ps. Cute goats!

Hello Everybody. What a nice weekend weather wise. Glad we got to snowmobile the Rock river from Koshkonong Lake to Watertown for a few days before it started to thaw. Saw a few juvenile Bald eagles along with their parents. Came across three dead chickens on the river. Didn't stop to...

Good evening. Hubby and I bought a cpl older sleds this winter. I KNEW we wouldn't get much snow because of that. The trails in our area were open for a total of two weeks. Went up to Price county at the end of January for an extended weekend. Had a very good time. So bring on warm...
