Are you in Lancaster?  I'm not sure if there is a club in your area but if there is, that is a great source of information.  Contact you Clemson Ext. office.  They should know where the closest club is.  It would be worth while to attend even if it is a long drive.

 

Also there are a lot of good books available.  

 

yes there is a club in the area i will check out. ANd i live near the Dixie Bee and Supply.

anyone know how much duramycin-10 should i mix to a gallon of water? for a smaller rooster?

It is 1-2 teaspoons a gallon...I would go 1 for a smaller Roo(bantam) but I believe most do 2 tsp day one and 1 for next 4-6 days...What are you treating?

Wheeeew!!  I finally caught up on all the posts.  

Lauren the pics are great.  Hope you are doing better today.

I had so much fun and learned a lot at Newnan.  Kimberly is a walking talking encyclopedia of silkie info.  Nicole is cute as a button and as smart as her mama.  

I absolutely drooled over all the great silkies.  Tried to buy a couple of the buffs in the show but no luck. 

I did get eggs from Mary Robbins.      8 of them are buffs.  

We had to make an unplanned trip to Iva today (at least for me).  My dh came back by our property from a fishing trip Fri.  He did not tell me until after my Newnan trip because he did not want to interfere with me enjoying my trip. (He can be a sweetheart at times  ) 

Someone had made a 4 wheeler track on our little field and even had a chair set up for a spectator.  Someone had also cut 3 trees and taken the wood.     We went down and posted the property.  The county deputy came out and made a report and said they would start checking the property.  My brother-in-law did have his camper down there but brought it home in the late summer.  I guess someone decided to use the property for their own enjoyment.

I have several blue over blue orp eggs in the incubator.  Almost all of the black over splash and black were not fertile so I pulled them out of the bator.  The blacks are half english---hugh, and fluffy.  I am going to have to do some major trimming of butt feathers.  I already lightly trimmed a month ago.  I know he is trying.

I also pulled out all the white silkie eggs that I was checking for fertility.  Not a one was developing.  Darn!!!!  I will do a little trimming there too.

A place like Dixie Bee and Supply will be a good source of bee info, contact info for local beekeepers as well as bee supplies.
