Kathy, are you adding wormer to the water or doing individual doses? I know it works better that way but it is so hard with so many birds.  Plus, I have to ask Michael to help catch them.

I have a little story to tell you.  I set 100 Aloha eggs that traveled from AZ to KS, I was hoping that I would get about 30 or so.  82 are growing.....

But they aren't all going to hatch, right?  pop.gif  Entertaining cuz it's not me. big_smile.png

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

Thats a great video Kathy, but it looks like they are in Southern California.

 

I hope the temp spike didnt kill them all too, what a shame !
