LOL  Sad thing is we don't go to auction to buy birds anymore we buy junk and visit more than anything else.

People don't seem to mind the rain. They are still buying veggies while holding onto their umbrellas.

I would correct you on one thing, though. I don't love my chickens. I like them fine, some more than others, but love none of them. Sooner or later, they are ALL going to end up on a dinner plate, so I go out of my way not to get attached. Ironically, I like my Cornish Cross best, and they are all destined for freezer camp in the very near future.

 

I do love my dogs, though, and don't plan to eat them.

I saw online somewhere, can't remember where now, someone had a kind of apron thing, with pockets in it for dirt, and they had planted things in those pockets and hung it on their a frame. It was made out of a type of landscaping plastic. I was going to try to recreate it using used feed sacks. Worst that can happen is I throw it away.

 I would do a search for Denagard. Nanakat can give you more info about it, shoot her a PM.

 

 When bringing in birds from outside even if you keep them seperated that is no guarentee that they won't get sick. Your flock could be carriers of any number of nasty things that the new birds have not been exposed to.

Greybear,I had the other ice hen setting when I got home and put the eggs under her. Reckon I will be able to tell the ice from the games?

While pricey, Denegard is good to have on hand.   For initial treatment,  16 cc to a gallon of water is easier than mixing up the way the label says.  I store the extra in the barn fridge.  for minimun of 5 days.

For maintenance treatment I use 8 cc per gallon.    Treat for 3 days once a month
