Bc of the weekend it probably won't get here til Monday. In the meantime I'm giving them acv and garlic. Idk if that will help any.

did you get some medicated feed?

I may be interested in them but first have to find out what is going on since the landlord is selling the house.

I didn't know you were renting. My sister is going through the same thing only her landlord is behind on the taxes and doesn't care. Have you checked to see why they're selling? Maybe see a lawyer and work out a deal. ( Don't do anything with out a lawyer.)

So - my first ever hatch! I ended up with 12, 1 died & 1 is looking 'iffy'. I had a hard time keeping the temp & humidity steady. sooooo - went and bought a Brinsea Eco 20 with auto turner

. Should be plenty big enough for what I need...

Oh how adorable! !! What are they? I'm so excited. My first eggs are in a friends incubator as of night before last.

You evil chicken enabler's are making it impossible to stay with a small flock. My "hobby" now has 3 coops and growing.

Every time I think " ok that's enough for this year" someone shows me another beautiful breed.

Oh no! Everyone should have them in their flock!

I agree I love them they are so sweet and pretty but I need the room for my main loves the Orloffs

They are a neat looking bird too. Remind me of the speckled sussex a little.

These are the Mille Fleur D'Uccles - they really are pretty. Already eating out of my hand...

Don't think my mother in law believed me on the pig. Told the wife 'are you sure he didn't see a bear'...I know what a pig looks like...she called yesterday and said it was spotted a mile down the road from us rutting a old hay bale in a field. I might have to invest in a electric fence if there is more around. I don't think you can pig proof a run/coop.

Have you or anyone in the neighborhood reported it to the DEC? They will come trap it if they can locate it.

There's a link for a list of regional offices down at the bottom of that page. Those wild bores are a big problem... I hope it doesn't stick around!

Super cute! You will love the brinsea. I jumped to the mini and then to the cabinet. Really helps with NY weather.

I had wild boar stew when I was in Sienna. It was delicious. But it is a regional specialty, I would not know how to cook it!
