First post on the new site - hi everyone - I missed my daily check in reading the NY threads of the 'chicken people'
Little confused why in my 'watched threads' the NY Chickenstock one is still listed there, but the NY chicken lover one has vanished? (Checked categories for those with unread posts and those with nothing new). When I did a search I kept getting warnings about the 'security certificate' of the site not being valid. I eventually found it by backtracking in my account to show one of my previous posts, and found 3 new pages of messages... when I go to the very bottom of the page the check box for 'follow this thread' is checked.... anyone a bit more computer / website savvy than me have any suggestions?
Lots to catch up on, exciting to read of new hatchings, sorry about ridiculous lack of customer service for the blue birchen maran order, and glad to read sickly new young chickens responding to electrolytes, probiotics and supportive care. Sad I have to work and can't make it to Chickenstock.
Still adjusting to being down to just 3 chickens, missing Miss Pearl, and interesting to see the shuffling of pecking order. Have been looking back through old pics of her - love this one from Feb when she had some snack debris on her beak which Fern was quick to help herself to!
Sadly no luck at all with finding a pair of younger chicks to add (was hoping for young enough to go straight outside, 2-6 months, of different breeds to mean I could add a blue / green egg layer, and maybe a dark brown egg layer. Maybe lighter colored birds like buff or lavender, as my remaining chickens are darker colors). Think I may have to revise my plans and get the young chick brooder under lights set back up in the basement. Please keep me in mind if any of your flock plans change, or you have extra birds left after Chickenstock.
Glad site is back up and running!
