    Homeopathic treatment for dog ear yeast infection?

    Entirely grain-free for a few months, minimum, is so helpful. Iams is not my choice of foods. There are much better choices that emphasize quality meats and animal fats over grain. Remember that items such as potato and sweet potato are usually added to grain-free foods but they are "not meat"...

    Norwegian Jaerhon Hatching Eggs ~ 1 doz+

    After 8 years with these friendly birds, I thoroughly love and appreciate my Norwegian Jaerhon flock! They have been very winter-hardy here in the high Rockies. Active, alert and able to fly, which gives them good odds of getting away from predators. I free-range my laying flock in the woods...

    Norwegian Jaerhon

    Jaerhons are a lighter bird than the Icelandics I've seen...and they are more "standardized" (not the wide variety of colors and type).

    Colorado

    I'm offering started Norwegian Jaerhon chicks for sale ~ $12 ea. I *really* love my Scandinavian flock! They are wonderful foragers on our high Colorado forest farm, just a very hardy cold-climate layer. Being a light-weight, agile and alert breed, they are talented at evading predators...

    Hatching at high altitude

    I wouldn't do a dry hatch at altitude. I'd use humidity because, at least if you are getting eggs from a lower altitude, the shells will be more difficult for moisture to penetrate from the get go, so you will need to supply it abundantly.
