Merry, Spring is here in California. My daffodils have come and gone. Our fruit trees have blossomed and this morning I picked some strawberries. Wish I could send some spring to you. It wonderful. Earlenne

Deb, Thanks so much. We found the hen. Rather my daughter did. It was on her porch steps. Seems the 2 y/o Lab that I knew would kill a chicken brought it home. She is my daughters dog. My daughter does computer workshops and had one for this week end. A woman and her young daughter were just...

My two chickens are DEAD!!! I had a Plymouth Rock rooster that was in rehab after being beat up by another rooster. I called him Joey. And then the RIR hen that I had just put Blue Kote on in a pasture across from the house and next to the barn. I guess when I put the Blue Kote on the hen I...

Yikes! That was an experience! That stuff must sting. She was fine to be picked up, but once I started putting it on, she went crazy. I don't know who got the most of it ....her or me. I didn't get to finish and now she won't have a thing to do with me. I think I will wait a couple days to see...

Justusnak, That sounds like the kind of info I am looking for. Thanks a lot. ef

I am so sorry that after 2 years you got flogged. I have had 2 such roosters. One I think an owl ate one night and I really didn't miss him. The other was a real beauty... a Lakenvelder and he started on me the day he started to crow. My legs were a mess and that was through jeans. I started to...

I have 20 one year old hens. I did have 5 roosters in with them. Three week ago I was finally able to find a home for 4 of them and only have one in there now. I think that was way too many roosters and that accounted for their loss of feathers, Many of them have most of there backs exposed...
