    Choco. Small eggs are a bummer, but it's not all about the eggs. Cheers, Carl

    Beekeeping

    Two years ago I had bees in my chimney. I had to tear apart the top of the chimney, climb down, and clean house. I removed at least 30 lbs of homey comb and wiped out the hive. That was my first experience around bees. They are pretty intimidating when ticked off! These were pretty docile...

    DIY chicken coops

    My chicken coop was based on using an old 8ft sat dish as the roof. It has worked great for us in SoCal. My girls just sit in the rain though rather than get into their nesting box. Cheers, Carl

    I have an 8 month old rooster that needs a home. He is a cross between a Barred Rock rooster and a Golden Laced Cochin hen. Very pretty and will continue to look better as he matures. Cheers, Carl

    Great link! Thank you. I ended up treating them all with Sevin. No eggs until Halloween. Maybe they'll go broody. Cheers, Carl

    Bump. Any treatment ideas assuming it is some sort of infestation? All my girls are laying so need to now if treatment means discard eggs.

    Looks like parasites to my amateur eye. Anybody know what it is and how to treat? Should I treat all of my birds? (6) Cheers, Carl

    VIDEO OF CHICKS

    Okay, Here is a video of a chick hatching. I didn't edit down the video so it's a bit longer than it needs to be but, nice time lapse of a hatch. You can see the chick zipper the egg.

    Repurposed 8ft satellite dish...

    8ft satellite dish makes a great roof. May not work everywhere but in coastal San Diego this works great. I keep between 4 - 8 chickens in there. They free range during the day.
