Can you donate without the license?

So we have less than 150 laying hens and have a good supply of eggs. In Wisconsin you need a license to sell them if only to public/neighbors, which is supposedly free but registration is required. Then if you want to sell them to the neighboring small eatery you must obtain a food processing...

There is, keep searching. I miss my little scissors beak and wish I would have helped her! She was so sweet! Good luck

Either of you figure out the problem? We have several darkhens with the same issue! The white red and gray ones are fine, but the black have feathers missing. I too have treated for lice and mites, several times.

Aww, Thank you! Healthy happy Hens!

Thank you! Very interesting results. I should have known so many tests can be ran and that there are so many bird illnesses! Gee! The birds are much better, and doing a few more days on the vets extended antibiotics to be sure, but much better! Intend to watch humidity levels in coop from...

Thank you?! I think they are recovering now. The vet has been pretty helpful, and they seem to be quieting down. Relief!

That's what I thought as well, but just wasn't sure. If it was gardening season I wondered if they could be put in the ground for fertilizer? But perhaps the drug thing would be a problem as well? Someone told me once to bury eggs when planting tomato plants, for a boost and amazing boost for...

We must have been posting at the same time! Funny! No, I don't think I need any more birds for awhile! Our theory originally was to keep the young layers and sell when over a year,..well, that lasted the first two years! Now, as the hens are mine, I keep them their entire life! This habit...

This vet was a proponent of allowing the hens outside. Fresh air, dry and clean bedding, water, and all things that are good for other animals and people are good for the hens as well! Unfortunately today we are getting a snowfall, again, which they don't particularly care for!:P

It seems the hens are improving, and they seem to be more energetic. The vet recommended continuing the LS-50 for another week assuming the mixture lasts that long. The birds are drinking more, which is also a sign that they are improving! Also, am picking up more eggs each day, and I hadn't...

Will begin some Pro bios-today-thank you! I read the links and thanks for those! I have checked others as well, and the chicken books we have,... I believe the issue started on our end as our coop had too much moisture! Way too much! Temperature changes and no adjustments made on air...

Also, I had thought Tylan was in a powdered form for water as well? And no, all birds are not sick -though some in each coop and group so we thought best to treat them all as all exposed and they have intermixed many times while free ranging and they have cohabitated some.

So do you think the LS-50 is less effective for birds who are not days or weeks old?

internet keeps going down! As it did during this post to reply to you! ugh
