OMG cutest pic ever! wish I could just open my egg carton and find a dozen little puff balls!

Thanks Ksane, My little polish is looking much better. These little lice/mites were almost white and very very tiny. didn't see any today, I appreciate the frontline tip, that would be much easier than the dusting. How much do you use?

Oh and all pens cleaned and dusted also. anything else I should do?

Ok Tylan 50 given, found some mites on her so up early this morning and every bird on the place got dusted with sevin dust. the Polish is part of a trio so I won't put her in with any other birds but could she pass on the respiratory stuff to chicks if I hatch any? The other two seem fine, very...

Help! One of my Polish hens has some sort of respiratory thing happening. Yesterday she sneezed a couple of times and I thought that was odd but she was up running around and acting normal. Today she is making funny respiratory noises, sneezing and not standing up straight. She did come look at...

I set 7 serama eggs on the 6th! will see what happens.

I would be in for both! and Cathie Sue a swap is inspiration to use up your stash!

I was thinking the same thing, reminds me of my polish girls when they were young.

I am thinning my herd so to speak, so I have a small coop for sale, 4x8 run with a 4x3 or so house. it really needs a new roof before winter but I have used it 2 years without a problem. Has the fiberglass stuff on top for shade. I will have to get pics tomorrow. Let me know if you are interested.

at times I sure could use a farm sitter (although its a verysmall farm LOL) we rely on my husbands cousin but he works so its not always feasible for hime either.

Thanks for the info CJ. I will look at the website and may they have the book on amazon.

was talking about the lady in tulsa that wanted a friend for her red pyle chick

I have 2 red pyle babies that she could have is she wants to come get them. They are about 3 months old. pretty sure one pullet and one roo

Ok all, I need help. I had some polish eggs in the incubator and they were coming along 2 pipped and one even zipped then the chicks died! Is it something I am doing wrong? I have hatched chicks from the roo before but not these hens. I was wondering if it was to much or to little moisture...

Hannah, I am so sorry. My Yorkie, yes I said Yorkie, killed one of my hens. she was red and her name was Lucy. who would have thought that my cute little pup was a killer? but they just do what comes natural, however you can bet that he is never allowed around any birds again! I felt so bad for...
