j I'm hoping for some guineas as well!

Is anyone bringing Guinea keats?

While I'm not in charge, I did see the organizer post that she didn't require a list of what people planned to sell.

Yes Please!

I just took my doeling in for surgery today. The original vet did a terrible job. She's my favorite and I'm hoping for a smooth recovery for her.

I'm really excited for Chickenstock! I'm in Boonville so very close by. Gramma Chick, I'd be interested in the purple cone flowers. Things I'm hoping to get... 2 plum trees (can't remember who has those), some EE pullets, plants and herbs. Maybe 2 piglets.

really cute!!! Congrats! The white one with spots *might* be a California White

hmmm, I'll have to give you a definite maybe on that one.

They usually die because they don't have room and can't get out of the egg. There has been a couple of people that have posted about hatching twins and it took intervention to get the chicks out. It was pretty cool though.

Well, nothing is fool proof, but from my experience my biggest chick turned out to be a male. Some people hold the chick upside down and figure the one's that struggle are roosters.

It's not unusal for a new layer. All should be fine!

I've read on a few breeders sites that you can put vaseline on their combs to help protect them from frostbite. I like your sig. The fluffier they are the funnier it gets. I've got a cochin rooster and when he comes running for a treat... oh. my. gosh. it's funny!

Here's the website that I bought them from. Basically they're plastic blinders that clip in their nostrils and keep them from looking straight ahead... at the other chicken's tempting feathers. They can still see down to eat and can get on their roosts...

In my case I had a huge problem with my chickens picking and sometimes eating each others feathers. At one point almost all of them were half naked (they had feathers only on their neck, shoulders, and wings) which looked awful. I bought pinless peepers and they've feathered out beautifully...
