Thanks for the welcome backs!
LilRalphieRoosmama - we love this area.... beautiful and some really good people. We came here 5yrs ago from San Diego, CA. Wanted land and a better place to raise our dc.
And people here LOVE *yard* eggs.... we turn people away constantly... our hens can't keep up.
Greetings! I used to be a member 4-5 yrs ago, but somehow got lost....
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
We started with chickens and guineas 5 yrs ago.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Over 100 counting our approx 50 broilers, but we have easily...
We have had chickens for 5 yrs now with no troubles... 6-8 weeks ago a banty hen hatched out some chicks... 2 weeks ago her eyes were completely covered by *growths*? warty looking scales? until she was blind. She died 2 days later.
This was a new one on us, but no trouble with any other...
