    Well we are now at 9-16 weeks with most of our flock.

    I absolutely love these girls! The two Roo's too.... :love Many in the flock are twitching their heads so I'm going to make a spray of garlic, water and essential oils and spray them down. Does it help to spray nesting boxes as well if using a bit of dish liquid in oil and water?

    Thank you and sorry for the mix up on the batteries....She's not very friendly but I keep working with her. When I am out with them, the E.E.'s and my SFH, Dottie Boo keep running up and pecking at my legs. They will squat when I reach to hold them and they don't try to run off like others. Are...

    I am completely wrong about the hatchery. Maggie May came from MT. Healthy Hatchery, Cincinnati. She is 14 weeks. The Lavender Orpington is 16 weeks and came from Meyer. Same shipment as the Brahma Roo, Hawkeye.

    I definitely will email the hatchery and find out. She is a beauty, for sure. The Lavender Orpington is 12 weeks old. I'm a newbie so I'm more book learned than hands on so any advice or observations are so welcome. Thank you
