Oh sounds like I need to get to Atwoods I want some Guineas and I also want some barred rock pullets, still looking for a good RIR roo.

Hi all, I have missed hanging out here but since our move to town it has almost been painful to get on here and see what everyone is up to. We did keep all of the kids birds and a few of mine. We have lost some to city dogs, grrr. But we will close on our new house in Jones tomorrow!!! 5...

Thanks Kass we are watching him close because they can't treat him with the antibiotic they wanted to because of his liver issues. The culture they did came back resistant to the first antibiotic he was on so we are using their third choice of meds. Thankfully it is on his toe so I can can...

Oh my Kass that quilt is beautiful!!! I am trying to catch up on reading. Today was a busy chicken day for us. Got all the pens cleaned and put out some poultry powder the birds loved the chance to be out of their pens and on the grass to pick bugs and dust bathe. Also everyone got a dip in...

Spunky, that is good news about your husband. Praying it is contained to just that one area. MD Anderson is the best place for cancer patients. Robin that is great news on your roo! I need to get some of the vetRX stuff to keep on hand. Well Mr Red is back to a red comb and doing great...

Been a busy few days here. I can't wait for fireworks season to end. Eag year it seems harder and harder to keep up with the house, work and the stand. I did enjoy a day away from the fireworks Saturday working the CPN Festival. Down fall is I came home with hardly any voice left from...

That would probably be good if you did just know that treating with antibiotics will possibly make the thrush worse. Can you treat birds with Gention Violet or Dyflucan?

Thanks. I will stop at Atwoods this week and pick up what we need. I was going to treat this weekend but with fireworks going it is to busy. So it will be next weekend.

Been busy between running the fireworks stand, work and helping dh with his work and of course the birds. We ended up with over 40 chicks hatched by Broodys and have a OEGB and a duccel that have gone broody this week. The poor girls. Mr Red is doing MUCH better. I wasn't holding out to muh...

We have a bantam buff brahma that is raising 22 chicks on her own. She hatched 8 and the others she adopted from Kurt's blue bantam Cochins they hatched them then started to kill the chicks off by pecking them. So we took them away and gave them to the little buff brahma. She is a force to...

I feel for you. It took is driving to the auction to get our measly $12.xx from a bad check. I do believe they mean well but this has gone on to long It shouldn't have taken almost 2 months.

Some chicky prayers are needed. Nathanael's mr Red isn't well. He had mites two days ago and we gave him a bath in Adams flea and tick soap. Sprayed the coop and his girls. But he is going down hill still. His poor comb is blue on the edges. We don't know how old he is but he is Nathanael's...

UGH that was us a month ago!!! We finally settled on the Hyundia Sonata for what we needed but I recently needed to have it in for service and they loaned me a Mazda 3 and I LOVED that car! It was getting 38MPG and that is a mix of hwy and in town driving! Now the back seat was to small for...

thank you Nana, Kass and Shelby for your great gardening call! I can plant and grow stuff but not real good at figuring out what odd stuff is. My dad was a master gardner (graduated from OSU) but it didn't rub off on me sadly. Now I wish I had taken more interest in his gardening projects...

What kinds do you have? I have a friend looking for some EE layers and might be interested in some others.
