She was here just last Tuesday and it didn't cost me anything to update my AI cert. but she told me that the next time I'm due the state might not be paying for it so...

    I have a bottle of unused tylan 50 lol. I bought it to treat my turkey hen but I culled her instead. I don't use antibiotics on chicks really. I like to use dengard if I do. I use a lot of Corid on the other hand lol. So I can help with those questions. I've been gardening every day but I'm...

    I just had a 100% hatch on 47 eggs. I have an insane amount of chicks right now. Lol. I'm not even into hatching the chocolates yet. They start coming in earnest the middle of the month. I'm going to go ahead and blame @chicken danz since I got these orps from you. Lol

    I had a 4ish foot gopher/rat snake in my house. He ate several chicks one night and I knew it had to be a snake but I didn't catch him at it. My husband thought I was nuts lol. But then a couple nights later as I was falling asleep I heard the chicks sounding distressed and jumped up and ran...

    @KsKingBee can explain it better. I just picked up a pair of white peas today and he told me they have a ridge of noticeable feathers running down their neck when they are female. I didn't know this before today.

    Silkies should be easy to find. My kids loved Old English Bantam Game. They have great personalities and come in a lot of colors.

    @chicken danz This is one of the pullets out of the chocolates I got from you. She's 20 wks in the picture. I only ended up with one cockerel that hatched out clean legged and then grew some fluff on his shanks. But I culled everything that has any shank feathers right out of the brooder...

    My husband and I are originally from MN. We love the winters here. We were stationed in Hawaii for years and so I also love the hot humid summer lol. I'm not saying I don't complain. I hate snow unless it's in a painting and when it starts going over 100 in July I usually spend the afternoon...

    Haha. He sounds exactly like my husband. Seems like I raise a few goslings every spring anyway lol. Now we have 9 guineas. So he lost that fight.

    I personally wouldn't go without a rooster. But if you keep them locked up 24/7 there's really no need. Free ranged at all and I think you'd be wrong not to have one. Just my 2 cents.

    I have a few hens. They aren't laying again yet but I'm up by chapman. There is a guy in Clyde with GFF/Bev Davis lines. I just picked up a few more chicks from him and they are coming along great and are very healthy.

    I love your coop! Cute and well built. I use TONS of chicken wire both over wood and alone and I don't have issues. Lovely coop. :)
