    Update 9/7-- Avian Leukosis!

    The disinfecting part seemed to work. I haven't seen any of the symptoms that the last ones had in the new flock. The reason I only have 4 now is we moved to a very rural area in Missouri, and had a raccoon get into the coop. He killed or majorly injured my entire juvenile coop of lavender...

    Update 9/7-- Avian Leukosis!

    It ended up that I was losing 2-3 birds a week. They would be fine, and then the next day they would be dead. At the recommendation of a vet, I ended up putting the whole flock down. I also had to toss a whole incubator full of eggs, and put down 25 chicks that were hatched from that flock...

    I finally got some guinea eggs today. Went down to the Tina small animal auction and there were 2 dozen guinea eggs there. I got them for $5 a dozen. My husband told me to go as high as $10 a dozen cuz he wants guineas bad. Also picked up another 7 dozen mystery eggs and put them in the...

    I've tried craigslist. The closest to me is Kirksville, still over an hour away, but nothing on there. Then went and looked at St. Joe, Columbia, and Kansas City. Everyone that I can find that has eggs or keets are over 1 hr 45mins from me. At this point, I don't have the time to drive that...

Fabric Cutter with 3 dies (brand new, never been out of box, ~$200...

    I am also looking for either guinea hatching eggs or keets. I have a horrid tick problem, and they seem to like me more than any of the animals. It's very annoying and icky! I'm up by Chillicothe.

    Oh, don't worry about it. I don't take much of anything the wrong way, and if I do, well, we are all entitled to our own opinion. LOL. The only problem with the comb is that I hatched these from shipped eggs. I ended up with 2 cockerels and 4 pullets, it looks like to me. They are the only...

    Gee, I really hate being awake at 4am. I guess I get to join the bad comb club too. I just found this on 1 of my 6 week old BCM chicks. I only have 6 chicks so I had hoped that it would skip me. LOL Sorry about the bad pic. I was using my cellphone to take the pic with one hand and trying...

    My husband wouldn't even try that. LOL, he knows that I would find some way to get power to the incubator and it would be safer if he just let me keep the cord.

    Hey, all. I've got about 10 buff Silkie chicks for sale.... again. They range in age from 2-8 weeks old. They are from my show Silkies, though I wouldn't consider these chicks show quality, just pet quality. They are just not what I want for my breeding purposes.
