    Eggs from chickens treated with ivermectin

    Are eggs from chickens treated with pour on ivermectin safe to hatch? I know they aren't safe for human consumption for 7-ish days after the final treatment. I am just trying to think of some other ways I can use some of these eggs other than feeding to our other animals (dogs & cat). And since...

    Feathers Being Eaten - Mite?

    I wish I would have known at the very start of this what I had going on and only would have had to treat maybe 5...now I basically have 27 chickens to treat...possibly the 5 "babies" too (they are almost 2 months old and have contact, minimal though, with the older chickens). Thanks!

    Feathers Being Eaten - Mite?

    And just to be clear...the Ivermectin for cattle that was recommended is the pour on kind correct? Thanks again :)

    Feathers Being Eaten - Mite?

    I realize this is an old post but...I am wondering if there is a "withdrawal" time for eating the eggs? Also...Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent a mite infestation from returning once you get them "gone"? I finally figured out that the last 6 months or so I have been fighting not...

    Red pullet with dark legs and a single comb...what breed?

    Here she is at ~29 weeks: Apparently the roosters must really love this poor girl :( (hence the bald patch behind her comb). You can see she is roughly the same size as one of my Black Australorp hens on the left. I haven't weighed any of my birds so I don't know if weight-wise she would be what...

    Red pullet with dark legs and a single comb...what breed?

    I suppose it's possible...I don't know what kind of practices Murray McMurray has when it comes to their new additions...meaning I don't know if that's something they do or not before they are available to their customers for purchase.

    Red pullet with dark legs and a single comb...what breed?

    @Brahma Chicken5000 I can, but I'll have to take some pics when I go back outside.

    Red pullet with dark legs and a single comb...what breed?

    Thanks for bringing up the Whiting True Green though...I hadn't seen the new addition yet!!! :D I wonder if they vary as much as the Whiting True Blue when it comes to disposition and such?? I will have to look into them!

    Red pullet with dark legs and a single comb...what breed?

    @junebuggena Except I got this one as a chick last June so I doubt that's what she is. @Brahma Chicken5000 She does look a lot like that catalana...but that's not something that Murray McMurray offers...and like you pointed out she doesn't have white earlobes.

    Which rooster would you keep?

    UPDATE: Both went to the freezer...as did the Cochin. The other roosters were really turning him into a flighty mean thing :( Surprisingly he didn't have much if any more meat on him that the EE roosters did! I guess he was more feather than meat!! @junebuggena I also looked at my EE hen from...

    Red pullet with dark legs and a single comb...what breed?

    UPDATE: The only thing I can rule out with any certainty is Whiting True Blue. She is laying brown eggs :) She will just have to remain a mystery :) That's ok though!

    Suggestions for Fun/Good Hybrids?

    Oh and as far as maturity I am hoping to affect the Point of Lay. I love that the Leghorns consistently start earlier than most(?) other breeds. My one Turken did start laying right around the same time as my Leghorns and she is really so close to what I'm looking for just the way she is, so I...

    Which rooster would you keep?

    Thank you for breaking that down for me, I really appreciate it! I may send you a private message down the road to ask for some help evaluating more roosters so I know how to evaluate them better myself.

    Which rooster would you keep?

    My hen out of the same batch definitely has a pea comb though (I realize genetically speaking she must have gotten the "correct" genes for hers to display as it should). There was only one rooster used to father all the chicks and I imagine the hens originated from the same flock the rooster...

    Hardy, friendly chickens recommendations...

    I've never had them but I just read about Icelandic Chickens...maybe they would be something to look into. Although if they aren't getting to free range enough that may be a problem for them. Here's where I read about them...
