    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Thanks, I hope it works for you! It does save us both a lot of stress, I was hand feeding her before I figured that out.

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    She has to eat a special mash. I have to mix in either peanut butter or raw egg in with wet chicken feed so that it's sticky enough for her to be able to pick it up on her own. I do consider it a miracle that she is able to eat on her own, from what I've seen, most crossbeaks with that advanced...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hello everyone, it's been awhile. I've still got my chickens and they're doing fine. Here's my crossbeak hen after her bath. I took her in last year when she was a baby because her previous owner wasn't going to be able to care for her. She's very clingy and has this horrible habit of launching...

    This is Taco, survived a raccoon attack in 2019, leaving permanent damage in her eye. This doesn't bother her and she's still living her best life

    This was Penny. She had the most unique eye color. They were a hazel brown color. Photos don't do them justice

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    Alright, so I contacted them the other day and they passed the information on to the Missouri department of conservation. They're going to look into it

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    I want to but I'm not sure exactly how. Do I call, or can I email them..? I'm just afraid I won't be much help if I can't remember which location I found them

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    I'm also not sure if they're decomposing or not, I didn't get a good look at them as i was in a moving car. It seems they only want birds that died recently tested

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    I have no idea how to report them, I don't remember the names of the streets I found them on :/

    Avian influenza found in South Carolina

    I'm posting here because this is the biggest avian flu thread I could find. Today I saw at least 3 dead hawks on the side of the road in my town. I have never seen a dead hawk on the side of the road before. There are no confirmed cases anywhere near me but somehow I have a feeling that the...

    calling any one from missouri

    My guess is someone tracked it in on their shoes or wild birds slipped into the chicken houses. It'd be way easier for birds to get into a large industrial scale chicken barn unnoticed than in an average backyard coop

    https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/596902-federal-inspectors-confirm-bird-flu-in-missouri It's here you guys. If you aren't already taking biosecurity measures you need to start NOW

    Missouri folks- regarding avian influenza, are we a test out state?

    I think that's a great plan. I was just considering supplements too, i saw some poultry probiotics at the feed store and I almost bought some. I think I will get some for them next time. It definitely couldn't hurt, and I was already planning on planting them a little garden even before hearing...

    calling any one from missouri

    Hey everyone. I have a question. I already asked this in the laws and regulations forum but nobody had an answer. Has anyone here been able to contact the state of Missouri on how they're going to deal avian influenza? Like is it a test out state or will they cull birds without testing if you're...

    Missouri folks- regarding avian influenza, are we a test out state?

    I know they CAN. What I wanted to know for sure is whether they WILL or not. And just because it's within their power to do so doesn't mean it's good or fair. I and other people actually taking biosecurity seriously shouldn't have to suffer because of the government's laziness. And in the end if...

    Missouri folks- regarding avian influenza, are we a test out state?

    No- I don't don't you understand. I understand culling if one or more of my birds is infected. If they were infected with avian influenza then culling would be merciful. If they were infected they were going to die anyway.That is not what I'm trying to stop. What I'm worried about is them being...

    Fair enough. Thank you. Any tips on not making it obvious that I have chickens? My neighbors know I have chickens.

    So I'm guessing you don't know what the Missouri laws are either?
