LOL - I only have 2 ameracaunas, both from Whitmore Farms. Actually, its going to be a mix of leghorns, rir's and black copper marans! Only have marans roos left though ...
Oh wow - all of the Amarillo people are here!
I have abstained from ordering any new babies this year - too much going on but I still have one year old hens laying happily in the barn.
Oh I hope that you have a better shift! I totally understand about the prednisone; went to the doctor today and I got an anti-inflammatory shot as well as a z-pack. I seem to catch everything lately ...
Accomplished little today; but dh did get my two year old suburban on a trailer today. Last...
I have two leghorn hens and they are very sweet and quiet; not particulary friendly but not flighty. I acquired them from McMurry as juveniles. I've heard when you cross a blue EE "layer" with a leghorn you will get very blue eggs and a better layer; I only have Marans roos so I can't test the...
Here I am! Its great to hear everyone ... love the funny stories ...
Can't sleep so I am working on a new spring quilt. Lots of quilts pieced together but none actually quilted; can't seem to find anyone around here who is willing and able to finish them.
Our weather in the Texas Panhandle...
Cara - your girls are gorgeous! I'm here in the Texas Panhandle and have been looking for some nubians or kinders to add to my herd. You said something about picking out a new doe at the dairy?
This is a very interesting thread - I gave some eggs to a friend of mine and she announced that out of the ones that hatched two of them were yellow. She just figured something else caught my hens but I seriously doubted that fact. My stock came from Black Copper King. We'll have to see - both...
Oh, hugs! I too have lupus/sle and RA. I DO NOT take any meds now, my choice. I rest, eat as naturally as I can (eggs, dairy goat milk, raise our own beef and pork, gardening) and try to do the best that I can.
Aleve works - don't know if you can take that or not. When I was taking a lot of...
I do agree with you! I think parents are the problem!
We do a lot of volunteer work trying to help out where we can. My problem is that I tend to think in absolutes over some issues. I think if you do drugs, drink, etc. you need to be punished. Many parents here feel that is a cry for help...
Thanks for your reply. No, unfortunately there are not a lot of activities around here for youth. We have an annual parade, some club activities and the 4h program is great but the school is just falling wayward. Its very upsetting and I wish I knew what to do to help.
When I began discussing...
Well, its not just the football program. There are a lot more issues concerning our school district. We have nearly 50 girls pregnant, failure rate at an all time high, etc. etc. Its to the point in school that kids no longer take home their work because they don't bring it back and therefore...
Ivomec or ivermectrin - they have a small bottle of pour on cattle wormer? that you can get at your feed store. Its 5 drops between the shoulder blades for normal sized chickens. Do a search on here for it and you'll find lots of info for it. Many, many people use this to worm their chickens and...
I don't wash my babies, but I do treat them quarterly with ivomectrin drops on their backs. So far, no mites or lice and I've had them for a little over a year.
