On more positive news I want to say I have had the best shipped egg hatch ever on Wallis easter egg shipping method.
I want to talk about how awesome it is on the great egg shipping experiment thread. Does anyone have a picture I can ninja?
I understand these are all highly volatile topics and people are upset. But please let's not get the thread closed.
Can we take some deep breaths and move on?
For co broodies just be sure the hens don't see each other as a threat. I had a friend who had one broodies kill all the chicks of the other. The aggressor was so aggressive they had to rehome the second bird.
My broodies puff up and yell at each other but a lot prefer to have a friend to...
Are you saying its not warm?? ( tee hee)
I have had a mite issue here too. I get them all gone and then since they free ranges they pick them back up. I put more de on all the favorite nesting spots. How do you make your anti bug essential oil concoction? I'd try it!
oh, I missed that question. I wait 10 days unless I'm desperate, never had a 10 day hen reject chicks. I remember someone saying gunieas ignore mothers, however, but I have not seen it so IM not sure if it is true. I also heard they eat each other, and have not seen that happen...

It worked better with my silkies when l was...
I know I have been impressed with your communication. I have not seen people being unhappy with it, but mind you I have not seen the PM'S.( Autocorrect, why do you hate me??)
My 2¢.
Just got my showgirls from cj! None are bearded, 2 are clean necked, all are bigger then my girls. They are all up in the roosts and complaining to each other after the trip. They did not stay stressed for long, lol.
I know I always say my showgirls are more fiesty then your average silkie...
All I make that are really good are chocolate chip cookies. I think they were the first thing I learned to cook. I thought you had to make your own butter and flour to be made from scratch.
Now I want batter....
I would not keep or breed a mean rooster unless the breed needed every sperm. I'm with mrsmooncat, but if you want something you can work with NOW, id cut your losses and move on. This reminds you I have to send you a PM about chicks, I think I waited too alte and we should go for fall. Weather...
