    (Hopefully) Straightforward Mareks Question

    THANK YOU so much for the reply! This is still on my mind. 3 weeks out from that incident and so far - nothing. I have a small flock - 15 birds outside (and yes, I do keep seramas!) No one else has gotten sick. If they all make it through the winter without incident, am I safe to assume that it...

    (Hopefully) Straightforward Mareks Question

    That's what I'm preparing for. Since there wasn't anything else going on, I'm being cautious and assuming it is that. Am I right on the time frame though? Symptoms can show up from 2 weeks to 6 months? This isnt going to change much for me anyway - its coming up on winter so no new birds in or...

    (Hopefully) Straightforward Mareks Question

    So I had a lame bird last week with the classic paralysis but no other symptoms. I'm unable to have a necropsy done - so the question I've not been able to answer is - how long I would potentially wait before being able to assume its NOT Mareks? If I go 6 months with no other bird showing...

    If it was another breed, I'd be into that! But the seramas are obviously too small and I can't convince my husband to get on board with the Svart Honas black meat!

    I haven't kept up with you nice people in awhile but summers been busy! I've hatched too much and now I'm overloaded, so if anyone has any interest in svart hona cockerels or serama cockerels for that matter, please message me! I'm NW side of the state - 16335. I need to do some downsizing! Eek!

    I have that coop too and I love it! I just use it for a trio of Svart Honas for the meantime, but I love all the access points. I put an extra 12 foot run off of the small door in the front and it's working great. Thinking of buying a second one :)

    NY chicken lover!!!!

    Thad what I was thinking, too. I've totally fixed that problem on a silkie before. :( But 3 hours is just too far for me to get up there.

    http://buffalo.craigslist.org/grd/5596247812.html Hi, New Yorkers! I'm from PA... I have such a thing for seramas... and special needs, too... but can't get to this one anytime soon. If anyone here is interested... I had to pass it on! Thanks!

    Will a broody hen take older chicks (two weeks old)?

    Great thread and story! I just learned this today as well. Had a broody Ausrtalorp on some Seramas which were just far too fragile for her heavy-footed mothering. I took them away and decided to try giving her two about 3-wk old chicks. I locked them together for about 24 hours in a dog crate...

    Even better! Maybe he'll pass some of that sweetness on!

    Little Tykes playhouse converted to chicken tractor

    This is awesome! Nice job. I'm continually scoping out playhouses as chicken coops to get ideas for my eventual one. Right now it's in use by the children, but I figure they'll be over it in a few years and then I get to build my Coop Cottage. Do you have hardware cloth over the windows or...

    I love Instagram! I'll have to check you out. :) Mines a personal account, so only about every 5th post is chicken related. ;) Haha. One fifth... That's about the ratio for my real life anyway... Mines @Larraho

    Possible Injured Leg

    How nice to rescue ex-battery's! Do you have any idea how dire her conditions were? If she was daily in a small pen never moving a lot, it's possible she could have had a strain like you said with any sort of over exertion. If she ran too fast not being used to it, maybe she hurt herself that...

    Loribischof, here's mine! I just took to calling her Meep after all the incessant chirping after her brothers left. :) Isn't it crazy how white she stayed? Looks so different than your boys!

    Look at him!! So cute. Thanks for the pictures!! I seriously love seeing them as they grow. I've got to get a pic of mine for you... she looks so different from the rest of my girls. The kids enjoyed their photoshoot? :)

    7 day old chick chirping a lot, closing eyes often and smaller than rest of chicks

    Corn Syrup would be fine! Same as sugar. It's non-nutritional, but would hopefully give her a little boost. Another easy-to-get-ahold-of option is Enfamil Poly-vi-sol vitamins (without iron) I found mine in the children/baby pharmacy section of the store. Comes with a dropper syringe and is...

    Egg engraving. Ornamental work

    I don't have any leads on this, but I'm very curious! I think your ideas are wonderful and I'm so sorry for your loss! Have you checked any of the sellers on etsy.com?
