    Managing Heat in Florida Flocks

    We made it through our first summer in Florida heading into our second. I found that the fresh water, frozen foods make the best snacks, also our coop is a carport wired in, open 2 1/2 sides open. We free range and for our bird, we feel they will find the cool spots.

    My other half puts clean out into the garden, he also adds wood ash and Epsom salts. If your manure is concentrated, set it into a place that it can mellow out such as compost area so to rid of the amonia. Often growing up, we took a 5 gallon pail with, cow, hen, and horse (sounds like duck...

    Oxford Maine, Poultry/ Farmers Swap

    Great, glad to see Oxford TSC is back having them, they were really big, especially when we used to put the sign out a month ahead of time. And yes, if anyone had been harmed or whatever, I was informed that it was my own fault, and being a home owner, I did not want my house going to court...

    (Chicken got a cold?) Added Info.(MS/MG,ILT,CRD,NPIP)

    Thank you all for agreeing or disagreeing to the original post that I had compiled, it has brought great conversation. My flock is outside and is exposed to bird droppings, especially migrating waterfowl, song birds and raptors. Most of the time we do not see any signs and I still have 4 of the...

    Scissor beak....fix?

    Hello, Thank you for the talk of Scissor beak, I just adopted 2 "culls" (not "good enough" for breeding) the pullet has the beak issue, the rooster (*L*) has a crooked tail( which isn't in this topic). So, checking in with you folks its given me food for thought and ways to tend to her needs.

    Maine

    Hi folks, long time no see, I haven't even had time to "lurk" and I'm so amazed at the new improved BYC! We are so glad to see the swaps starting up and may be able to get to some that I've only wanted to get to. At this point, its highly unlikely that I'll be doing any swaps at Oxford or...

    Maine

    I would love to make a comment on the terrible attitudes of Mainers, but instead I'll go along with the black head issue that Hoppy mentioned. I have raised my birds together for many years now, placing my chicks together to use the virus that turkeys have that will prevent the Mereks disease...

    Quote: Your right, your a bit to far too! LOL, and the big girls would pick on her as I've heard of a lot of stories that they are to mild of disposition which is great, yet, like my standard cochins, they are mild, but they have the fluff and bone structure to mow down the boogers that want...

    henney penny- Do you need a Polish cockerel? If so, I have a non-show quality fella that could use a good home. He is with his brother and they are fine, yet wish he could be "adopted". Also, I've been looking for a nice Polish gal just to add to my flock. I have not been actively looking for a...

    Maine Swaps 2011

    Quote: I can attest that spook rarely checks her pm box. Yep, so sorry about that, especially in summers, way to much to do, see, smell and process! Or just plain ole don't give a care! No, I do care but this summer I've even neglected my email and at the end of the day, I'm often to tired...
