    Is This Mites?

    We just bought a new pair of chickens at a swap meet. Obviously we did not look at their feet. Is this mites? I have read to treat it with vaseline and warm water. Is that right or am I totally off base? Thanks.

    Total Failure

    Finally had to admit defeat and unplug my bator. Ordered 18 eggs from two separate BYC'ers and not a single one hatched. It was my first time ordering through the mail. I knew the hatch rate would be low but 0%? That's crazy. Now I am scared to order more. Someone please tell me they have had...

    Bags to freeze them in?

    I am butchering in 2 days and realized that I do not have bags to store them in. Any suggestions? I know that they will not fit in gallon freezer bags. I weighed some today and some birds are at 7 pounds. Can I buy bags at a store that will fit large birds? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Dubbing Game Birds

    My son recently showed a BB Red Bantam at the county fair. The judge was really impressed with his rooster but said in order to be to standard, it must be dubbed.

    Unsuccessful introduction

    Yesterday I tried to put my 3 1/2 month old girls in with my established hens at sunset. There was a lot of pecking going on and when I watched them this morning, again, there was a lot of pecking. My poor babes were all hiding in the corners to get away. My 9 year old went in the run and picked...
