    Tiny flea like bugs around their eyes and face

    I noticed some of my chickens have tiny brown flea like bugs on their faces. When I picked one up to take a closer look, some jumped onto me just like a flea. I did a search and most of you talk about mites or lice and use sevin dust to treat. Does this sound like what they have? Should I treat...

    DH just got his "pink slip" to the unemployment line

    We have known for a while that his job was in jeopardy. That's really why we got into chickens in the first place. We were looking for ways to become more self sufficient in the event of a lay off. So we have plenty of chickens and eggs. We just put our cow on the freezer, so we have beef. I...

    ...but as it turns out, I don't!! I went today to buy some hatching eggs from a local guy, even though I said I was done incubating for a while. He was selling RIR eggs for 4.00 a dozen so I figured what the heck, may as well get a couple dozen. Well I get there and he has some leghorn chicks, 4...
