WTH is up with the weather? Went out to let out the birds & it's like 20 degrees out. It is spring right? Still having issues with red rumps on a number of birds. Cleaned & scrubbed out the coop & nest boxes last weekend & treated everything with dust. Even caught & dusted all the birds with...

Another B-E-A-U-TIFUL day in Kansas! Hope you have a chance to get out & enjoy the sun today. Thanks for the feedback on my birds. Going to run by the store tonight & pick up some Sevin. Should have time to at least clean out the nest boxes & treat that before it get's dark. Will have to wait...

Hello all! Haven't been on the forum for a really long time, but I'm still around & doing well. It will take me forever to get caught up on forum posts so I'm not even going to attempt it. Just going to pick up from the end & move forward. Hope everyone is doing well & that chick season isn't...

Hello all. Yes, I'm still around. Just haven't been online in a really long time. Today is finally the first day in a couple of months where I can sit down with a cup of coffee & just relax. Not even going to try & get back thru the 1,000+ unread posts. Will try to get thru maybe the last 100 or...

I just entered Purina's latest contest which just started today. If anyone is interested in FREE FEED check it out. The first 500 entries get at least 1 bag of feed FREE! Here is a link to their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/PurinaPoultry If you decide not to enter, please vote for...

"Free range" as in roaming around the neighborhood & going wherever they want....NO. "Free range" as in being within your fenced in yard...YES. Basically they have to stay on your personal property.

Prices seem a little high, but reasonable based on what I've seen online. For comparison, if you were buying day old hatchery chicks the Barnvelders would run about $9 & the White Rocks less than $3 at straight run pricing. Based on the age of these birds he's making a little on you, but not...

Wanted to add some corrections & clarifications to HEChicken's post. You can pick up an AMP application form at animal control. However, their offices are now located at the new facility on north Hillside & K96 next to the new Humane Society complex. One of the big changes they made when they...

Having been thru all the Wichita city code & permit discussions fairly recently (September 2012) I can tell you that what the municipal code states is that you can have 3 chickens without needing an AMP (Animal Maintenance Permit). By code, you are allowed up to 12 birds with an AMP with the...

All depends on what day(s) of the week chooks will be here that week. If it's an evening I can make it definitely count me in. Had too much fun last time to pass it up again.

Welcome to the group. Lots of experience here so feel free to ask lots of questions. I was in your shoes a year ago when I first started. Learned a LOT from the folks here. They are a great bunch. Crazy at times, but still the best in my book. I had the same thought too about having to brood...

Chicks 2.0 My new chicks arrived on Wednesday morning. Post office called just before 8:00am to let me know they had arrived. All 27 chicks were alive upon arrival, but 4 of them didn't make it thru the next day. They were a bit sluggish when I took them out of the box so I figured it would...

I can probably come out & help for a little while on the 2nd. I'm on call that day (as I am most Saturdays), but if things are calm I may swing by. HEChicken gave me a general idea of where your place is at, but if you can PM me directions that would be great.

Just popping in to post a snow pic. Have never really noticed how "red" my coop was until all this snow. Hope everyone has a good day. Another work snow day for me (2 in a row WTH). New batch of chicks set to arrive in just under 2 weeks. Hoping that the weather is good when they get here...

I've noticed lately that the 'go to first unread post' link doesn't work on threads that have a large number of posts. Seems to work OK on threads with smaller post volume (under 1K). A good example is the Kansas Consolidated thread. Ever since it has passed 20K posts the '# unread post' link...

I should be able to make it tonight. Just let me know where & what time. I'm good with HuHot, but am open to other options. Would be nice to see everyone again.

While it's not really intended to be used as a way to "save" posts, you can use the ovation button (the little green thumbs up button next to the multi post button) to keep track of specific posts. You can then access the posts you flagged thru your BYC profile. Give it a try & see if will work...

Welcome to the group Penny & everyone else who has recently joined! Glad to have you here. Great group of people here with years of experience. Feel free to jump in anytime. If you haven't found the Kansas Poultry Swap group on Facebook yet you might check that out...
