The disinfecting part seemed to work. I haven't seen any of the symptoms that the last ones had in the new flock.
The reason I only have 4 now is we moved to a very rural area in Missouri, and had a raccoon get into the coop.
He killed or majorly injured my entire juvenile coop of lavender...
It ended up that I was losing 2-3 birds a week. They would be fine, and then the next day they would be dead.
At the recommendation of a vet, I ended up putting the whole flock down. I also had to toss a whole incubator full of eggs,
and put down 25 chicks that were hatched from that flock...
I finally got some guinea eggs today. Went down to the Tina small animal auction and
there were 2 dozen guinea eggs there. I got them for $5 a dozen. My husband told me to
go as high as $10 a dozen cuz he wants guineas bad.
Also picked up another 7 dozen mystery eggs and put them in the...
I've tried craigslist. The closest to me is Kirksville, still over an hour away, but nothing on there. Then went and looked at St. Joe, Columbia, and
Kansas City. Everyone that I can find that has eggs or keets are over 1 hr 45mins from me. At this point, I don't have the time to drive that...
Does anyone up near Chillicothe (within 1 hour) have either guinea eggs or keets for sale?
I am willing to pay cash for eggs or trade a brand new Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight (never been opened, $140 at store)
or a Baby Go! Fabric Cutter with 3 dies (brand new, never been out of box, ~$200...
I am also looking for either guinea hatching eggs or keets. I have a horrid tick problem, and they seem to like me
more than any of the animals. It's very annoying and icky!
I'm up by Chillicothe.
Oh, don't worry about it. I don't take much of anything the wrong way, and if I do, well, we
are all entitled to our own opinion. LOL.
The only problem with the comb is that I hatched these from shipped eggs. I
ended up with 2 cockerels and 4 pullets, it looks like to me. They are the only...
Gee, I really hate being awake at 4am.
I guess I get to join the bad comb club too. I just found this on
1 of my 6 week old BCM chicks. I only have 6 chicks so I had
hoped that it would skip me. LOL
Sorry about the bad pic. I was using my cellphone to take the pic
with one hand and trying...
Ok. Need some feedback on this comb. What is it? LOL
I know I shouldn't use him to breed.
Sorry about the bad pic. Was using my cellphone to take the picture by myself.
My husband wouldn't even try that. LOL, he knows that I would find some way to get power to the incubator
and it would be safer if he just let me keep the cord.
Hey, all. I've got about 10 buff Silkie chicks for sale.... again.
They range in age from 2-8 weeks old. They are from my
show Silkies, though I wouldn't consider these chicks
show quality, just pet quality.
They are just not what I want for my breeding purposes.
Hi all,
My name is Lisa. I'm a reired veterinary technician, but fairly new to chickens. This will be my first little flock. We live in Fort Worth, Texas. I'm going to stick to Silkies cuz they really don't look like chickens. As one of my co-workers asked when she first saw a Silkie picture...
Well, I am down to 6 BCM chicks now. I checked on them all at 11pm, right before bed,
and everyone was fine, running around like idiots as usual. Woke up at 5am and found
1 laying in the food dish with a broken neck. I have no idea what happened. It was
definitely a broken neck though, I...

I had a package that sat in that stupid KC hub for a week before they sent it on to my area.
I had the tracking number and watched it. I figured it was only coming from Virginia, should
only have taken at most 3-4 days, not 2 weeks to get here.
They passed one of those in Fort Worth, Tx while I lived there. They claimed it
was to try and cut down on the amount of cock fighting going on.
The ordinance they passed was to limit the number of roosters that you can
have based on the amount of land you have. We lived on 1/2 acre and...
