    Lavender Orpington eggs

    Hi Jayme. I have learned much about shipping eggs across state lines since I responded to this post. You have to be versed in the rules for each state and have multiple certifications so I only do in-state local pickup of eggs and chicks. Someone should be able to help you out in Indiana...

    Lavender Orpington eggs

    I have Lav Orp Eggs. Some of last years hatch is in my avatar to the left. I am in South Central PA so probably too far away to make a connection.

    Lavender Orpington Thread

    Hello BB, I noticed your old post looking for Lav Orps. How did your search turn out? Are you raising Lav Orps? I have started breeding them here in Perry County on a small scale and some of my last years hatch is pictured in my avatar. I just sent an intro titled Perry County, PA to try...

    Perry County, PA

    I am relatively new to the site and want to find others in my area that have similar interests in chickens. I buy chicks occasionally, build my own coops, waterers, feeders, and have started incubating my own peeps. I have 11 beautiful lavender orpingtons aged 1 to 2 years and am working...

    Lavender Orpingtons

    Breeding Lav Orps is not easy thus the price. Their large bodies and fluffy feathers lead to difficulty in mating success so less fertile eggs. Some feather trimming and candling may result in better hatches but it is more difficult than standard buff orps due to size and feather structure.

    Breeding lavender orpingtons

    Lav Orps are large, very fluffy feathered chickens. With this being said breeding can be like two basketballs getting together. Something difficulty getting a good hold can have the male rolling over the top or dismounting. Having everything line up can also be an issue. Keep an eye on them...

    What to do with a bullied chicken?

    Not sure I can offer a solution but I had a similar experience with a small breed chicken in with larger breeds. Although I picked her up with seven other chickens from the same person where they all shared a barnyard she did not seem to fit in with the others. All of the larger chickens...

    Your tricks for catching hens or guiding back to the coop?

    I tempt as many as I can with scratch on the ground in the run and guide the others in with a 10 ft pvc pipe behind them. Once they get close to the door of the run I open it and they go in quietly.

    Wild Turkey Hen Adopted Us

    Your first mistake was call a government agency and expecting a reasonable answer. Do whatever you want. You have no idea where this turkey came from and are being a good citizen by giving it a home if it wants to stay. Rely on your own instincts and you will be fine. This type of thing has...

    Raccoon killed my chickens!

    Peanut butter works well. Make sure the traps are set to go off with just a little pressure. I have caught four coons in the last week. They are climbing a 5 ft woven wire fence with 4 rounds of barbed wire to get into my garden area. They eat my squash, cucumbers and one of my smaller chickens.

    Please learn from our mistake - Raccoon Killed our chicken

    Peanut butter in a box trap works for me. I have caught four raccoons in the last five days with two traps. They got one of my 7 week old chicks a few nights ago. They climb a five foot woven wire 2x2 fence with four rounds of barbed wire up to 8 feet. I do have a fenced and covered run with...

    Ulcerative Colitis

    One more thing that is probably very important for you. The disease damages the intestinal tract which prevents you from absorbing nutrients. Each segment of the intestine absorbs a different vitamin. The last section of the illium which is usually the first damaged absorbs B12 which controls...

    Ulcerative Colitis

    Yes on the juice machine or vitamix. It makes the veg more digestible. Unfortunately you will not get satisfaction with the doctor. Ask the doctor what causes IBD or what cures IBD. The answer will be I do not know. You are pretty much on your own. Time for a lifestyle change. Eat simple...

    Ulcerative Colitis

    Also; what the doc will want to prescribe to you for the inflammation will be NSAIDs. These have been implicated in the cause of ulcers and intestine damage. Do not go down this road as your damage will get much worse. Juicing is also very effective at re-balancing the intestinal tract...
