my moms parrot this thanksgiving. she wanted the food on the buffet so first she flew over and knocked off the turkey stuffing breaking the bowl and after being shooed away... while cleaning was going on... she made a second attempt and knocked a carton of eggs off the counter. she spent the...

not everyone has access to a gun to kill it with. i once found myself ending one with a brushwork machete (also used for freezer camp day). let me tell you their hides are tough. i really felt bad about that one. i always have 22 shells available now.

we have cats too, as long as it is kept in the coop and run it wont bother the cats. they just need to be kept away from it till it dries. we refrain from spraying everywhere to get rid of flies and skeeters because of the cats though...

i like the permethrin because it tends to work first treatment and you can treat the entire coop and run easily so it doesnt come back. spray everything during the day while the chickens can move away and then use the weaker solution at night to put a quick spray or two on each butt. i get lice...

i wouldnt want them in their pen for fear they would get bored and eat a whole one but my turkey forage on the ones we have stepped on or run over. they seem to like them.

This is a (spoiled) silky. Yours looks like my ameraucana marans cross olive egger. An ee is just any mix that may have the blue egg gene. They are often sold as ameraucana but they are not the same.

permethrin everywhere. the bottle should have instructions for different solution strengths to make to treat the yard, the chicken coop and run, and the chickens themselves. i would probably use a cotton ball to treat the heads. by spraying everywhere the chickens might have access to you will...

i think id focus more on how to raise them. my turkey stay near me for protection but i had some really bad hatches and twice ended up with one chick being carried around in my shirt pocket to keep it from being alone. guess what... i have two turkey who will come stick their head in my hand to...

i have never actually dipped one. i load my mix in a spray bottle and spray butts after lights out when they wont run away.

If anyone knows the breed

My little escape artist!

I caught someones escapee chicken in the cracker barrel parking lot so thats his new name. Im pretty sure its a bantam but id like some idea of breed and hopefully gender.

She sleeps under the covers with my mom lol. Spoiled rotten!

Mine decided to show up early, 12 out of 17 eggs due tomorrow have hatched. Babies everywhere!!! Now I'm just hoping the rest will hatch. One is pipped and the rest are stubbornly solid

Yes they are but the babies aren't pure. I have some awesome egg mean jerk black copper Marans and som pale egg nice white Marans and I am crossing them and then breeding dark egg layers back to white so I will have good quality white marans

2 days till hatch... Tax day babies... Pretty sure that's about 50 billion hours away.... Slower than Christmas..... Are they here yet!

They can't ship them after the first day or two because of the need to feed and water them

i have the same problem. when i want to handle one i try to ease my hand down against one wall so i can approach at their level but they all run around screaming when i reach in to clean/ fill their food/water. this batch seems to like my hand though and will get under it if they are chilly. i...
