Quote: Yes, I have Dels from 2 breeders that are all 18 weeks old. I haven't culled my flock yet to get to the best, but I am always looking for new blood to keep genetic diversity. Maybe after your cull we could do a trade? Would you be open to that? Don't know why it logged me in under...

Quote: The first chick we hatched like that, we fed and watered about 5-8 times a day (exhuasting!) for about 2-3 weeks. It never got better, so we had to put it out of it's misery. Plus, it was starting to get nippy about being held. I think it didn't like to be forced to stand up. It's...

Ok. I searched and searched. I can't find exactly what is going on with my boy, Elvis', wattle. There are tiny little white spots that are red in the center. I recently treated for mites with this stuff the feed store told me was safe... "viper" dust. I dusted because the girls haven't laid in...
