    Quote: This is what I'm finding so far. Ocular Histoplasmosis is a condition where scars have formed on the retina due to a fungus commonly found in the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys. Histoplasmosis is contracted by inhaling these fungal spores from dust. Over 50% of the people living in...

    I'll look it up and ask them when they get home- if they hear the name, they might remember. I really just thought it was a routine eye exam or I would have gone with. My Men- I've found ( don't know if other are this way) Can't seem to remember details.

    heat's impact on egg-laying

    My girls quit laying as well. Its been in the 90+ with very few breaks from the heat for about 5 weeks now. I was getting 2 dozen a day, now I'm lucky to get 3 or 4. Just trying to keep them cool and hope they survive a few more days. Suppose to cool of on sunday.

    How many coops and runs do you have?

    3 coops 1 coop is 12 X12 w/ a 12 X 24 foot run The other 2 coops are 12 X 16 and 6X12 - The smaller of the coops is for my new chicks so although there is a door for them to go outside - they don't, at least not yet. The bigger coop holds all my layers and they are free range.

    Chicken Killing Family Dog

    It sounds like you no longer trust the dog. The biggest issue is if he is a liability around children. An aggressive dog can hurt a child very quickly. If it were me the first sign of aggression and the dog is gone. BUT, you do have to keep things in perspective. I think on the proverbial food...

    Does Blue-Kote actually work for PECKING?

    I have not had any luck with Blu-Kote for elimanating pecking. But What Springchickens says seems to make sense and now that I think about it maybe that is why it never worked for me. Personally-I've had such an issue w/cannibalism in the past that if I could isolate it to just one bird - I...

    thoughts on these breeds for children?

    I don't know about the Easter Eggers. We have 24 of them and they are so flighty and wild. They are the only birds I have my 3 year old and 8 year old can't pick up, because they just run crazy like whenever we go in the coop. The Easter Eggers are really a mutt- so you never know really what...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: Think three rows of little red peas.... sort of.... Of course, finding a good representation of a pea comb can be difficult. Blue legs huh? How cool is that?! Okay- i found a picture of a pea comb. I have 24 pullets and 4 Roos for sure. Out of the pullets- they all have blue/green...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: When you say combs, do you mean a different kind of comb from the others, like a single comb as opposed to a pea comb? Or just that they are more pronounced? Easter Eggers can have any kind of comb - one of the benefits of being an easter egger I guess. If they all have the same type...
