I don't post much for various reasons. First being the rudeness of folks to others. How immature! I do read most of the posts and see trends in folks coming and going over time. I'm one of the going ones. I suppose not many will give a rats patoot and I'm OK with that. Just keep in mind that in...
I haven't posted for awhile but read the thread when I can.
NEOCS was a success in my book! Thank you Coral for all you did to bring everything together and make it an enjoyable day, and to everyone else who did what they could to help out. I sold a few birds and visited with several folks...
Hardly got any rain at all last night. Just enough to wet the driveway. Maybe that will change this evening since the forecast calls for rain again.
I noticed early this morning that my favorite Serama hen, Bunny has developed a prolapsed vent. She got a nice, warm soak and a bath to remove...
I know I miss posts sometimes, or just plain skip them if there are a lot to catch up on, so maybe if you'll post what's going on with your rooster again, someone will be able to help.
If you're looking for a vet who sees chickens, Mitzi and I have taken our birds to Dr. Zinn to a clinic in...
Catching up on lots of posts this evening.
bfrancis - looks like the snakes really like your place. Hope you get your brooder snake proof. Sorry about the losses.
NanaKat & Cjarvis - your birds are beautiful. Those CWs are so pretty. You have both done a good job with those. We are...
What day of incubation are the Serama eggs on? If it turns out to be a lone hatch, I will be happy to give you / your DD some more eggs to make up for the ones that didn't hatch.
Hens will take a day off from egg laying occasionally. It could be that some of them are taking off the same days, so there are fewer eggs for you to find. Of course there are other reasons why there is a decrease in egg laying - heat - if they're too hot they could be stressed, causing them to...
Maybe I'm having an old-timer's moment, but I'm having trouble getting to the survey link to pre-order t-shirts and to list what I'm bringing to NEOCS. The links in the photos on page one of this thread are embedded in the photos and aren't clickable. Would someone be kind enough to post the...
I'm gone for a few days and come back to over 600 posts to catch up on! Think I'll just start at the end and work my way forward.
Got the new coop painted, linoleum on the floor and roosts built. There's just not enough time in the day to get everything done. I sprayed the yard and trees for...
That happens sometimes. I've seen it with some of my girls' eggs too, on occasion. It's usually nothing to worry about. It just means that when the shell was being deposited, more of it got on that end of the egg for some reason.
Robin - keeping your FIL and family in my prayers for a speedy recovery.
BBacres - your birds are pretty no matter what they are.
I've always liked solid white birds. I had a very large White Plymouth Rock rooster for awhile that was absolutely gorgeous. Since he crowed VERY loudly, I had to...
