My other half puts clean out into the garden, he also adds wood ash and Epsom salts. If your manure is concentrated, set it into a place that it can mellow out such as compost area so to rid of the amonia. Often growing up, we took a 5 gallon pail with, cow, hen, and horse (sounds like duck...

Greetings, I was contacted last night by a friend asking if I had any poultry for sale. I don't however I said that I would inquire here. She would like anything from 3-8 birds, she will take up to 2 years old. Drop me a note and I'll check this evening. TY

Hi folks, long time no see, I haven't even had time to "lurk" and I'm so amazed at the new improved BYC! We are so glad to see the swaps starting up and may be able to get to some that I've only wanted to get to. At this point, its highly unlikely that I'll be doing any swaps at Oxford or...

I would love to make a comment on the terrible attitudes of Mainers, but instead I'll go along with the black head issue that Hoppy mentioned. I have raised my birds together for many years now, placing my chicks together to use the virus that turkeys have that will prevent the Mereks disease...

LOL! You guys are to funny.

Quote: Your right, your a bit to far too! LOL, and the big girls would pick on her as I've heard of a lot of stories that they are to mild of disposition which is great, yet, like my standard cochins, they are mild, but they have the fluff and bone structure to mow down the boogers that want...

Quote: There was an ad on Craigslist this afternoon from a person in Waldoboro looking to rehome three silver Polish pullets. Ty, Waldoboro may be a bit far for me. But thanks anyways.

henney penny- Do you need a Polish cockerel? If so, I have a non-show quality fella that could use a good home. He is with his brother and they are fine, yet wish he could be "adopted". Also, I've been looking for a nice Polish gal just to add to my flock. I have not been actively looking for a...

Quote: You know, the club here in Farmington has a list of members that wanted to be testers and get this, they will not train anyone until they get the old kits back. Don and everyone including me have been on their arse's to pump up testers in Maine. Its a frustrating ordeal. Keep at him and...

Quote: They are beautiful. Where do you get your eggs? I had an emu egg that I kept on a display stand until one of the cats decided it was a fun toy to knock onto the floor. Fortunately she didn't knock the ostrich egg off the shelf. That egg has been in the family for over 40 years. I had...

Quote: Did paradisepoultry not work out? Still no reply. I assume that either they haven't opened they're email lately or they don't have anything. So, I'm not putting all my apples in one basket and if someone has something, Let me know. I appreciate your help Jenn!

That sounds like a pain in the butt. Its bad enough waiting in line, yet you have a choice (without their type of lines) to see which line you want to wait in, not the communist ways, lol, in a way, I'm just kidding! Anyone in Western Maine have 1 or 2, pet quality, Polish hens/pullets that...

Quote: well put, thank you!

Glad that all your family is ok and water is the only need they have. Such force from nature! Off topic completely, but as you speak of Nuke plant, folks are up in arms over the wind farms. Fearing of endangering lives of birds, and the noise etc. What about those that survived Chernobyl, I can...

Quote: They say animals can tell prior to earthquakes and perhaps they were trying to tell you something??? Dunno about 6 kids though- ha ha

I just looked it up on the quake site and its center was VA, that is one heck of a long ways for the earth to shudder! I hope that everyone will hunker down out of the path of the Hurricane. My land, I DON"T want to know whats next! (not only that but wasn't supposed to be California that...

Nothing here, although I was in my vehicle about that time. Did you know there is a site for New England Earthquakes? Here is a link, they don't have anything up that I've seen (then again, I can be blinder then a bat!) http://aki.bc.edu/quakes_recent.htm Sounds like its been a real humdinger!

Quote: My boyfriend and I are on day 13 of bumblefoot soaks for a leghorn living in my basement right now... the thing is starting to LOVE foot soaks. She gets up on the kitchen counter, looks through a window, soaks her feet in warm water and epsom salts (then later tetracycline) while...
