Just a heads up. My daughter bought some white silkies from a couple in Bush last week. They apparently were sick and just not showing signs yet. The next day they were sneezing and looking drowsy. Unfortunately, it had already started to spread. Half my flock is sick now. Eyes glued shut with...

Its my experience that people just decide they want birds, so they get them. Most of them think you can just throw out bread or corn for food. I have tried to talk to them more before they come buy them and even have a print out with food and housing info, etc. I've had several people that I've...

This was meant as a reply to an earlier post but ended up here. Keep an eye on craigslist. They usually announce the monthly chicken swap there. The swap is at O'Keefe's Feed in Covington. Usually some interesting stuff there.

Does anyone know where to get bulk feed in SE La, as close to Covington area as possible? Getting too big to buy bags now :) Also, I'm looking for a female Nubian goat, adult or baby. Not looking for papers and all for breeding, just a personal milk goat. If you have one for sale or know...

Good morning everyone. I have a question about feed. I was considering mixing my own layer mash, but am unsure where to get all of the base ingredients. Anyone know where I can buy that type of thing in my area? I'm in Covington.

I'd definitely appreciate it. I need to get them out of here one way or another.

Kuntrygirl, I don't really know what happened with the Hyde plant. Someone in my homeschool group told me the place had reopened and she thought they were doing chicken. I am going crazy over here. I only got meaties because I found a place in Independence that did poultry. Now that the birds...

Hey all :) I was told that the old Hyde meat packing plant reopened under another name and they are processing fowl now. Anyone happen to know what the new name is?

I have 18 meat chickens that I bought with my husband's understanding that he wouldn't have to butcher them. I had found a place in Independence that processed them. Now that my chickens are ready, the place has been closed temporarily due to "problems". If anyone has info on a processing place...

There's a chicken swap in Covington this Sunday at O'Keefe's starting at 8am, if thats what you meant by "meet".

Quote: You have to watch what hatchery you order from also.McMurray hatchery only ships on Fridays,which means the chicks sit in waiting for an extra couple days on a loading dock waiting for monday morning shipping. The chicks were ordered from Buckeye Dave. He shipped out on Wednesday. The...

The post office strikes again. Chicks were a day late delivered so I got a whopping 3 live chicks out of 12. Last month I got scrambled eggs in the mail. I almost hope they shut down.

Quote: Alas....In my personal broad experience with Nigerians,Pygmies,Boer,LaMancha,and several others....They are NOT lawnmowers.They will eat your flowers,plants,weeds,trees,bark,trash,feed,and everythingthing else EXCEPT grass..... If you want a lawnmower,get a mini,pony or a sheep. My...

Does anyone know a dwarf or pygmy goat breeder? I dont need anything fancy. Just looking for a baby doe that we can raise and have as a pet/lawn mower. We already have a place set up in the barn for her to sleep and a teenage daughter that will smother it with attention Please PM me if you know...

Quote: I've had that happen to me once. It almost looked like an umbilical cord. I just VERY carefully worked it down over the foot. Nerve wracking, but we managed and the chick was just fine.

Anybody have a female pygmy goat they are looking to sell? I had to sell my male goat because he was starting to act a bit crazy when he got big. Now all the underbrush is coming back and I really need too find another. I have a fenced yard and a nice size house with a fan for her. I'd like...

Quote: You should have heard my husband... After catching 3 he said a few choice words and was like "This is NOT fun anymore!" I was like geez you thought it would be?? He said I was trying to make a game out of it!! I thought I'd fall out!! It can get pretty old when they are...

Quote: I honestly dont know if they can see or not. Mine act like they're half dead as soon as the sun starts going down. They were running around the yard to the point where I had to get a flashlight to see them and talking about holla when they were caught. Holy mackrel the last one we...

When I was hatching my EE eggs I just stuck them in the bator and waited to see what came out. So, I dont really remember all the stuff about egg development. My daughter got some hatching eggs 2 weeks ago and we candled tonight and over 80% of them are clear. I cant recall if that means they...
