    Good Morning Michigan! DH and I have been back in Michigan for about 1 week and guess we brought the cool weather with us?? We kept hearing how warm it was here and so we leave Florida one week early and we are created with cool temps. Ah well....Michigan weather! I was anxious to clean...

    How do you remove poop from poop boards when it is FROZEN solid onto the boards. ? I would need a chisel and hammer! I have to wait until days of 32 or higher come and then scrape. This is the first year I've used "poop boards".....just wondering. I dropped off my RV coop and flock to my...

    Hey...how do you scrape your poop boards when the poop is frozen solid??? I can only scrape mine when temps get over 32! I dropped my RV coop and flock off at my friends on Friday and hated to give her a coop with poop frozen onto boards. I have a hoe to scrape them off when not frozen but...

    Your welcome John. He won't be able to tell you for sure without tests but he can give you his opinion and what to do about it. If it is Mareks you will have to have vacinnated chicks as you said.. and even then they can get it...just not have the symptoms that are so horrible to watch. I read...

    Hi uchytil, I am so SORRY about your hen. I have to say that although she is your pet...you need to put her down. It may be suffering unknown to you and you would be doing her a blessing to put her down. Hope this doesn't upset you but felt I had to say it. Please call Dr. Mick Fulton at MSU in...

    Mornin' early birds! I think we got around 7 inches of snow yesterday...didn't look out this morning to see if it is still snowing. I tried to quickly go through the posts I missed....looks like we have a new member and new chicks and a missing hen with one with wry neck. I thought wry neck...

    Mornin! DH woke up at 3 am...stomach hurting...flu going around. Not sure if he has the flu or if it was smoking a cigar at friends last night. He hasn't had a cigar in over a year and maybe that did it. I went back a couple of pages to try to get an idea of what is happening in Mi. Cute baby...

    Way to go Opa! We have over 6 inches of new snow....DH plowed our road and two neighbors. I decided that most likely the nice weather is gone so I decided to move my flock into the RV coop in preparation for their trip to a friends next Friday. I went out early so they would be on the roost...

    I think us older users have more techy problems. In the past month I''ve had to work on the computer via phone help (and not very good at English making it even harder), work on our new Directv system (via phone also but English at least) and so my patience is somewhat thin in discovery all the...

    Hugs to you Chickflick. We've had hawks screeching around here for the past month. I let my flock out but they usually stay under something....guess they are smarter than I thought! You'd think they would go for smaller prey but I guess a nice plump hen is too much to pass up. :(
