Thank you for your kind words. I gave them Hydro Hen, and the suspected egg-bound hen just had a poppy butt, which we cleaned. They’re on an egg strike now, hopefully this doesn’t last too long!

Well, uh, *thanks?*

To top it all off today, something got our sweet Scout this evening. Can’t find her anywhere, but suspect a fox or weasel. The girls are all down and sad. What do we do to help them get through this loss?

Since we introduced two of the older chicks to the flock, they’re gone on an egg producing strike. Is this normal? It’s been four days since any of them have produced an egg. They all seem fine, except for one. Schatze is mopey, and this morning she was sitting on a roosting bar with her eyes...

Howdy from lower Bayfield County! We have six chicks in the brooder, ranging in age from 7 to 3 weeks. The bigger girls are nearly ready to integrate into the flock. Just treating one for middle toes who are a bit wonky. Our girls are laying everyday, and I’ll be at Taste of Barnes June 15...

Once they spent some time under the brooder heater, they perked up. Thanks for the honey/molasses tip!

They’re doing fine now. Chirping and eating.

Got our five chicks from Meyer this morning. Of the five, two are thriving, the other three are barely alive. Attempting to revive them with a mix of egg yolk, green tea and chick saver given to them with a baby dropper on the side of their beaks. Have them under the brooder plate. Anything else...

We got about 8” and I’m not happy about it. The flock aren’t either. 😉

The girls dust bathe outside, and during the winter, they pushed aside the hay in the run to use the sand. Ordered some spray for the roots and the coop area just now. Thanks for your help!

Thank you!

I cleaned out the entire coop and run on Tuesday. Raked out the pine shavings in the coop, sprayed with bleach water, and lice killer. Same with the run. All the grass/hay is gone. Used DE in both areas. The other girls so far are okay when I checked them. Sprayed anti bacterial spray on her...

We have a nine month old New Hampshire that has been a good layer for a while now. Today I noticed that the feathers around her vent are gone, and the skin is bright red. She lays about every two days, is eating and drinking and acting like her usual self. None of the other girls have this issue...

While this mild weather has been nice, it’s killing businesses up here in the northern counties. With no snow, we don’t have sledders coming up to visit our stores, bars and restaurants. Business is waaay down from last year, when it seemed like the snow would never stop falling! (We had 100” on...

We had a blizzard warning up here as well. Turned out to be high winds, very little snow. Complete reverse of last winter, where we had 100”. Now with these frogid temps, the girls are in the run, and not happy about it.

Happy New Year! Winter has decided to make its appearanc, and we have a dusting of snow, and cloudy days in the high teens and mid 20’s. Girls are not liking being stuck in the run all day.

I did butcher him, but after looking at how dark the meat was, and how tough it was, we tossed it.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Super warm up here that day, now it’s in the low 20’s. At least the sun finally made an appearance

Funny you should mention a trip to the woods. Cause that’s exactly what my husband and Jones did.
