Carol, I have had chickens off and on since the 80's. I have had my current flock for 3 years. What type of chickens do you raise? cindy

Hi, lovemypeeps, I am in Plant City too. cindy

Florida, what happened? I can't believe it, I was just over there about a month ago. I will miss her so much. She was a great friend. It is odd, I was hatching some eggs for her, and they just hatched yesterday. It makes me sad that she will never see them. cindy

Something got into the cochin pen last night and killed all but 2 of the cochin. First time I have had a predator attack, other than my own dogs. Looks like I am going to have to do some major pen reinforcement. I am ready to lock one of the dogs in the cochin pen to give whatever it was a...

When you are in the box where you type the reply, at the top there are a bunch of icons. In the box that has the smiley face, the first icon is the one you click to post a photo. It is the muti-colored square. cindy

I know the feel Jadnils. It seems like it takes forever. All my older hens are molting, so I am not getting any eggs right now. I am going to start charging them room and board if they don't start contributing soon.

What hurricane preparations are all of you doing? cindy

Hope she makes it. It is so sad to watch them struggle with this stuff. cindy

This may get some strong responses. I would not use a breeder or hatchery that did not cull chicks. Culling eliminates geneticly transferred problems. Vaccinations are good only if the entire flock is vaccinated, and vaccines are not available for some of the most lethal chicken illnesses...

Kim, Child Services down here has a terrible reputation, so your MIL may be in for a uphill battle. Since she has no money, she will be dependent on the state appointed attorney. Unless someone in your family has the money to hire an attorney for her. It will be very expensive, probably at...

Stan, save 4 pullets and 1 cockerel for me if you have them available. If you are coming to one of the swaps up here, can I pick them up at the swap? I plan on going to the Lonesome Dove and Plant City swaps this month, but will go to another one of the Polk county swaps if that is the plan...

Can't wait to see the chicks. I have fallen in love with these birds. They are beautiful. If Outback does not recover, I may have to get another rooster from you. I thought the Delaware had dry pox because he never developed respiratory symptoms, but he went bad overnight and died today...

What do you have left Stan? I'm fighting fowl pox, and may have to replace some birds, and still want to get some Barred Rocks. Hello to all the new folks. Ingrid, Outback is one of the chickens with pox, but it looks like it is dry, so I think he will be OK. He knows which pullets are...

I can't believe how many new folks have joined us in the last few days when I didn't log in. Hi everybody! So glad you joined us. I have been collecting photos of open air coops. Here is the link: http://pinterest.com/tampatomato/warm-climate-coops/ cindy

I have been wanting to switch to sand, but didn't know how to clean it. Please share your tips. cindy

Gail, tigercreek has some really nice Barred Rocks. Last I heard he had some chicks available. He is down in Palmetto, but his birds are worth the drive. CloverdaleFarms has Ameraucanas and she is in Sefner. Hope this helps. cindy

If I had been paying attention we could have been friends before today! Glad we finally connected. cindy
