yeah you don't want those oldies kicking the bucket on you from no food. Well mine were doing great and even going pretty far until later this evening and they started inching toward the house and got a few piles of poop on the patio this evening. I think IF they knew where I was in the house...

That's great Bee! Mine are a little better today to but still come running when we walk out there but not all of them like they were doing. With this heat I was wondering if the bugs wasn't around for them to eat or something. So happy they are back at it!

same thing I was thinking except I'd have to tell them he's doing this unless they were going to eat him. Then I also thought maybe this is what it's suppose to be so I can eat him myself. lol I really did actually think of that if hubby could kill it I think I might could eat it. I KNOW I could...

Oh I bet it was and so glad it ONLY took one treatment cause that can get expensive with a huge flock like that. I've sold 3 of my cockerels so far but still have like 11-12 maybe even 13 left. lol

castor oil not mineral oil. UGHH my memory is sooo bad right now. Yeah I remember the NuStock was what you were really talking about then. Man its a good thing you didn't have 30 plus birds at the time. Man that would have been a mess!

OHHH so the scale mites is what your Gnarly bunch had when you got them back? That's why to dip their feet into the mineral oil right? So they live on the BODY as well as the feet? Now I'm itching....lol Which one is it that lays their eggs every 11 days? Thank you Bee going to cut and paste...

oh noooo same here! I have poo on my patio every day for the past few days. They're just camping out here and around their pen. Now some of them are really getting out and free ranging BUT when they see the others come running here they come to. Shoooo I was afraid I was doing something else...

Yep BUT the main thing now is we ARE learning better so that's the good thing at least now we know. Mine are some hard headed critters and today I had to tap them just a bit harder with my stick to get their attention. Got one of the cockerels looking over his shoulder while he's eating. Just as...

That's great LisaLou!

Will do Bee. I see the point now and did think, I don't want them afraid of me. But now I see it's pecking order and I SURE NEED to be the head and not the feet. lol Man one day I will get all this stuff. lol this is sooooo new to me! My ducks wasn't like this. lol

that's great he's acting the way he should! Mine are about 12 weeks now so hoping mine doesn't start this behavior soon. :(

WONDERING how old they are when they start this kind of behavior? I have several right now that I am going to have to get rid of. Mine are like 3 months old.

lol .......I thought I'd already posted a reply to this but am not seeing it now. GOOD idea Bee! LOVE this idea and now I can feel much more confident about getting rid of the roosters I sell. Thank you! I got a pic of some of them today and then thought, ugh I'm not going to know one from the...

GOOD idea Bee, will do thanx!!! :)

Yeah my cockerels are almost 3 months old now (will be the 20 somthing) (RIR's) and one of them bit a plug outta my foot a couple days ago. It turned blue BUT in his defense I THINK he may have been biting at a large hump (calcium deposit I think) I have on the top of my foot and missed it...

LOL@ you two!

I am going to use this because I was so worried about roosters attacking me until I had about decided I didn't even want any roos. So far so good with mine though but they are still young.
