Hi Sweet I haven't been keeping up on the BYC very well
how are the chicks from last summer? how many since then? oh didn't you have a pox issue...how'd that turn out?
I haven't been on since my pox outbreak. It was aweful! I lost 2 grown Roos and 1 grown hen- the one that was mostly affected. Only 1 in quarantine made it. And the rest of the flock made it through as well. The 7/8 babies however did not. One by one it got them. It was heartbreaking, there was nothing I could do to stop them or cure them. They were just too small w no defenses. I haven't allowed anyone to set since November. This is my first attempt since then. I did buy 6 Cochin bantams but my stupid dogs got into the cage and well, you know how that ended. I have roughly 7 chicks due next Thursday ish. And these 14 this broody is on will be due the first of May. So we'll see how it goes. How about you?
