Arizona Chickens

Chicken jump at the World Equestrian Games today in France:



I wish I could find the one showing the hens and chicks on the ground besides the jump. so cute.



Of course I like the Bayeux Tapestry jump, too:

I ordered a packet of organic swiss chard seeds and they sent me 8 packets! Wasn't looking to plant that much swiss chard. I'm in NE Mesa if anyone is interested in free seed packets of Fordhook Giant Swiss Chard let me know.

Your flock is beautiful.. I do hope our 3 Golden Marans hatch..

Thank you. You'll love the Golden Marans, they're the most mellow breed I have. My roo weighed 11.5 lbs when he was 10 mos old, that was 6 months ago & he's filled out a bit more.

I would pull those wooden eggs out from under the broody.

did you still want those tree seeds with those purple blooms?

yes, most definitely. looking to seed the new yard in chicken treats, will be doing a lot of amaranth.

let me know when and I will meet you. I go to TSC once a week. I know I am missing the meetings I lost track of when they are.

You say you moved, are you still in Avra Valley?

Huh, what age do they see symptoms.. I guess it would not hurt if is transmitted threw the egg..
What do you think @desertmarcy can a egg be that porous that would happen.. That is really sad to hear.. Just a newbie

My main concern is breeders can be NPIP but that certification doesn't cover Mg/Ms so if their breeding birds were carriers then the hatching eggs would result in chicks that would be carriers & put your entire flock & grounds at risk. My understanding is to prevent this one should do the dipping of the eggs immediately before placing into the incubator. Tylan or Denagard is added to ice cold water which the eggs are dipped into, the cold will allow for the Tylan to be taken into the pores & get to the embryo. I'm sure I'm missing some crucial steps but would like to know as I've pre-ordered some lavender cuckoo orp eggs & don't want to expose my flock to anything that may cost them their lives.
