Ivomec works well for me, but as said above it only works systemically, so it wouldn't work with feather lice It needs to travel through the blood.

For feather lice, you'll need a dust or a dip.
And feather lice was what I was trying to treat for. I read the label and it clearly states that it works on sucking (or does it say biting?) lice, which feather lice aren't, but some peafowl people swore it worked for them, so I tried it many different ways and came to the conclusion that it is ineffective on feather lice. Also tried treating with DE and that didn't work either.

I just finished processing 38 birds in two hours and fifteen minutes.

DH does the kill and I do the rest.

Before you think I'm wonder woman, I'll admit they were quail.

A whole lot faster to do.

That is still an impressive job!

That is pretty darn good...even with quail. I haven't done any of mine yet. I will be building a 4 level pen in the next few days and setting up my birds. Will process what is left over.

It is beautiful.

I is far away from work, Stores and etc. It would be perfect for someone that wanted to retire far away from everything.

LOL, no - this is on the other side (north) of us.

Ivermectin works in the bloodstream, so only kills blood sucking lice. It will not kill feather eating lice. You have to treat those topically, with dust or dip etc.

It's normal for this area. Capay Valley is very remote, very rural. Summers are very hot. You have to love it here to live here and the majority of people have to commute to work. It's also difficult to get a loan for 20 acres. Legally, rural residential is classified as 5-10 acres. Farms/Ranches are over 100 acres. The type of mortgage for either would be from different types of lenders. Acreage in between does not have a classification, and there are very few lenders that will make a loan for those size properties. All this makes it difficult to sell this type of property. The seller and the realtor for this listing are also known for being difficult to deal with. But, do a comparison, you won't find other properties with what this one has to offer in this low of a price.

Being diffucult to loan on will do it. Will probably end up going to a cash buyer.

Ron's right. We are 30 miles from the nearest grocery store. No fast food, no chain stores, no malls. Guinda has a small corner store, a post office, a fire station and a small family restaurant. Unfortunately, Cache Creek Casino is 6 miles away.

The valley does have many of the largest organic farms in this part of the state. and a true agricultural atmosphere. Nobody would ever think about complaining about roosters crowing out here. Everyone has chickens.

The organic farmers will usually lease land from property owners but the soil on these parcels is not as fertile. You can grow oat hay on it and the owners are leasing the fields out now to a farmer who grows hay on it. Before that, they raised beef cattle, in partnership with some friends and they were making a bit of income from that.

If I didn't have to work it sounds wonderful! It's that darn commute...

id be interested i. them

Anyone interested in a pen (three pullets, one cockerel) of blue Ameraucana bantams? They are only 3 months old, so they aren't laying yet. I need to get recent pictures. 

 

[tommysgirl]

I tried to play the what sex is this game two weeks ago and you advised me to come back with the pics in two weeks. Since then two of the three chicks have clearly shown themselves as cockerels...but of course...I THOUGHT this was a sex link and was a cockerel at hatch but now I think its daddy is Ozzie the Delaware and not my NH roo. Thoughts?? These are all of the same bird, 5 weeks old. It's mama made taking these pictures tough she is a mad photo bomber.

Holy cow, those are TERRIBLE TERRIBLE photos! You say thats an agent that is selling that?? Kathy, I'm thinking about trying to rehome my royal palms. Mario wants less birds, but I need cranberries to go to a pet home if I do it. Interested?
