Wow Ron, you have better luck hatching eggs than most anyone else that I know. I asked Paul to get a bid together for the materials needed for the pens, so I can see if I can do it right now. If I sell more of the gilts or lambs, I'll be able to afford more pens. Anybody want to buy a heritage breed piggie or lamb?




AmyBeth, I hope that you find helpful results. If these tests are inconclusive, you may want to submit a live chicken with symptoms to UCD. Or, I've heard that the lab at Turlock is better at getting answers. So you could submit any others that die to that lab. From my own experience, I know that the fresher the sample, the easier it is to find what was wrong.

Davis is quite the drive for me. I am not sure I could make that. I home to hear from Davis this week and I will know if I need to look at a second sample. :\ Thanks so much!

At the heritage festival, Walt said somethign interesting. he said if you get a dire report from davis, get a second opinion. I thought it was interesting to hear from him. I'm hopeing you don't get dire, however .

Quote: doing really well so. the older girls have already given me 3 eggs! they didn't seem to stop laying like most I transport. pretty cool!

Quote: will see. gonna hatch for a while and see what they do, how they lay, etc. there are a couple of pullets that I really like and plenty of roos that I like, still trying to narrow down to 2. i will have about 4 extras if we can find someone interested in housing them down there for you!

Quote: which makes it painful when you drop one of them... dropped a rhodebar and a jubilee orpington egg today. that could have represented well over $100. sort of like burning a hundred dollar bill. ha!

Evening everybody. Something is going on with the chicks I just got. 3 silver laced brahmas a blue orpington. I have no clue what's going on. All I know is none of the rest of my 60 some odd chickens dont have this. I first noticed it on the blue orp. (this is not the blue Orps I posted the other day. A younger one.). I first brought it home and notices it was closing one of its eyes. And when I had my hand over that eye, it wouldn't respond. So, I figured it was blind in one eye. That's a normal possibility right? There was no redness or anything. So I kind of wrote it off. Now both of its eyes are very very red and has something over glad of its eye like some kind of membrane. So I checked every chicken I have and only found it on the new chicks I just got minus 1 gold laced Brahma. I have no clue what's the problem. I have chicks I hatched myself in with these and my chicks don't have any eye redness at all. I've seperated the red eyed chicks for now so I can hopefully get this situation containe Does the redness look familiar too anyone. I've checked out eye worms but to my knowledge they don't have it. This is different....

So Sorry about the sore eyes!

I have seen posts about a virus that causes red gooey eyes. There is an ointment you can put in the eyes. Someone here probably knows the name off of the top of their heads and will post it soon.

Good luck with them!

Let me know how I can help!

I would love to have pigs and one of those little cows you have. A Gallon of milk a day would be perfect for us. One day I hope...

I hope you sell some Pigs and Sheep!
