As a preventative the pumpkin seeds might help, but studies that I have read and from what Happy Chooks tried, if they have worms the natural remedies don't get rid of them.

I would give them pumpkins and worm on the 21st and repeat 14 days later.

It's been a full moon lately, maybe that's why?
Welcome!
Usually a couple days to a week. Stockpile the eggs now while you can.
Already wormed mine. I'm down to 2-3 eggs a day, so it was perfect timing. Sunday I can eat my eggs again.

Thank goodness for my duckies! I am getting about 8 eggs a day right now from them. I just sold 2 dozen to a friend. Between the ducks and chickens I am pretty much getting a dozen a day. So I am selling them as that- 8 duck/4 chicken eggs in a dozen. But only after making sure I have a personal 3 dozen set back for myself. Totally selfish of me!

Guess what was delivered to me today?

The 2013 BYC Calendar! Amy Beth's picture is used for the month of June!

Drop Dead Gorgeous are the two EEs!

I got mine 2 days ago. Woohoo! I was so excited. I bought one for my mil!

I have to go grocery store in this! Yuck!

so let me ask all you..

is it normal to vaccum your dog ?
so I am cleaning up the house. My wife has a photography client coming over tonight. Noticed some loose hair on Baxter my lab.
so got him with the small attachment with the milder suction.
he seemed to like it so I continued to clean him up too.

I am sure sure that solidifies my red neck status.
Lets recap...
Live in the sticks , have beer cans and wire over the chicken coops, empty plant containers stacked up to keep the chickens in the coops and now vaccum my Dog...

Welcome new people!

Why are they so friendly?

I have two now, one black and one Grayish, probably would be called blue I suppose.

I saw one like that white one at Karen's (Sewandgrow) this summer. The silly thing was trying to hatch a large clutch of eggs too!

Silkies were bread as pets as well as meat chickens for a looong time iirc. Think they were the court chicken? I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. I sold a bunch to a girl who does animal therapy in hospitals, she wanted a therapy pet that would also do something. She said they were recommended to her at school.

But really I think its because they cant see anything so they cant run

My baby ducks are being shipped today. I pray this storm doesn't affect them and they arrive safe and sound tomorrow or Saturday. She put several cups of grow gel in there for the wee things. Can't wait to get them. Appleyards from a good breeder. Why does that always feel so good? It just feels so worth it! I hope to have a nice Appleyard flock in a couple years!

Exciting! Celtic does have wonderful ducks. I don't know appleyards but you seem to have had enough types to know where they want! I don't envy you baby ducks however, they are cute as pie but the messiest things on earth.

Ohh question. When the new coop is done and we move the chickens into it- they are going to stress and stop laying aren't they? If they do, does this sort of thing generally last days, weeks or months?

My girls don't mind if they are sleeping somewhere different, as long as the other things are mostly the same. Having all their friends around and the same area outside will go a long way to not stressing them out.

I didn't get notices all day from BYC. But I did get my feed coupon!

Here is My chicken story f the day.
I hatched a zillion chicks this week and have 1.5 broodies on them ( one broodie is only willing to sit on them at night, nothing else, she broke being broody they day they hatched but she is still mildly interested) So I have the brinsea in there after one chick got crushed under poor sparkles because everyone was trying to get under her.

Sparkles has a long history as a chick stealer. So, she has become upset with the brinsea. Today when I got home a lot of chicks were taking a nap under it. She started clucking to them but only a few came over. SO she went to go sit on top of the brinsea. the chicks that were originally under her were all like "......."

Of course then she saw them and decided that was a bigger pile and went back. She is my most amusing broody. This is her 4th time since I got her in may.

Scalpie is doing better. She is clearly healing because she is itching like crazy. She looks so funny with her dome exposed and only feathers around her face. Once my phone is back if I can figure out how to hide a picture link is spoilers ill post it, its still a bit freaky looking to just post.

Thank you for the Silkie history and the great chicken story!

My flock gets pumpkins because they are good for them and they like them, but I know from experience that they don't keep your birds worm free.

Cooper............you are close. Any cars that don't run in your yard?
