Hi all. I'm looking for a Serama or sumatra cockerel for my son. He wants one he can use for 4h so it has to be very young. Pm me if any are available. Thanks.

BYC was updated this morning--the site was down for quite some time. Hopefully the upload problem has been fixed!

Please try posting again.

When we get home I'll try those pictures again. Just checking, twice this week we stopped in at TSC and b they don't have any feather fixer. They told me today that they aren't going to carry it anymore! What?? Why??2nd trip this week, so I guess I'll be going back to Big R....

The full name is Ottman so no not related. I did go to high school in Red Bluff With an Ott though. I think it was Michael Ott.

They're all treated. It was crazy how many came off the poor little guys.
How long should I wait before letting them go under their mom (they're under a heat lamp) since I treated her as well?

How are they doing?

Mites are terrible!

They really are awful. SO hard to get rid of.

Check them tomorrow--The new ones may be coming form outside the coop. For a day or so, the spinosad will keep killing the ones that get to them. As long as the infestation does not go too crazy, wait 7 days to treat again.
