Here are 3 of my new little Langshans. A splash, a black, and a blue. There are 2 more little blacks as well. I took them outside to do some scratching yesterday. They loved it!

Anyone hatch Chukar yet? I need some pointers, what a pain in the bleep! The chukar are hatching and my bator looks like a murder scene, NEVER EVER had such issues hatching something! They pipped over two days ago, and the pips never opened at all, just cracks, so after a day I pulled a tad off at the pips and saw beaks and let them go, another day and a half! I should have read up on incubating them, they take much much longer in the rest stage! Do and learn right? slowly one by one they are escaping their confinement! I had one dead stuck in shell so I am assisting a bunch and had like four pop out so far. I just don't get them!

This chicken hobby has become a full-time job for me.

I spent most of the day in the rain moving chickens around. I moved 8 young guineas to their own pen in back yard. My white Silkies now have their own pen

. The cochins are in their own pen, the colors are mixed together, but they are too young to get their groove on..

Didn't realize how many w/c black polish I had until I put them in together.. Still have 2 brooders going and my incubators full. I believe I need a intervention..

oh yeah and eggs going in as soon as incubator is empty..

ah you and me both!

just spent 20 mins chasing the stupid ducks... they'd rather mess around then go in the pen... lmao D'OH now back out to get more crap handled blah

What they are not trained? he he he

I have mites!!

I have a jar of poultry dust with permethrin. Can I just dust the coop and nesting boxes or do I have to do all the chickens too

?

gracie that sucks!

 

[Sally Sunshine]

Do all the chickens too. Then repeat again in 7-10 days. And then again just to be sure you got them all. Sorry.

agree! and whenever I do my coops changing of bedding I use my sprayer with sevin in it and spray it down lightly and add dust when dry then add bedding, and every 3 four months I hit the birds up with a nylon with the dust in it and pat them down under wings butts all over!
