Story of last night when hubs was so kind to close up the chickens and grab me eggs cause I am sick........



Hubs returns inside out of breath: "I think we have a sick hen"

Me in a panic: "why? whats wrong?"

Hubs: "She is sitting there not moving all fluffed up and looking really ILL"

Me in a frenzy of panic with disease floating in the air of my brain "OMGAWD is she in the coop or outside?"

Hubs in a sad voice: "She is in the coop all fluffed and sick, its my favorite hen too <curse word> the black tailed one"

Me in a sad pathetic voice: "Hun, is she in a nesting box?"

Hubs in a sad voice: "yea, she just sits there and looks at me and I know something isnt right, should I remove her?"

Me almost cracking through to laughter: "No, but you could give her a few eggs to sit on if she is broody"

Hubs with bright eyes in dawning: "Broody?"

Me tearing with laughter ......

someone get me the mop

Some old, some fresh. The oldest ones are about 12 days old.

There are only 3 hens that I'm collecting from; 2 silver laced and 1 black bantam.

I'm tempted to throw some of the other eggs in, but I really shouldn't. There's no need for mixed colored chicks.

maybe I should give you my pager. lol

Start with agrimycin. If not clear in a day, try dimethox.

If you can only stock one, keep dimethox

Sorry

why not mixed colored? Can you sell the chicks for a bag of feed ????


Even a buck a piece its more than you woulda gotten eating it!



Coch you know I said my brahma are not pipped yet? Well I finally figured it out! I am seriously not having enough bator space so the brahma eggs were in the stryo bator for a week while the CCL where in the coolerbator the entire time, so I will now assume that my styro thermos are not calibrated anymore! I actually wrote everything down and forgot I scribbled what I was doing! So now that at least makes sense!

Tornado Watch is in effect!!! SERIOUSLY! OMGAWD I need to move!

It's awful here. We got 12+ inches of snow yesterday with wind gusts of 50 mph. They held back all of the snow plows because of zero visibility. Nearly all of the highways and freeways were shut down this morning because of the drifting. We have a couple of 5 ft. drifts! They're almost as tall as me.

I ran down to the barn late last night to check on the birds. I was trying to shield my face from the icy wind so I wasn't really looking where I was going and I ended face down in a drift blocking the barn. I'm sick of winter.

Tornado watch. Does that mean it's gotten warmer where you are? Be safe!

True, but those hens are also of lesser quality. I chose the ones that I wanted to breed ahead of time.

I hope Goosey lays me a few eggs this spring. I don't want anymore geese, but sebastopol goslings seem to sell for a minimum of $75 a piece.

Good luck with the brahma. Hopefully they'll start hatching soon.

The Di-Methox dosage is in this section...... and its in two forms, powder and liquid.....

The Sulfadimethoxine Soluble powder, soluble liquid


agrimycin I believe is the Oxytetracycline section

But I am not sure on the agrimycin with layers and eating eggs??? you will have to research this stuff too!
