@minihorse927 , just read about the Georgia article. Sad. I've been laying low. None of government's business how I conduct my chicken business. Even got a few "odd calls" off CL ad, so deleted that. Maybe it was the government nosing around. Wanted to meet with a man who wanted to buy a rooster. However, he was insistent on coming here. I explained that I didn't want cross contamination of farms & that we practice bio security. He was not happy, and has not called back. Such is life.

We are getting eggs out our ears too @Alaskan . Donating 10+ dozen a week to local food pantry.

It's been pouring rain here for a week. Everyday.....rain. Guess what it's doing now. Yeap. Raining.

You all have a great day. I'll check in when I get a chance.

funny, I've got 3 CL ads and no odd ball calls yet. Well, crazy duck guy, but that's it. I put in the ads clearly no farm pickups or visits due to the AI.

Arrrgg!!! Had a truck rip out our cable, internet, phone line yesterday and just now got it fixed! Tryin to catch up...

Alaskan, sorry about the egg asstmnt... but YAY!! for baby duckies!!!

BC, yep that food will work fine for them all...

Raz, nice teenagers!! Bama sends out cute chicks, lol...

As for CL, I state clearly that must meet in town... had one want to come to our place and he didn't call back either when I said no due to biosecurity...

Hope all is well with everyone!!

Well, it's official. Ohio has had plenty of rain and it needs to stop. My grow out pen is flooded. Had to rescue 20 grow out who are no longer identifiable due to mud, including my svart hona! They're now living with the Swedish flowers cause they're good and dry in there. Found 1 ohiki already down and about dead. Gave her a warm rinse off and wrapped her up, some nutri drench, and put her in a dark corner in a clothes basket. She's quietly chirping so maybe she'll pull through this.

First not enough rain, now too much rain.

It started to rain here a while ago too. Here I was going to built another duck run, but when its that wet the mosquitoes are just nasty.

Hope all your chickens pull through

we have been unseasonably dry we just had a rain first time in several weeks......





so far no problem with feathered feet and the sand.. I just dont think their will be the problem with sticky mud because the dirt is almost pure sand.......

everyones having alot of fun in the evening when 50 and I let the girls out to romp around the yard.........be glad when can get the tree out and I can finish enclosing the free range area completely

I hope your Ohiki pulls through.

I hope your Ohiki pulls through.

X2 on the poor baby.

We've had so much more rain than normal that no where in the state is still in a drought condition. Up here we have had rain literally every other day! Nothing has the chance to dry out, the weeds in the gardens are impossible to keep up with and the mosquitoes are so bad I swear we got transported to the Washington rain forest!!!

thank you guys. I come back in from feeding and she's willing to open her eyes if I mess with her. Gave her another rinse since she was so muddy. Got most of it off now. She stinks to high heaven. Her face was completely packed full of mud. She's willing to open one eye more than the other. The one she doesn't want to open as much was full of mud. Cleaned it out and put some terramycin ointment in it. I think if she pulls through the night she'll be fine. I think between the mud and rain she just got too cold.
