Why don't y'all just say "More chickens"?

Quote: Sally - read the Permethrin Spray thread, they talk a lot about the effectiveness, how long, etc., and how much cheaper this is compared to the dust, easy to spray the chickens on the roost (dose per bird isn't much), and easier to treat the coop as well. I think all those details are there. (Someone who was dealing with an recurrent outbreak used it, and kept reporting back "no mites" for quite a while...)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Yeah I know, firing up the Brinsea is tempting but it's 10 degrees here this morning and brooding chicks in the house with 5 cats roaming around isn't the easiest thing to do. I promised DH I'd wait till it was warm enough to set up the stock tank in our shop as a brooder. That means March here since the shop is unheated. Yeah, it's tough. I did a dry run with it when it arrived and it was holding the temp at 99.5 confirmed. I have to check it with the humidity monitory I just picked up on fleaBay but I'm not expecting a problem with that.

More than one, I think

I even sat within range of a Deer Crossing sign for two days in a row. Not a single deer ever crossed there.

Did you know I already submitted that form ??

I strike the jackpot!
DW( she is an Electronic practical engeenr) work received a new company to represent, and they have this



Highly accurate and highly calibrated temp and hygro meter (0.01C and 0.01%!), which is part of an evaluation bord of a bigger system.

Guess what I am going to use it for?

Besides, I only have pullets laying right now and I'm about ready to start squeezing eggs out of my mature hens. My young cockerels are wanting to make sure the eggs they lay are fertile but the hens will have nothing to do with them right now. I really don't want to set the pullet eggs as they are quite small.

Last fall an Amish neighbor gave me 8 OEGB cross (with what he doesn't know but for sure one rooster was a bantam cochin) eggs to stick under my first time broody hen just for something different. 4 out of 5 chicks survived 4 died in shell mainly because my bird brained broody crapped all over them before I caught that she wasn't getting off the nest. Later the neighbor told me that they butchered the Cochin rooster

for meat and 'ya know, that bird didn't have any meat on it at all!' quote!

I managed not to stand there gaping at him in disbelief and told my husband that I had to give those people a start of meat birds because they were eating ornamental chickens.

So I'm waiting for my girls to start to lay again and waiting for the roosters to get the job done with them so I can hatch 8 chicks in March to give to them.

THEN! Bex wants bantams! I have a source for splash Cochin eggs buy what I really would like to find is somebody nearby with pure bred OEGBs. Eggs will either go in the 'bator or under a broody, whichever comes first.
