Hope everyone had a great Independence day! Our neighbors shot off some fireworks, so I got to watch fireworks straight from my backyard! Also here is a pic of my guinea, I took it out in the yard for a while today so it could get some sun and grass, but I have it back under the heat lamp tonight.

4 bantam hens, & my last extra Malay cockerel will be getting a new home.

Why are you getting rid of them??

Why are you getting rid of them??

The Bantam Coop is crowded, & is needing more space.

The one Malay is an extra out of the original 7 that I hatched. I had 5 cockerels, & 2 pullets. Now I'm down to 3 cockerels, & 2 pullets. (I got 2 more Malay pullets from a different breeder)

The guy who wants a Malay Cockerel wants me to sell him a Pullet to breed to his Thai rooster, but I need to keep my pullets, but I can hatch him one next year, just for that purpose.

Demon thought he was big, & bad today. He kicked me up my legs twice. I snagged him up, & held him like a football. He hates that, & will avoid me for awhile before he decides he needs to be a Demon again.

There's a New Bird Disease going around effecting many bird species, & it's spread as far as Ohio.

Symptoms seen are: Crusty, swollen eyes, erratic flight pattern, stumbling, I believe Paralysis was mentioned too.
