Hiya!
We (dad and I) collected my mother from the airport today. She got me a blue Alice-band from Pennsylvania.
A quick fact I just learnt, William Penn was the first governor of PA. And Pennsylvania was named after him.
First person born in America from England decent, Virginia Dare. I really like my America history and Curriculum.

We are about to find out if 1 drop pour-on Ivermectin will hurt/kill 6 week old chicks. Cross your fingers for me. The deed is done.
This is my first experience with Ivermectin. Let's hope I am not going to regret this.

It's Ivermectin Pour-On for Cattle 5mg.
I'm using a syringe dropper, giving bantam size 2 drops, full size heavy hens 4 drops, big marans roosters 5 drops. The chicks got one drop. We found white lice in today's inspection, and I believe we have mites too. Chickens are losing weight and going bald, despite aprons on the girls. It's too severe to be a moult.
I read this board for about an hour in the "search feature" and have found people that love using it, and people who recommend that you do not. But I used Sevin the last time, cleared out the coop and here we are-- more lice. Trying something new/different/drastic. I may be a chicken-less woman in the morning.
The chicks have had it on for several hours and are acting fine. I gave them worms and raisins tonight and they danced like wild things!

Well that just sucks big time. I am soooo glad our dry climate doesn't allow pests like that to live. No roaches, mites, lice, fleas, etc. I LOVE IT! We do get flies though. ICK!

Well folks we found a place today that we both LOVE. The only problem is passing the background check process. We were honest and told them our credit is less than stellar, but we are also one of the first couples to show up who have verifiable income!!! I REALLY hope we get it.
