Hatching
Well, spring is here, and this year I've added 3 hens to my suburban homestead. I've already got more lettuce, spinach, and cabbage than I can eat, I grow tomatoes in the cool season (I hesitate to call it winter here,) I keep various peppers year round, various herbs, and even started some quick radishes this year.
My 3 girls are all Golden Laced Wyandotte pullets, from the same batch, around 6 months old. I purchased them from our local 4-H club at the county fair. We moved them into their large hen house with ~10'x5' run two days ago, and all three have produced their first egg in their new home.
One problem I've noticed is that my girls most definitely have a roundworm infestation, and I'm wondering about the best treatment available in the US? I plan to UTFSE and possibly open a thread in the appropriate area, but any help here would be appreciated as well.
I am looking forward to being a productive member of this forum!
