Planes are higher than that.

i wouldnt know

Apparently the coaster was just designed, but not built. It is called the euthanasia coaster. Two minutes at two g's kills you. So it gives the ultimate adrenaline rush before killing you.

scary

Cute little buggers. What flavor? Yes a squeak is a boy and a quack is a girl.

snowy calls
i thought so

This morning after leaving the barn my daughter looks up at me and says, 'I think we are being followed.'
i was like 'no honey, we just gave them a bunch of watermelon, theyre all set for awhile'

well, i was wrong

Lets not force our views on the younger viewers here on this thread ok? They know what is wrong with their chicks, have been told enough times and it is up to them to get the meds. If they do not want to listen to all of you, just let it go. Don't get yourselves into trouble arguing about it please?

And as for this "younger viewer", just crack open your allowance and buy the meds?? If you won't go earn the money or don't want to spend your own, you can't keep asking for advice. There IS no other answer. If you are losing chicks to cocci, Corid is the answer. Simple as that. 

Carry on everyone and have a fabulous day!

OK

nope, different person, for 3 ducks and 3 eggs it cost me $10, and my dad picked them up for me

almost 2 hours away

So at what temperature is it too hot to have a hen brood? With these temps over 100, I think I am better off breaking her. Any opinions?

...

Nobody here "loves" me. I doubt many here would even notice if I vanished.

...

I doubt that's true.

Hahaha still can't sleep. Gonna be a long day...coffee is in order.

Boned up on respiratory bacterial infections that effect poultry and I agree with the doctor that a run of antibiotics and we can reintegrate. It's not bronchitis, it's a respiratory infection...and not one of the nasty ones, gods bless.

Did you also bone up on bacterial infections that have no cure or other respiratory issues that antibiotics can't help like viral, fungal, environmental, nutritional, protozoal.
Most things that afflict chickens can't be helped with antibiotics.

For what you said, silly!
Good night!
Girl, the fact that I had to stop driving while I was married doesn't mean I never drove.

Your husband wouldn't let you drive? Was he Saudi?

So what breeds are everyone's favorites / what do you keep?
My favorites are
Barnevelders
Dominique's
Brahmas
Olive/Easter eggers

We also keep
Orps
We have a maran chick
Some silkie chicks
2 New Hampshire reds
Sussex
Rocks
And mixes because mixes are great!

We plan to eventually keep orloffs as well but we are focused on the top 4 mixes ATM though we don't breed doms or brahmas yet, we are slowly building up our flock of doms and I think next year will think about that. And I wouldn't mind hatching a few brahmas either!

I'm Curious what you're all breeds of choice are?!

Jersey Giants (I've had all 3 varieties - black, white and blue)
Jaerhons
Minorcas (love whites)
Welsummers
Anconas
And my number 1 favorite - Penedesenca in the DP black variety.

Breeds I've never had but want.
Fayoumi
Cubalaya
Quetro
Genetic Hackle

Greetings, earthlings that are still awake!
I locked up the flock, and went back into the house. The dog was off doing… Whatever it is that dogs do.
When he finally came to the door to be let in, I realized that a skunk had just sprayed right outside the door! The dog was acting weird, and would not come near me for me to check him. Since the smell of skunk was already in my nostrils, I could not tell if he had gotten hit.
...

This dog I'll be babysitting a couple more days is the most amazing dog. Almost annoying. I've never had such an obedient animal. She won't do anything until she's told to.
She just stands there looking at you waiting for a command.
I'm thinking that must be a weird life for any animal.

I can wait for it to hatch. This feels like forever

You can wait or can't wait?

I'm going to big town today (an hour drive) to get hair cuts for me and the kids. I'm about to shower and put on nice clothes. If that doesn't trigger goat labor, I don't know what will.

Big town. Deridder or Lake Charles?

Well one of my chicks had died that make two that has died on me and I need that cocci treatment stuff but I don't have the money to get the stuff

So what's your plan?

And I don't have the money to get the stuff to heal them

There is another option besides medication.
Good management.
Keeping bedding bone dry and feeders full virtually eliminates any possibility of coccidiosis.
I haven't used medicated feed in about 6 years and the last time I used Corid was 4 years ago.

Thanks. That's interesting. So, is that what a chicken egg's shell temp should be, or a pea egg's shell temp?

What kind of fox? He sounds pretty bold! That's good that you're locking the chickens up early. The grey fox at our house came somewhere around 5:00-5:30, so that's what I have to do, too.

Awww they are so adorable!

Body temperature of an adult chicken can vary between 105 and 107.

Can I get a free bag of that stuff anywhere

I'm not aware of any stores that give their products away. If you find one, let me know.

here are the 5 stolen chicks as of this morning
