Oh, so loud. And it is relentless. You almost have to gag them before they stop.


It sounds like [COLOR=B22222]HELP  HELP  HELP  HELP  HELP  HELP  HELP  HELP  HELP[/COLOR] ETC..

I will look them over but won't treat if I don't find anything. I may put some DE and 5% Sevin in the shavings of the cage birds today since they came from elsewhere.
This may sound hard to believe but I've never found a mite or louse on my birds.
After thousands of birds, I've only wormed about 4 birds.

You have to do quarterly testing there? What a hassle. P/T testing in MO is only required to be annually.
Quarterly testing is only required here for MG, MS, etc., and that's only for commercial flocks.

Have fun. I'm jealous- except I don't like camping on holiday weekends. Too many people.
Who takes care of your birds while you're gone?

Oddly, the campground isn't filled. None of us remembered it was a holiday weekend until we had trouble making reservations. Currently, I'm in the middle of where everyone lives. So we will be less than an hour from here. I will come back if I get too antsy, but everyone will be OK inside the double coop. The wall has been removed to allow free access to the entire building. With four drakes gone now, there is plenty of room.

Abi! I cant stand that flickering of your Avatar! I can't read your posts!

Good Morning all! I have officially been caffeine-free for 8 years as of yesterday!

I tried and didnt last an hour after I got up. My head just dont like not having it.

THEREEEEEEEEEE!!

I've never had a bird scream.... Are they really that loud?

Oh, so loud. And it is relentless. You almost have to gag them before they stop.

My weekend started yesterday at 10a.m. I had half a day off and today too, plus the weekend and Monday. I so need it, behind on things at home but need time to chill with hubby too. My big rooster does that and half of my hens, where the rest are use to it thankfully. Fester makes enough racket then gets the rest of them going. I try to wear ear plugs when we need to pick him up. Also I am glad I don't speak chicken since I am positive what he says is not nice, fowl mouthed bird!

It sounds like [COLOR=B22222]HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP[/COLOR] ETC..

... enjoy the testing lol will you treat them for externals and internals while you have them all in hand? Thats what I did testing quarterly for npip or you only treat if issue? pretty handsome!

I will look them over but won't treat if I don't find anything. I may put some DE and 5% Sevin in the shavings of the cage birds today since they came from elsewhere.

yes quarterly or AI One of the big reasons I said scrap it, not testing this year. The worst is middle of winter and you have to bring them inside and try to get blood. We are both CPTs and it just stinks big time in the winter. snow ice on the ground is NOT good when trying to catch carry and walk with them either. I think its crazy quarterly but PA is PA

Broody hatched out two of these things. They won't hold still for a proper picture.

cute!!!! what type is that its black

Hi yall

 

[Akrnaf2]

I "sold" six chickens today: 2 hens I sold. 2 chicks I threw in for free because the little girl was cute and loved them. 2 more hens I sold for a little cash and the promise of hatching eggs in the spring. That's really helping me decrease my numbers.

Eat some of them!
You will have a wonderful dinner AND you will reduce your numbers! Dont give them for free, you invested to much time and money on them not to enjoy them!

BENNY STOP TELLING ME TO EAT MY CHICKENS. I have 6 in the dinner club just getting a little more meat on their bones before I send their invitations.

I grew up skinning and eating all sorts of wild game. I'm not squeamish about it. It's just not the right time yet.
