We have pigeons. My daughter shows them in 4-H and open shows. Seems like alot of people like them for pets.they are pretty and there is alot of different breeds. pic of my daughters pigeons
they are pretty do you eat there eggs or do anything else besides show them???
Do you know how many weeks out it would be before you get them? I would really like a Salmon Faverolle if I could coordinate getting her at the same time as a couple of others I'd like.
I have a long wishlist but I can only squeeze it into about 4, maybe six chicks. This year I'm also hoping to get a Buckeye (hopefully from LAM), a Black Copper Marans, an Orpington (not sure what kind), a Swedish Flower, and a Welsummer. EE's are always welcome around here too!
Here is a link to their page: http://www2.dupont.com/Virkon_S/en_GB/index.html. I know its important to clean everything well, but its just in my nature to mistrust things made by companies like Dupont. I wish there were something more natural I could use, but from all of my reading, this is the only one that specifies Marek's.
I remember seeing this one at the fair. It was so amazing in person, just gorgeous! My kids and I spent a long time trying to get a look at its face because it often seemed to be turning away from people...not that I blame it from being crowd shy.
Today is just a little crazy. I am not kidding that last night may have been the worst night of sleep in the history of sleep. It was comical how bad..My whole family has been trying to get over a sinus cold for the last few weeks. Our two youngest ended up with sinus/ear infections. They both got antibiotics and seemed to be on the mend, but now for some reason some of us are now sick with upset stomachs. I was so excited yesterday when my little girl finally went to school. Last night I go to bed and she wakes me up at two by getting sick all over my bed...GROSS.
So we take showers, get into her bed.. Almost asleep...little Max (recovering from surgery) comes to get me because he wants outside...almost asleep... thunder and lightening start...almost asleep... son wakes up...almost asleep...water softener kicks in and wakes son up again...almost asleep...storm comes AGAIN...sleep...alarm goes off to get kids to school...is anyone going to school today???? I have no idea because I can't think.
My DH is having the most important week of his career right now and he was also up all night. I think we met in the hallway around 5 am just laughing because we were so tired and there was no hope in sight. This parenting gig is so not for the wimpy! I am so looking forward to the weekend
. I know I'm whining, but I just want to let you know if I send out anything truly crazy later on today, you will know what happened. I'm just a little kookier than usual today.
Thank goodness all of my chickens are healthy because with one cat, one dog, and all family members on medicine right now, I need alarms to remember who takes what when!
AND- I really hope your son gets back on track. Its really hard when everyone is out of sync. He's still young enough for a nap time isn't he? Wasn't he one of the babies at the Poultryfest?
Have you ever try essential oils. I have terrible sinuses, usually 4-6 infections a year, When my sinusis act up. I take 8-20 thousands miligrms of vit c. and put essentil oils in my candle warmer. and I haven't had infection for 2 yrs, since I've been doing this. haven't gotten sick either, though everyone around me is sick.Here is a link to their page: http://www2.dupont.com/Virkon_S/en_GB/index.html.

I went to the web site and looked, but couldn't find an ingredient list . did anyone else see it. ??

Sympathizing with all the lack 'o sleep crew. Dogs woke me up barking at 4am. Looked out the window and the local coyote pack was in our yard near the barn. Got dressed and took the dogs out with me to the barn. Made sure to make a lot of noise on the way there. Didn't find any issues around the chicken and turkey pens, so made a loop around the barn. Then the thunder and lightning started and my big brave coyote chasing dogs basically drug me back to the house. That pretty much ended the night for me, couldn't get back to sleep. Combined with a few other sleepless nights recently, I'm pretty much in zombie mode. I'm right there with ya on counting down to the weekend.
All chickens are and will ONLY ever be used as PETS!!!
