Michiana-ers. I have a Barred Rock cockerel for anyone that wants him. He came from my local BigR who I believe got him from Cackle Hatchery. All I ask is that you be willing to give me constructive feedback on my setup.

PM me for discussion.

I am so sad. Lost 2 chicks last night. That brings the grand total to four chicks that died that all came from same place - never lost chicks before hers.

We finally seem to be winning the battle with the lice but it is time consing to wash and dry 19 chicks, well now only 17. The washing was finally what worked. Felt like things were looking up with these chicks finally. And now this. They seemed fine yesterday.

I just want to cry. I've been sick which probably makes me feel worse about this. I can't believe what a nightmare these chicks have been.

Assuming you were talking to me- these chicks came with lice. Never in my wildest dreams did I think new babes would have lice- the lady I got them from did have them outside. They are inside here and always have been. No one else - meaning my hens, pullets and cockerels, who are outside have lice. Hopefully we can keep it that way. We've been very careful about how we handle these chicks so not to carry lice or eggs to the rest of our flock.

I'm seriously done with getting birds from people I dont know. Things are too easily brought into flocks. Even if kept separate. I am sorry you are dealing with this!

MEN to that. Silly me thought NPIP cert. was enough. Live and learn (and meanwhile have lots of extra work and hurt)
