INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

So

Ugh. Woke up to a buff orps that had her head stuck at some point in the night. She was dead when we found her. She was definitely my favorite .Then the yellow, turned white chicken that the kids HAD to have a while back that I've been babying from day one died also. She was one of the sickly ones I bought at Tractor Supply. We got her this far so I hoped I could pull her through she ate like she was always starving, never walked right, and slept 90% of the time. Not sure if she was just THAT sick/hurt or if it was because I'm so new with chickens.

sorry to hear about your losses. Hope things get better for you

how did she get her head stuck? was she trying to get out of the chicken wire?

If you are close to Bargersville, I have healthy RIR chicks. These are a light red now and will have redish brownish feathers they are not the heritage dark RIR.

Lots of rain here, much of the chicken run has puddles or mud. I despise mud. And of course it is by the door so the solutions are limited.

Old Salt~ My Dad used to say that he was a "Wastebasket of Knowledge" because he always amazed us by being able to answer any question. I think a lot had to do with age-- that's one of the few things that's going about getting old.

At 68, I'm getting old. Getting smart was what I was hoping for. And rich. Oh well, maybe the hindu's are on to something and in the next life I might accomplish something marvelous.

Of course, I won't get the opportunity for another 30 years.

Adeline admired herself for probably close to 20 minutes, occasionally checking the other side of the mirror. Violet dozed and on and off. : - )

Ha, when my rooster was a chick he was all by him self so i put a mirror in with him.He completley ignored it, and he has always been a loner.

She and her sisters sleep in a kennel in Tue coop. We've been working on getting them all used to each other. She got stuck between the kennel wire and the wall, it looks like. Hate it!
