Does anyone know where I can buy a couple Barred Rock pullets in central Indiana? Please PM if so.

I'm a bit behind but in case your post got missed @SallyinIndiana usually has them "in stock"

Tons of rain today! The chickens wont even venture out of the barn doors today! The ducks on the other hand are having a blast!

I'll be making a batch of soaps tonight. Its early but I want it to cure out for a long time before Christmas gifts are getting passed out to teachers, delivery people, and a few others.

I'm hoping this newest recipe turns out greater than all of my other test recipes. I'll be finishing off my lemon soap scent so if anyone knows of a great place to order soap scents for a reasonable amount, let me know.

Bittersweet day today! We sold all 3 of our horses... We just didn't give them the attention they needed or deserved and to be honest our farm is going in a different direction than horses. This is not a situation like we bought them and then figured out we didn't want them anymore. They kinda came with our farm that we bought from my in laws. Our oldest horse was as old as my oldest child so they have been a part of the family. It was a hard decision to make and it took us a year to make it.
The good news is they went together and to a good training facility that will use them as they were meant to be used. And our other livestock will now have the barn space and pasture.
Feeling sad but relieved this evening... Kabhyper1 can tell you that although these horses were not broke as they should have been they were very special and great horses.

I'm happy they are going to be trained and used. They will have a great quality of life with the new owner. You guys were great to them. They will be happy.

@Mother2Hens thanks for the predator list!! I knew I had seen it somewhere but had yet to find it again. I'm almost positive I have a rat, a very smart rat!

Behind on posts again--can't seem to keep caught up.
A week ago I posted that I was having my flock tested because of an unusual number of deaths. The vet from BOAH came last Saturday and I got the results Tuesday. Clean!

The vet commented that he would rather test 20 false alarms than find one positive.

I have 150 cornish x from Central Hatchery that need to go ASAP! I thought my order was cancelled. They were just delivered @4pm May 29. I DO NOT have the ability to care for any chicks right now. Located in Ft. Wayne, IN.

Did you find a place for them?i wouldn't be able to take all of them, but maybe some. Would have to check with my husband.

I am getting chicks for the first time. They are not vaccinated. What diseases and illness are prevalent in our area, Mooresville, In (central Indiana). Should I buy vaccines for 6-8 chicks? Also what first aid, medicines, and sickness supplies should I keep on hand? Thanks!!
