That might be a problem... I'm not sure how broody Barred Rocks are, so if you want chicks, you might have to get one that will actually sit on eggs. None of my RIR, Rocks or Leghorns have ever acted broody.

Ive seen the word "Broody" alot. What does that mean? I was thinking about putting them in a incubator and doing them that way.

WIll mites/lice look like a small bit of drandruff from just looking at them?

Lice are whittish in color and are fast movers, you'll be able to see them moving around very easily. Mites look like pepper, slow movers, suck blood. Got a magnifying glass? This link will help you identify the different types of lice/mites there are:

Im leaning towards the DE stuff. We havent caught them to check yet but I figure even if they dont have any, that its a good idea to go ahead and dust them since we are getting 5 new ones tomorrow. Yay for me....I will get to clean out the whole pen on my own tomorrow!

Anyone ever use Garlic in their drinking water?
