I think it is Beasley Feed in Baker. In Zachary there is Zachary Feed, they have chicks, and there is the Co-op in Slaughter/Ethel which also has chicks. I got Golden Comets at the co-op last year and Zachary Feed currently has RIR's and Americaunas

Ugh. Horrid weather today. Hope y'all stay safe!

Hey y'all! Do any of you by chance have any experience with the parish cooperative extension service for agriculture? In the Feliciana parishes where we used to live, we knew the guy really well, but we aren't sure for EBRP. I need to get a Marek's vaccine for chicks I'm hatching myself. In Texas, we used to just call the co-op extension and they'd come vax our chicks at our house. Thanks!

Haven't fooled with them in a while...let us know what you find out!

Thinking about getting a Marek's vaccine kit from First Vet. It has a wafer, diluent, and needles. It costs $51 and is 1000 doses. Might use enough to vax my chicks and then sell the rest of the wafer and diluent.

1000 doses...that's a lot of injected chickens1

Everyone from EBRP goes to tri parish in slaughter , dodges in denham, or old time market in ascension. We dont have anything like that here.

Would someone in the DS area be willing to teach me how to trim my chickens wings? I have 19, 1 year down to 7 weeks. I'm a kinesthetic learner, so I learn best by doing.

 

[jus10inla]

Just do one wing. Makes them get off bAlance more . Use a SHARP pair of scissors. I use kitchen shears honestly.

Theres 2 rows of feathers per wing. Just make the longer even with second set. Bird may scream but there ok, leave the feathers there too. Other birds will eat them for nutrients. I do all mine once a month.

Dogs are stinking wet.
