yea! fife. glad to hear your flock is OK. Love all the pics. like the idea of marking the eggs, were those your's chickmate? do you use a washable marker? Out of my 22 hens I got 1 egg today. :
can't eat them right now any how. we are still treating sick birds. The first hen to get sick was having a very hard time she is back in the basement. I have been giving her honey water. as the 5 day treatment is up. I had to force feed her for 2 days. now she is drinking by her self and eating a little, even getting a little spunk back. I think she will make it. between the stongyles,coccidia and molting it has been a rough fall. Hope the next 3 years will be free of sickness like the first 3. Thanks again to chickengrandma for the help with the vet. Maybe if more people pester TSC and Farm and home to get chicken meds, it wouldn't be so hard to find. I have come to the conclusion that to many people with chickens, just let them die if they get sick then buy more. problem with that is they never get the problem solved; cause they don't know what the problem was in the first place. Too many people like the ones fuzzy met. Chickmate were did you get your Marans? I got mine form Jerry Canfield in Ada. would like to get more next spring. They are such pretty birds and very gentle .
