I am so happy there is a spell check button.​

Hello Fellow Michiganers! Been awhile since I have been on, life is busy, computer is too slow to wait for it to work, and the weather has been great.

In September my daughter got some baby chicks from Michigan State University eggs. Out of the 9 bantams, 6 are roosters! So she is selling 4 roosters. Price is $10 each, please reply ASAP, as we don't have the room for them.

1- White Cochin
1- Black Cochin
1- Buff Brahma
1- unknown....

I posted on my facebook page and the only responses so far have been about if they are ready to butcher, clueless folks!

Hope to hear from you soon!

GRRR I HATE CHANGE!!! REALLY REALLY hate it!! I just don't have the brain power for this. First facebook then gmail now this.

Some of it is ok but I just hate figuring stuff out.


So, the good news is I have my first turkey related item thanks to my wonderful friend ChickwannaB. She sent me a beautiful magazine which I absolutely love! I was having a really rough day and she totally cheered me up!!

Now all I need are the turkeys!

Went for my walk this morning. I'm glad I cut it short. Came back to find a hawk on top of my oldest hen tearing her apart! My first hawk attack in the more than 5 yrs of keeping chickens. I put saline on her, it's a pretty open wound. Waiting for the bag balm to soften a little so I can put some on the wound. Put some aspirin in her water. Just gave her some egg/pellet mixture and she's eating. Poor thing. I knew I should have waited until after the walk to let em out. But it was such a beautiful day and snow tomorrow. Not worth it tho.

Very confused but working on figuring out this new format. Maybe I'll even be able to post a photo one day~

Chickflick - so sorry about your older hen. I lost one that way because her injuries were too severe. Hope yours recovers just fine!

can't figure out why I am not getting e-mail notice when new post to threads I subscribe to, any ideas?

Aspirin acts as a blood thinner. I don't think I would want that with an open wound.

I hope it goes well for you. I wonder if this weather is affecting the predators? Ours in the area are getting more bold than what is usual, even for this time of year.....

I wonder if the yucca will help my 2 fart box dogs not stink so bad when the have flatulence...

I don't know about that one!!! By the way, i was thinking about you and i remembered that Randy also sells at the Newago auction sometimes, and i know that he is willing to meet up in the parking lot or nearby gas station, to avoid exposing the chicks to the auction. I don't know if that would be close to you at all or not. I wish i knew what exactly his looked like. We need to gang up on him and get him to BYC! I think he'd fit in nicely.

Not sure if this will work or not. My wife who is always saying "Are you on that chicken site again?" said she really like the new format, so that's a step in the right direction.

Bianca- I had to log back in and change my password, and make sure I was subscribed. I haven't gone back to see if I'm getting email notices yet though.

I hope all is well with everyone.
