Hi guys, my name is Stephanie. I've been trying my hand at chickens, ducks and turkeys for 3 years now. With not much luck. Every time it becomes summer here in eastern NC and the severe thunder storms start, after every storm one or two die. I just got 10 new Barred Rock chicks today and am going to try again. I do have 1 full grown hen, a White Plymouth Rock,from last year that survived
. However she is still not laying. I love watching them in the yard, they can be quit comical at times. And absolutely love the fresh eggs. I do a lot of cake making so having all the fresh eggs is so nice, plus the family loves them.
I'm a stay at home mom, so I got chickens to replace my babies, since they are all in school now
. But I love teaching the kids about the chickens, and we all are learning things about them together. I also do a lot of sewing and gardening. At this moment I am making an enclosure for our boat so we can use it even when it's cold and when it's hot we can keep cool with the a.c. we have on it with out all six of us stuffed in the cabin. And my green house this winter is doing absolutely amazing. Can you believe I've been pulling tomatoes out all winter
As I mentioned before I am a stay at home mom and thay there are six of us. My husband and I love doing things together. We do the care of the greenhouse and garden together. We even went as far as redoing our entire boat together. We had to replace the motor and rewire the entire thing. He doesn't do the sewing thing though lol. So he watched as I reupholstered all the cabin and deck seats. And then there are our 4 lovely kids. Aged 15, 13, 8 and 7. Boy are they a handful, but what kid isn't.

If they are dying in wet weather, sounds like Coccidiosis to me. A protozoa that flourishes in warm damp weather that can kill your birds. You might start a thread in our Emergency forums for more help.
