Oh and out of curiosity has anyone heard of chocolate orpingtons? 

DST, although I can't help you with the eye issue, I can answer this question. Yes. I have a few.

I have a really pretty year old EE roo I need to get rid of. He's a good rooster, not aggressive, but I have too many and I have another mixed chicken with his same basic coloring I like more. If anyone is interested I'll snap some pics of him. I'm in Burnsville nc. In the mountains.

Really? Where did you get them, because now that my mom has found out they have chocolate colored chickens she really wants some now

I do too, I think they are really unique looking! We are starting to figure out which breeds we are really liking and our orps are definetely one of the breeds! Our blue rooster has gotten giants and our splash hen is hatching some more for us! Oh and Biology has become my favorite subject. I'm taking advance biology next year and then AP Biology.

DST, I've got mine up for sale, so if you want more info, drop me a pm. After I got them and Gold-laced, I sat down and realized I Can't have them all, so I decided what I like the best and am selling the rest! Of Course Biology is your favorite subject! What else???!

Looks like where a new feather is growing in with a small bit of mite irritation

I went out and blu-koted the area and cleaned coop, poop board and nest boxes.....DE'd everything including the ladies under their wings etc.......ck'd the others and its a no show on all the other 3...I'll just have to keep watch.. Should I changed to sevin for the hens? I've never seen a new feather growing in like that!! As I said before....I'm so niaeve (sp)...clueless....being a newbie! Thank was so upset!!

DE does nothing. Over and over I see people say they don't understand why their birds get mites/lice since they have DE everywhere. It's simple. 'DE' DOES NOTHING for mites or lice.

DE is used as a perventive measure but does not stop all the mites or lice. Sevin dust wil kill the lice.

DST-- I have chocolate orpington eggs in my 'bator ( as well as jubilee), but I don't have much hope for them with the number USPS did on them. Got them from Greg Mignot at www.ultimateorpington.com.


BUMBLE FOOT-- Never had any experience with it, about to look it up on here now, I think my Blue Marans has it. It's almost like she got something stuck in the main pad of her foot and got it dirty? But now it's all swollen. My husband was trying to pick the dirt off of it and it started to bleed so I told him to stop and not do anything until I got on here. Any suggestions on what do to? Is bumble foot a cut that gets infected or am I way off and that's something different?

Thanks! I'll have to take a look.

Hey I was wondering if anyone had any laying welsummers they would be willing to part with? LOVE THEIR EGGS! Our two are some of our best layers and their eggs are enormous, let alone so unique! Would love to add a few more to our flock.
