Grab the wattles, opens the beak and gently squirt into the mouth, they will swallow. I have done it by myself on my pea chicks, of course they have no wattles. I just used the syringe to push up the top beak and squirted it in. Pain in the butt to do one handed. I will do the birds with my kids this afternoon. We have a system that works great.

2 catch & hold, I administer and 1 keeps track of who has been done. I will get an updated count that way too.

Sure it is over 200.

Thank you so much!! I will definitely be spending some time here and there looking things over. I don't know if I am ready, but I am sure if I find one that really speaks to me, I'll know, right? Anyway, thank you so much!! (I also bookmarked the links...so thank you!!)

Morning everyone. Not much going on around here... I've been up since before the chickens and managed to fix one of DD's dresses (I HAD to add a zipper...was hoping to get away without one!!

No luck). Made a checkerboard cake for a cake walk on Saturday and have it crumb frosted. I will finish frosting it tomorrow. Trying to decide if I REALLY want to make another cake for the walk or just stick with the one. I'm leaning towards just the one!!

DD is in a weird mood today...perhaps a growth spurt, who knows...she woke up, ate her breakfast and then asked to go back to bed!!

I kept her up for an hour before I noticed she kept going to her room and laying on her rug...finally put her to bed and she is OUT!! WHY can't I sleep like that?!?

Have a great day everyone!!

My first 3 egg day!!!!

Pretty sure the light one came from one of the Light Sussex girls! A first!!!

Bhep, a special thanks to you for posting that thread (including the pictures of worm infested eggs) right as I was serving up scrambled eggs to my babies. I could not eat them! Hopefully it will pass by tomorrow, but YUCK!!!!!

I've now come in from doing thorough poop inspections!

I definitely learned a lot from that thread but am still not entirely sure how I feel about the several time a year preventative wormings.

Need to keep researching and think things through.

Hope you're all having a good day!

You two are too too kind. I have many talents but I am a master of none!!

(shh...I stole that line from DH!!) Honestly, most of what I do isn't that hard, and they make "cheats" so one can look professional!!

Therefore, you give me much to much credit!! Thank you though!!
