Not sure if you missed my post but your barred bird is definitely a cockerel. He's got color coming in in his wing bow which pullets do not get and I can see rooster hackle feathers coming in, which pullets also do not get. Sorry

I just got back from the dutchess county fair....great time but no chickens. Everyone wants to keep the bird flu far away from us! I missed the birds, but am glad to keep all of mine safe!

Heard there will be no chickens at the NYS fair either. It's all for the best. Though considering all of this, why has no one developed a vaccine? It would also be nice if there were a more usable one for Mareks too. Perhaps and oral?

No money, no vaccine is how the pharmacy world works I suppose.

Hello everyone.

Just checking in. I hope everyone is having a great day.

Good Morning! Is it weird that I'm having a good day because I found 30 feathers in the coop this morning? The answer is yes, have been so worried about my chicken Sylvia's weird behavior thinking she was sick, but she started a molt, then didn't lose any feathers for a while, acted very strangely, and is now definitely molting again, but back to normal behaviour. So hopefully that's all that's going on.

Only not so great thing about this day is my toothache / faceache, emergency dental appt last night revealed I'd broken a chunk off a filling, cracked the tooth, and have a root abscess, have to get a root canal, but they don't have an appt till next Tuesday. Still, started antibiotics and some pain meds, so should be back on track soon, and the associated pressure on my sinus will ease so my eye stops leaking - everyone thinks I'm crying! Maybe I'll head outside for some chicken therapy - watching 'the girls' never gets boring, and I don't have to go into work until later today.

How's this Thursday going for everyone else?

Hope you start feeling better soon - toothache is miserable

Mine girls have been on/off molting for a while now, not sure why. I have them on 'feather fixer' for extra protein, they are still laying thankfully. Seems like this year is going to be a 'soft' molt

The adults are our first chickens, that we got as 3 month olds in July 2014, and so this is my 1st ever experience of a molt, and so I'm not even sure what's normal and what's not, as usual all my chicken books and online info says slightly different things, so it's reassuring to hear that the on again off again molting thing is happening to someone else too.

They are probably confused with our NY weather!

Yep, I'm wearing a fleece sweater today - in August?! Just received a newsletter email from BYC with links to multiple articles about molting, there's even a new photo competition for molting chickens - great timing!
