Cass, sorry to hear of your dead hen. I hate birds of prey near my house as well. Hopefully it won't be back for more.I came home to a hawk or falcon eating one of my chickens.....what the chicken was doing OUT I don't know, cuz everyone was inside the coop, except the dead one. It was one of my Lav Ameruacanas too. Grrrr.... I hate birds of prey near my house. Now everyone is out and the bird of prey is no where to be seen....must not like the roosters parading around looking for a fight.
On a more happy note I listened to Rancher (I know he thinks no one is listening to him) and started giving my chickens Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in their water at least once a week. (more if I remember to add it) It has firmed up their poo and it isn't as stinky. However it IS expensive to get ACV with "mother" in it (which is what it needs to have to do what I need it to do) SOoooo (again listening to Rancher) I bought two 32 ounce bottles of regular ACV for $1.79 each and one bottle of Braggs ACV with Mother for $6.19. (ouch) Then I poured out some out of each of the cheap bottles into a ACV bottle I had saved and added some of the Braggs ACV to each of the 3 bottles of regular (read MUCH CHEAPER) ACV. Now I am going to let it sit for about a month and see if it develops into the same cloudiness of the store bought Braggs Mother ACV (read VERY expensive). I did this on a very limited scale with a small bottle of ACV I had in the cupboard, when I first got my first bottle of Braggs. It seemed to have worked. The small bottle got very cloudy. I used it in the chicken's water instead of using it to start more ACV with mother in it. I do plan to "reseed" other bottles with one I just started today, when it is "ripe". If this works it will save me about $5 a month and/or allow me to put ACV in their water more often at no more additional cost.
I'll try and remember to let you know how it goes. But that's a month from now, so don't count on it.![]()
I got bad news the otherh day. My company downsized a bunch of people and I was one. So I will have to put off getting my flock started until next year. I won't have the $ to do it right now.
i too wish you well on your quest for new employment, so sorry to hear of your misfortune with your job.You don't say where your located but if things change, I have no doubt I can supply you with chicks. That is if things change during the spring or summer. I have broodies and they hatch whether I like it or not. I usually let the broodies raise the chicks so they might not be chicks but older.
If they are brown egg layers I give them dark or green eggs. If they are dark or green layers I give them brown eggs. Makes it easy to pull the newly laid eggs.![]()
I'm sure we'll all be crossing our fingers that you find a new job asap. Remember you're not at the end of the road, just changing directions.
I wish you well,
Rancher
