Will he be driving himself?

Nope, not allowed to. They won't do the procedure unless you have a driver there.

I lost Jelly Bean. It looks like she died in her sleep. She was thinner then I thought. I weighed her and she was barely over a pound. I still didn’t see anything wrong with her.

Got weights on everyone else except Pat. The scale said “overload” which in digital number words looks like “overlord.” He would be fine with that.

Got 6 eggs too!!!

Have any of you heard of Worminator? I was looking through my chicken supply basket and realized that I bought some last year when I bought some other supplies to have on hand. I ordered it through Hakes Twin city poultry supplies. I'm thinking I might use it....View attachment 1671623

Interesting. I'd be interested in hearing your experience w/ it.

That's what I got from that thread. Those that used it said they had good results.
The only question mark for me was where it was posted showing one size bottle with an 18 day egg withdraw while the bigger bottles said 24 hour withdrawl.

That's my concern too. Why did it go from 18 days to 24 hour? Was it b/c they changed the active ingredient? 24 hours sounds wayyyy too short for a withholding period.

Morning.
I’m hoping I can get back to sleep for a bit. Thing 1 woke up at 5:40 crying hysterically. The only understandable thing I could get out of him (he was babbling on and on, trying to tell me what was wrong) was “Mommy run away!” Which, I’m assuming, means he had a dream where I left him. I had to bring him into bed with me and DH until he calmed down. I thought he might just go to sleep, but he started counting things. So I just moved him into his crib in hopes that we can both get back to sleep.

He's about the age where night terrors become a problem. Hopefully whatever it is, it doesn't happen again.

I think the 18 day withdrawal post was a few years before the 24 hr. I believe casport had saved the images over the years for her records. I'm gonna try it. I totally trust the breeder Ive bought my girls from. She has been doing this her whole life

Your breeder... how long does she withhold eggs?

If I had need of worming in my flock it is a product I would likely choose.

Morning all.


The mouse bucket had the ramp bait licked up. No mice in the bucket. I think they are to leery of the tipping.
I am going nuclear on them. It's poison time.
I have been trying everything I can think of for months now.


No I don't like the idea of poison at all.

Can you try the baking soda thing first before you go w/ poison?

Sorry about Jelly Bean. So strange. Is everyone else doing ok?
Yay for the eggs.

OH NO! I am so very sorry she is gone.

I gotta do something that works that's for sure.
While I love my internal nests so do the mice.
I have been looking at what materials I have to build external boxes.

Sorry about Jelly Bean, I hate when I'm right on things like that.

Overlord.

How much does that scale tip out at? I wouldn't be surprised if he is in the 10-12lb range judging by how big he is.

Congrats on the eggs!
