So Greenfire Farms is one of, if not the original, breeder to bring them in. Straight run is $29 per bird. Did I mention I got 2 girls out of 7 hatchlings! My luck with roosters is awful.
They also have 55 Flowery Hen which is $29 per hen cause they auto sex. Really almost anything "flowered" or "speckled" could be added in.
I like the Orloff too. $19 straight run. They have beards. :p

Did you get them from Greenfire? I think they have imported them more than once so there should be better genetics now

PBM, I'm sorry you have been dealing with that crap from DH's family. I agree, he needs them to say whether or not they want you there, and if they do, then he needs to set ground rules for them or you will not be there. First rule, no pictures of the ex, period. Second, you are to be offered the opportunity to be in family pictures. Third, no snide remarks, no comparing you to the ex, no rude looks, if they don't have anything nice to say about you or to you, they needed to not talk about it to you.

In the meantime, don't go to any more gatherings, and tell your DH that his relations may be insensitive or ignorant, but it's his responsibility, as your spouse, to find out if they want you to come to gatherings, and if they do, educate them on how to make you feel like you are not hated outright.

100% on everything you said there Anansi. And I told him--and his mom--the same. We'll see how it plays out.

Thank you. :hugs

Cindi If I read that right you're right on point. I'm sorry I can't relate. My DW's family accepted me and my family accepted her .

I'm glad you can't relate Bob! Count your blessings.... It's a crappy feeling to be treated like that. I wasn't raised like that AT ALL. My family was warm and accepting and communicative and funny and loud. You were accepted right into the fold, and even if they didn't like you, they would still treat you decently.

@staceyj What was that med for tapeworms called?

Hey there! Sorry I was out this afternoon. How many birds do you have again?
Praziquantel works for tapeworms in dogs cats humans and chickens!
This is what I have :

The dose for a chicken is 10mgs/kg

So 1/2 of this tab would treat your average 5-ish pound chicken....
Repeat in 10 days I think.
Not sure of withdrawal time because I’m cooking dinner and the dogs are begging for theirs too.
Also I think there’s a chart somewhere on here that casportpony put together.
And a deworming article too.

Nunny,
As hard as that was to do at least you know now.
:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

I would say it confirmed that there are genetic issues.

Nunny,

I am so sorry about your babies. That sucks so bad. :hugs

I give you a ton of credit for doing that necropsy. That is impossibly hard to do. I have done tons of necropsies, and I would never be able to do one of my own pets. Much as I wanted to find out what happened to Lafayette, I couldn't do it.

You are very brave. And you are 5000% an awesome chicken mom. I hope you don't lose any more chickens for, like, the next 50 or 60 years. You desrve to have the rest of your life with nothing but healthy, beautiful, carefree chickens!!!!

I can relate a bit! My Inlaws are nearly all terrible people.

When my DW was injured, I was on a group sms text where they were bashing me because I did not get to the Hospital fast enough. It is a regional Trauma Center and it is about 45 minutes away. By the time I could got the children squared away and got there, it was a couple of hours.

I have as little as possible to do with them now. I do not know any of their phone numbers or email addresses either.

Hey Henny.

I hope you are feeling a tiny bit better about your baby. I'm still so sorry....it sucks. :hugs

They honestly are not passive aggressive, I think they are just ignorant, really. I should have said all that I said YEARS ago. But I didn't, and I seethed for a long time, and was beyond pissed every time my hubby never stood up for me. He is very passive when it comes to his family, is very old school Italian, and that is not an excuse.

If he wasn't so good to me in so many other ways I probably would not have stayed with him. But he is, really.

I did tell him --and his mother--exactly what you wrote above. That I love him, BUT I am not going to participate in any of his Christmas gatherings this year. That I am sorry, but I will not be going to any of their stuff. And if and when I do, that will be *my* decision.

I am ok(ish).
I have accepted that I cannot bring him back. I still sob like a baby periodically throughout the day.
Losing my doggies is the only thing that can make me into a blubbering baby.

Of course, since we have his brother Jack........I know it's coming again.
I hate that part.


I am glad you spoke your mind.
Now, don't hold back if a sibling or such tries calling to "talk you into attending".
