@Suzi18 where are you getting your flower? Your usual breeder doesn't breed those!

One of my friends ordered some Swedish and OEs from Meyer and I'll be buying one of each from her. The other OE and BCM are coming from a lady in Sunbury OH

@pitbullmomma You can try the Extreme Care I use on the frostbite. It was doing really well on Pats comb until the boys got stir crazy and fights broke out. I still think it helped save a lot of comb and wattle.

I use it on everything from cuts and burns to eczema. With the high winds and low temp I was putting it on my face before I went outside.

If you want I can give you a coupon code for $8 off your order. No minimum purchase. You pay shipping. About $2.50.

Good morning, all! Sure, I would love the coupon code! Is it email or paper?

DH wanted to pick it up by the tail.....ewwwww I told him not to touch it. He used a shovel and tossed it into the field. Yuck.

Maybe he died of old age, lol.

Good morning all. Still feeling a bit off kilter after my Vertigo episode but making progress.
I am picking up some new pullets tbe end of March. 2 OEs, 1 BCM and 1 Swedish Flower. I'm pretty excited!
Also...saw a strange thing last night. Went out to close up the coops for the night and noticed a strange grayish furry lump laying in the yard .It was a very large dead o'possum. No noticeable injuries. Almost looks like he just laid down and died. Don't get me wrong....I'm glad hes dead. One less predator to worry about. But it was strange

Suzi, so glad you're feeling a little better! I' m excited for your new chooks!

I have a friend that may be ordering from MPC sometime this spring. If she does, I just may have to add a couple of d'Uccles to her order. What's a couple more tiny chickens, right?

I used to pick up the ones that got hit on the road by the tail or foot...unless I needed to scrape them up.

then I started thinking http://wildliferemovalusa.com/opossum-diseases.html

That's exactly what DH said

I have a porcelain D'ucclle and she is a great egg layer. Shes a sweet girl. The only problem is she has a tough time in the cold. More so than any of my other chickens. That being said.....I really really want a Mille Fleur D'ucclle

Maybe he was just playing?
