***OKIES in the BYC III ***

[Elie mea]

Hello fello BYC Okies I just moved some americona birdies today out of the brooder to a grow out pen and counted how many I had I have 9 Roos out of 39 after I let jack pick out five blue and blue splash pullets. I have a question what do y'all use for preventing mites I have heard 7 dust but wanted to get yalls opinions.

By the way I enjoyed all the paintings and baby chicken pics.

Christina, I'm very anxious to hear what they find. I'll keep you in my thoughts!
All the Bantam Ameraucanas and the Orloff girls are getting along wonderful. They just love their perches I made from logs 1 of the perches swings back and forth on chains, they like that. The Orloff girls will be big enough to go into their own grow out pen soon. I love all the spangles on them. I know they're just hatchery Orloffs but I couldn't be happier with them.
Edit: Ellie, I use Ivomec Eprinex (different from plain Ivomec) for mite and lice prevention. Ivomec is said to work as well but I've never tried just plain Ivomec for it so I don't know.

Neat idea for roosting spots. Thy look like they're really enjoying them.

Artsrobyn, what type of bird is this one??



I just picked up some new birds and one of them looks nearly identical to yours. I was just wanting some variety and ended up getting one like this and another one that looks like this minus the feathers on her legs. I also got a silver lace wyandotte and (I think) a copper maran.

Thanks,
SDS

these are bantam faverolles, they also come in large fowl, and are extremely docile, post some pics if you can, do yours have extra toes? - here is a good thread on them

basically unless you are interested in showing they should be fine, hatchery birds are bred to lay eggs, first. Dominiques are awesome birds, can you post pics?

I may have figured out how to post pictures from my phone.

Here's my pullet and duckling:

I got that awkward tag off Nugget's wing today. I feel she is more comfy now.
