Peek a Boo! Yeah over 2000 posts to catch up on. Not gonna happen. Shifting a bit of focus. Loving my new additions. A new starter flock of chukars, missing the chicken gals that went to a new larger home at a friends, traded chickens for a pig (his name is porkchop), my quail flock is growing, looking to hatch some quail and pheasants oh and some of the chukar eggs. The marans are all doing well. The hens are laying and they are the most beautiful color, my babies are growing up and looking fantastic from the NYD hatch. Hmmm...what else is there.....switched from OJ to lemonade for the holiday LOL.

I am so upset right now. My silver laced wyandottes killed my speckled sussex hen Pebbles. Pebbles was broody. I gave her eggs to my silkie that is broody also. I am so upset I was to get rid of my entire flock of slw. They are the meanest chickens in the world. They will kill any new chickens.

Oh my, are they from a hatchery? The reason I am asking is because my cousin had purchased some from a hatchery and they where doing the same thing. The roosters were especially nasty, she sold all but one hen, and that solved her problem. You can get SLW that don't do that. You should cull them.

Before you do that, what is your protein level? If they pick on the weakest link and draw blood, they will kill. Just a thought.

some of you say cat food for a treat,,,might seem silly but most cat food is either chicken or fish....wouldn't fish change the egg taste, and cicken flavored just has other issues.

It doesn't change the flavor that I noticed. What you do need to watch out for is food dyes. I get ones that are cheaper and natural, without out the dye. I feed my chickens chicken as left overs. It doesn't sound right, but it is what it is!
 
Blarney, you can also use Frontline Plus, or Pet Armour from Wal-Mart. Remember if you treat your birds with Ivermectin or Frontline products don't bath them with a flea/tick/mite/lice shampoo. It can cause the chicken to overdose.

BTW your comment about breeding creepy crawlies, me too!!!! LOL dang wild birds!!!

I didn't have any Ivermectin, So I just used the flee and tick I had available for my Cat/Dog. I let her soak in a hot bath also, to help with whatever injury I can't see to her leg, she holds the one up when she stands. Also I put DE in her Bedding, Poor Girl I think she also has Gleet, Was told it;s yeast, thanks BRUCE!, So she has been treated for that, If anyone wants to see pictures let me know I can post them, Not the Best for breakfast...

Heeeeeeyyyy Patrick!!
