Is anyone planning on going to the Bloomsburg Fair? I don't think that there are poultry this year but lots of other good stuff.

Nope, no trailer. They have a canopy thing over the bed of their truck. Not a cap, but it looks an upside down U over their bed. Her husband wears a big black hat with silver things around the bottom of the top part (if you know what I mean, it's hard to explain).


And the girl that always sells to her knows, but she just sells to her anyway. When I start breeding call ducks in the spring, I will NOT sell to her. If she asks, I'll tell her straight up "I know what you do and how you mistreat your animals and I'm not going to let my animals live the terrible life that they will with you." I don't care if she's offended.

i can understand you on the not selling to her, i've been known to turn people down, course i usually tell them, already sold
will have to take notice next swap, i've probably seen them but usually i look at the animals, not people unless i glance and know the person

Me too. My family always says "Did you see the person with so and so" and I never do because I'm always more concerned with the animals.

Anyone have any ideas of where to get some turkens. I am very interested in finding a few but it seems like the only way is if I buy 25 plus. Any ideas will help. I live around the barto area.

I just got two at Freehling farm in Kitanning, PA. They have a Facebook page. Very nice couple!

I didn't get home til 4am. After meeting @emorems0 in Steubenville to pick up the lavender orp roo from @chiques chicks I had to go to Paris, Oh to wait for my oldest to get off work at 11pm & drop him off at his dad's on my way home. His dad's is half way between my place & his but added 3 hours to my drive time of just coming back home from Steubenville. That kid is lucky Mommy loves him.

Wonky, cc's roo, is still in the back of my truck since it was raining when we got home. I just lifted the door on the cap so he could have fresh air. He's outside my bathroom window crowing his wonky trilling crow. I'll definitely be able to tell him from the other boys...lol

Wait, @emorems0, did you end up with two Lavender Orpington roo's in your car? Lol!

Yep, but mine has some lemon cuckoo leakage in the hackles. Still a gorgeous boy. He just has blonde hi-lites is all...lol

Haha, how stylish of him. Brewster's got a little sun bleaching on his wings, but I think loribischof will love him anyway.

I think my ladies miss him a little, too!

I tried google but I became overwhelmed with info! Today when I went to gather eggs in my big coop I noticed one of the girls pooped in the nesting area. The poop looked "ground" up and then I saw something move. A teeny tiny worm that was a white color. My questions are: 1. What kind of worm? 2. How do I treat it? 3. How do I prevent it? 4. Do I have to throw eggs away while I treat and how long? 5. Are the ones I have now safe to eat? TIA! I'm freaking out here! Lol

If it looked like a little grain of rice, it was a roundworm. These can be treated with Wazine (in water, only treats roundworms) or safeguard (either goat or horse wormer) which you can get at tractor supply and it treats all worms. The eggs you have now are fine to eat, but while administering medicine you cannot eat eggs until 14 days after you administered the last dose. You can always cook them and feed them back to them though.

If it didn't look like a little piece of rice, it could be other worm types.

Wonky looks like that only the yellow is in his hackles too, his legs are longer & his comb is bigger & he trills when he crows.
