Our first time in the sun! They were scared at first. Everyone was jumping on me and wouldn't leave my legs. It felt good knowing they look to me for protection.

Awh! How old? 3 weeks?

I found the food saver rolls on ebay. They were alot cheaper from ebay than the stores. I did 80 meat birds last summer.

When I read what everybody else thought, I was like oh boy, I am gonna get peed off.  Well I didn't, I thought the article was not very newsworthy.  It really didn't have any good info to me.  It is definitely from a city perspective.  I am middle of the road about it.

imho. try not to get ensconced in argument with folks who are ignorant.....its a losing game....you wlll be fighting a null hypothesis....my two cents.....

Thanks I'll go to the TSC & get some tomorrow, guess it can't hurt them.  Should I give it to both?  And if I miss some poop in the yard when I clean up after they have been out free ranging & my dog eats their poop, will she get the same worms?  She thinks the poop is great chicken snacks!!  Yuck!

I would say potentially. They might be species specific but your dog can pick up worms from raccoon, rabbit, wild animals.
I will find out when I go to work tomorrow. But I know my doctors will say deworm anyway. It won't hurt. Dewormer for dogs is pretty cheap at tsc. I keep my dogs on interceptor so I don't have to worry.

Hi all,
I am new around here and looking for some others who may be close to me. I am in Coopersburg, PA. I am looking for the best way to get my kids more involved with the chickens - they already do most of the work for them and love them to pieces, but my knowledge is limited to what I can search for online and I think the 4-H club doesn't allow kids under 8 (mine are 3, 5 and 6). Any other ideas?????

Thanks!
