Hey everyone! Another Pennsylvanian here. I'm in NE PA. If anyone knows of anywhere close to me, that I can get some Lavender Orpington pullets from, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Hi Poconos!!

 

[chiques chicks]

I think , it is a boy and girl,   they are at my daughters house, in rowanna (between marietta and bainbridge).  we think the big one in front is a female and the smaller one the male,    still a little young for me to tell (3 weeks this past sat)

Scary part its I know where Rowena is! My father grew up there some 80 years ago! I'm on the other side of Mount Joy from there.

The feed should be okay. Wash the feeder, waterer, and coop really well. I would try to let it dry before the old hen gets back in. I am a more aggressive keeper. I don't like to sacrifice anyone just because it's easy. I have all daughters and they would be devastated if we just slaughtered the girls if they got sick. As far as the dirt pen, rake it out.get the poop and any straw out. And I would still do preventive measures for the older birds. A lil antibiotics in the water just to make sure all the girls are safe.

Thanks so much..I'm gonna go get to work. And yes my girls are just beside themselves right now. I told them no promises yet. We will see if an of them survive on there own. And if so we will make sure it is OK to eat the eggs. Thanks so much for your help!!

Goober I am so sorry that you are going through this. I can't imagine the thought of having to cull all the birds. I hope that antibiotics help!!


I had a crazy day myself...I get home from work and see my one pullet hanging upside down on the fence. My first thought was she hung herself, but no she was hanging there by her toe. I released her from the fence and she hobbled away on one leg like nothing happened. A few hours later and she is already using it again. She is very fortunate!!

And... my speckled sussex are finally getting their speckles

aww, well I'm glad she is OK and they are getting spots..lol the are cute as can be. I'm praying all works out. If not. I know god will help me do what I need to get this place back to health and he will help me with the little bit of pennies we have to get us more girls..lol God is good, and I wish i didn't get so upset. I know he has a pan, even for my girls.

And thanks so much for the kind words.

The most you can do is try! If you try and it fails, than you know you tried. If you cull/(let your ex whack em) than it is just giving up and being divorced twice, I wouldn't give either of my ex's any pleasure of the sort! Sorry that is just my own twisted take on things. I wish you (and the girls) the best and you have to keep us updated. And I'm sure if bad things happen in the future the clan of twisted chicken lovers in here will rally to get you situated. fyi....I'm a crazy twisted chicken lover too. not the chicken on my shoulder lol.

They are adorable!!!

Thanks so much dear. And your right about the ex thing. I just don't think i could do it. Unless you want to drive to do it..lol. I love them girls so much. I really thinking I was just really crazy and that they are just chickens. I was on a different form on this site and they want me to kill them all. Or at least m little girls. After thinking it threw and calming myself down from crying all day, I have decided to just isolated the little girls and pray for the best. I'm gonna ask jerk face if he can get some antibiotics, seeing as though they are his girl's chickens also and i know he will do anything for them. Thanks so much. You really have been a GREAT help.

Well you have some beautiful girls. I'm sure if Jerk Face was willing to cull them (the chickens I mean), then he'd probably be willing to buy some antibiotics, even if he is a Jerk Face! Lots of Love To Ya!!!
