Quarantine birds

Yes. After great debate, we have chosen these two. Nugget because he attacks us and Huffle because I want to keep our male count low.

Wait youre getting rid of the one that was in your profile? Bit yes I understand

Yeah that’s how I am. I can’t stomach it I even have a hard time rehoming because I feel like I’m letting them down. I always thought I’d be able to rehome the boys easily…but I usually love them the most!!

Thats what I was like originally. Guess I just no longer feel that way...

Yup. My mom wants to become a stay home mom and help watch the animals one day. Don't want to have him attack her. He has his spurs all grown in as well. Can't say I won't miss him, but its been hard doing things with him constantly wanting to attack me. Oh and not to forget him attacking Kiki.

Here is Grammy. Named after her looks and how they relate to a graham cracker.

I think she might be a Buff Chantecler.

Day 14: Sorry for not updating! I am currently working on finals, but will be treating the coop and the birds for the last time soon. I think the permethrin spray came in the mail today.

Day 16: Coop has been treated. Sprayed the walls and dusted the ground.

Yay! Hope the mites will all ”disappear” now!

Can your chickens take dust baths? or is it too wet, because mine took some today...

They can and have. Dust bathing is a good prevention of mites, but can't get rid of them.

Not sure what kind of setting they were in, in the past, but they have access to dust bathes now. It isn't very humid here.
