So far, I've never seen any of Ellie's with issues. In fact, most of hers have been pullets to boot!

OMG Cyn they are adorable! Wow are they tossing that Mind Control at you. I agree about the arm rider...I think it is a he also.


Here are some cute videos to share...My big blue boy, who aside from his red bleed through that stops him from being my breeder, is a sweet heart. Lancelot

Oh nella! Love the pics, but no- I don't see what you do.

Cyn, since you don't vaccinate do you call that breeding for resistance?

Nope, not exactly. I don't vaccinate because I haven't seen a need for it yet in my flock. For example, Mareks vaccine does not keep them from getting Mareks, just from forming the tumors associated with it. Also, some vaccines actually can make a bird a carrier (certain ones). I'd rather cull birds who get a disease than vaccinate against it. Birds with healthy immune systems are less likely to actually contract a disease when exposed to it anyway.

Okay, thanks. I am trying to decide if I should vaccinate or not, with the new chicks that are coming. Do you think that I should order the NB/IB vaccine that goes in the chicks' drinking water this week for the Delawares? Ughhhh................... Can't decide.

I only have until next Monday to vaccinate.

Well I am not positive that it is the right part yet but he needed some sort of ring for the hydrolics for the bucket. He had to work yesterday and has not yet found time to check out all the info. Maybe later today. Thanks again. We live in a farming community so you would think it would be a little easier to find parts here.

Cyn those babies are adorable. So sorry about the ones that haven't done well.

Nella, nice looking birds and grass. It is snowing again, near blizzard like conditions

My middle son got baptized today

The past two days I have gotten 15 eggs a day
