I let my EEs, yoki and Appletini from you out in the big coop... I was feeling bad keeping them locked up so I let them out and they did just fine. They don't really leave the coop though...

Ralphie of you have an extra yoki pullet let me know! I managed to kill mine somehow....

Did you hold it?

I have at least one yoki and I have it's parents.

Looking at your Appletini, I get a feeling of a pollack the crest seems more pollack like than appletini like.

I think I am gonna do a coop clean up this weekend. Scrape it all out and scrub down everything with bleach. As MNchickmom said it is a chicken keepers best friend! Then I am gonna go through and treat all my birds with Ivermectin. There is so many dang sparrows around right now I am sure my birds are picking up mites from them .

If any of you ever have mite issues just use ivermectin. Two days and your birds will be free of mites. You can get injectable or stuff you put on the skin. I just use put a drop on the tail head and one drop under each wing and it works wonders. It absorbs through the skin and into the blood stream and kills all mites or lice and stays in them for quite awhile. But you do have to wear gloves when applying this stuff and discard any eggs for around 2 weeks..

I did hold it! It died while I was holding it too! As long as there isn't too many cockerels I would take any Yokis you have

It doesn't have any lacing on it so I am thinking Appletini? It doesn't look like the pollack I had.

Everything but the crown looks appletini. The crest is pretty sloppy for a Appletini, but some of the girls get sloppy head...
