The Heritage Rhode Island Red Site

How about his Rose Combs?

Go to my site and click on the Dick Horstman RIR's and you'll see where the RC's came from. I'm not mentioning any names on here. I don't want to get black balled.

Injectable or pour on Ivermek is at any feed store or should be. You have to ask for it because it is in the cattle area of most feed stores under lock and key or at least around here it is.

Remember this is only one way to deal with them. There are several good ways this one just has worked for me in the past.

My chickens don't have mites they have lice. I had to go find it on BYC and a picture to let me see what it is and when I see the white crud on the end of the feather I knew what I was up against, I dust with Sevin when I can find it lots of places are not carrying it anymore but I don't have too many chickens so I buy the little canisters when I find them. As soon as I can find a bag I'll buy it, I can get dust in places I can't get the spray have used DE too but sometimes it is a never ending battle. Will use the ivomec or others that has been suggested on here, getting warm weather and the little boogers will start multiplying including the fire ants.

Hey there everyone,
I have been working on this for a few days and I think I have it done well enough to let you all see what I've come up with. Any/all of you that have enjoyed Bob's site can go here and enjoy it ( IF ) his site is taken down. It isn't exactly as his but I did my best to try and help us all out if we need it. Please don't think that I am trying to fill his shoes, I could never do that but he and I had become pretty close through emails/PM's and he was always commenting to me how much he liked the way I have so much information on my site and the he felt that there was a lot of information on there that would help the new folks getting into the reds. With all this said, I thought that the least I could do was to set something up with the information that he thought was information to help folks.
Please, let me know what you all think.

Jim,
I am so happy to see this tribute site. I have been real worried what would happen to the articles
on Bob's site if his website went down. Thanks so much for doing this! One request. I can't seem
to scroll down the entire list without the 1st article coming back up and blocking the view of the
rest of the list. Other than that, such a nice memorial to Bob! Many thanks!
Best Regards,

That is exactly the reason for my doing it. I didn't know if they would keep it up or not.
As for the problem, I just went there after reading your post and had no problem. I just put cursor over more, scroll down all the way to the last one, click on it and it comes right up I'm not having any problem. Maybe others will go there and try it and see if they have any problems. So sorry. I will go back and try again and see if I have any problems.
Jim
Still working fine for me. ????????

I just came across this post. I think this is wonderful. I refer to Bob's website quite frequently. I'm glad all of his wisdom won't be lost.

I hate to say it but Walmart (not a great fan of ) carries or did carry a pet dust produce and it is the same thing as seven but under a different name.

It is one of those drop down boxes that you have to hold your cursor just right and scroll it down and sometimes I use two hands to do it. Keep up the good work

I'll check Wal Mart next time I go which is not very often. Did find it at the Dollar General store in a little canister so it'll get me started if I need it. Starting to check chickens before it gets warm so I can head them off. Thanks
