Have you all checked out the BYC interactive map? If you have a Google account, you can put your (approximate) location on the map as well as what you raise, what you sell and so-on. It's really pretty neat! Once you're signed in to google, you can mark yourself on the map.

See it Here.

OK I pulled these off the internet..easy to do. I chose a variety of stages of leg mites

OK since I've been ignored

I'm putting it out again

Sorry jockeyeba. I wasn't meaning to ignore you but I just haven't had a bird with scaly leg mite in over 22 years. I don't have any images to share.

Ick. Something like this happens to my chickens and I'd be done. That's just awful. I'm assuming those poor chickens were left as is, and that's why they got so bad?

I was ignoring you AND I don't have any pictures to show.....

Ok, back from Hawaii. No way I am gonna go through all 978 posts. It would take me days(very slow reader). If there is anything major I missed, please let me know approx day and time and I will try and find it. Otherwise I am jumping back in from here.

Had to start one of my FF buckets over, it got a little tooooo fermented. Smelled like cider. And now that I am back all the adult birds will go back on FF. Pretty sure my GSL laid her first egg yesterday or today. Dark brown and a little smaller than my BR's egg. Just confirmed with my chicken sitter that he collected all eggs yesterday, so she did lay her first today. So I am back up to 6 layers. And both my teen EE's squatted for me today, several times, so maybe some colored eggs soon.
