I am sending Einstein south to CA next week after the show...............and I really want a few horse chestnuts.............if ya see any...grab them !
They should be split open & sprouting this time of year...Ogress wants a few as well.

That is a good idea! I will look around for some buckeye trees. They are pretty in bloom.

Are there any tricks to hard boiling bantam eggs? I'd like to make some tiny deviled eggs with our first dozen from our bantam EE, but I'm afraid of ruining them!

Where do you get antibiotics for chickens?

feed store or on line.

 

[Chickielady]

You can use different things. Feed stores should have something helpful, even if it's not labeled for chickens. I like off-label stuff because it seems to work better. Denagard is an amazing antibiotic; it works for gram negative and gram positive bacteria and you don't need to withdraw eggs. It also doesn't develop a resistance!

and it is hard to find (except on line) and it is extremely expensive and quite often out of stock (especially in spring when you need it !)

Finally candled all my 10 hatching eggs I picked up a week ago. I have 2 BLRW under my broody Silkies and 4 Wheaten Ameraucanas in the incubator. Well, I'm disappointed that it appears NONE of the eggs under my broodys are developing. I couldn't see any veining at all. I don't know if I just got unlucky and picked all the non-fertile ones or if my first time broody girls are doing a less than stellar job and have let the eggs get cold for periods of time.

However, the Wheaten Ameraucanas are ALL growing!!!

But I still have two weeks before they're due to hatch. AGH. Too. Hard.To. Wait.

I want babies now, and while I'm wishing, I'm wishing for them all to be pullets.

I must learn to live more in the moment.
