So my question is--and forgive me if it sounds wrong....why are you still hand-feeding them if it's happened several times?

Sounds like a job for the sawzall!!!!!!!!!!!
Cut it in sections, stack the sections in a truck or trailer, reassemble it at home with long screws !
Oh I hope you get it!!

Anna~I was wonderin' if you guys were going!

I just skimmed through the Serama thread.. am a lurker there ya know

Son and I will be at the Best Western and DO look us up!

If you see me, you will have to jump in front of me and say HI IT'S ME ANNA

I have terrible tunnel vision at a show..

At the fair, I didn't recognize someone I see pretty often, I was SO embarrassed. Must be old age. lol!

I have been working with Romeo like crazy, but that squatty little man WILL NOT stand up! Any pointers?? Son is showing the Serama, we may not put Romeo on the table...

PS~~ yes, we will be in on Friday night--heading down after school...

I'm staying at the Best Western too. Hubby and Rob are going, while Eldest son James stays home to "Watch the birds." Hopefully nothing can starve to death in 48 hours... Then 2 more weeks and we're off to CROSSROADS, INDIANA!!! for what may be the largest chicken show of all time. Drool in envy, everyone who isn't going. It'll be great!

I was going to Eprinex today as well, but am having second thoughts due to all the molting that is going on right now. Is that too much stress on the hens? The light Sussex looks funny now, she lost so many feathers, and when you feel her,it is all pin-feathers under that fluffy white down (whitest I've ever seen her - she usually is rolloing around somewhere in the mud, but now she seems to want to keep her new feathers clean and rolls in the wood-chip instead).

Is a 6 month old bird too young to worm? I heard somwhere that they should be no younger than 8 months, I also heard 20 weeks, 18 weeks and 16 weeks.

I go by weight, to 6 mo old, no younger.
The deal is, if they (the 8 mo old birds) are in a pen with the older birds, then they have been exposed to parasites too.
My younger birds are seperate, so far, none shows signs of any bugs.
Molting should not effect anything, in fact I think it would greatly help their refeathering efforts to have no parasite load.

i pm'd you, but does color matter??
Maybe you could pm his contact info.. what's he want them for? Hear tell there is a guy in the Oly area buying calls to train falcons.. that's why I ask... The guy bought some from a friend last year or year before, comes back the next year for more, says all the ducks 'flew away'..
