Crossing the Road
Thanks so much for sharing your stories and experience, it really helps a lot with the guilt to know I’m not alone and maybe not entirely the worst chicken owner So sorry you had to have those experiences though. :-(Good morning gang,, happy Aloha Sunday! Loving the good stories, fabulous and fun photos ♡ from high tech to high fashion to fuzzy and snow flake beauty.
I've been waiting for Miaki updates ♡♡♡ love the hood, love the cam. I def want one, just don't want another thechy item or headache. How was instal and learning curve?
Snow is beautiful and very classic picturesq. I had no idea that guinea were so dumb.
My first year losses were coccidia. I knew nothing about it and then started fining my second batch of babies all puffed up a few days after a rain. After my learng curve and loss of one or more I could not find any corid on island and shipping was weeks away. I had the sweetest babies dying in my hands and could not do anything about it. It was sad and overwhelming and I felt like a horribly stupid human and failure. I did finally get my corrid and my losses stopped but that was not my last big lesson.
My little dog started to pick my chicks off and I did not figure out it was him till he killed my favorite chick 10' from my husband.
My biggest knowledge gain was from a BR pullet. Beautiful but sick. A number of symptoms that started compounding. I had the great luck to have the most wonderful and supportive gal on byc take me under her wing. She helped me stock up and throw the kitchen sink at this bird. It was hard as everything I had to order online. Our feed stores had squat. I lost the bird, culling her after about 2 months of intense trying and the whole while fearing she may infect my flock but I kept the lessons and that has helped me have more wins than losses now. Thank goodness.
