Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Daethen]

I I am not thrilled about all of the testing and premise I'd stuff either. But I suppose it is what it is. Just incase anyone else would be I terez Ted in getting tested on Sunday, you would save in mileage if you got in on the train.
We have to test because we show. And also with selling. I suppose they just want to be sure we are not selling and showing sick birds. Did you guys hear about the AI breakouts already this year?

On a brighter note, here are the first Blue Laced Red Wyandotte of the year!! ♡♡♡

OMG they are adorable. Do you sell any?

If our transportation situation allows it, I am planning on coming this year..
I could make a few loaves of BBB ? and some cowboy beans to go with it ? I would use ground venison if nobody objects ..

..........jiminwisc..........

No objections here.

I do sell them These first will be kept for the kiddos to grow out for their show and breeding pens next year. We can sell again after the tester comes Sunday. If you like, send a pm and we could work something out

Noticed a small amount of blood spattered in the coop today. Didn't see any open wounds on anyone though. Should I worry?

Sunny Day here today...the warmth of the sun feels really good ..... sounds good to me cs and Jim.

I find that once in awhile to dae.....I think one of birds prolly lost a toenail or some other explanation that isn't serious....but keeping a close eye all the time is a good thing for nipping stuff in the bud.

Water dripping off the roof today...

the Sun has a lot of power today.

Another quick noobie question. Why do I occasionally get a small or sometimes a medium sized spot of blood on my yolks?

 

[bigzio]

If It doesn't happen a lot it's prolly hen specific, and not serious either....while it's not eye appealing, it is perfectly ok to eat the way it is, or simply pick that speck out. I have also seen that in the past and would worry about selling eggs that had the spot. if I remember right, Robin has useful information on this topic...

she has the ability to explain stuff so well!

The annual cheeseheads bash is always the weekend after memorial weekend. It is a chance to put faces with names and renew old friendships every year. More information to come when one of us here create a new bash thread on the chickenstock forum here.....I will say it's a fun time, and yes it is for the whole family...the kids have a blast, as well as the adults.

Peace..... bigz

Is there any way to prevent it or is that hen/hens always going to do this?

It happens. If it happens a LOT , then try to pin point which hen it is.. if it is the same hen and it is happening a lot, then I would get rid of her.. but that is just me.
we have plenty of unblemished eggs. no sense feeding a chicken like that.
but I really doubt that it is an epidemic, just wait it out and it probably will quit ..

It has been years since we had blood in an egg.

I don't know how this would affect a hatching egg. ?

somebody else might shine more light on the subject..
