Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

[Hurley]

For FF, I got it started with a slug of ACV with the 'mother'. I think it will begin to ferment without, but ACV certainly jumpstarts the process. I had a good brew within 24 hrs.

Hey guys. My sis lost a chicken the other day:-( she wants me to see what you think.
Says she went out for chores, and she seemed... slow and lazy. Normally a very active girl. When she checked about an hour later, she had mucus coming from the beek. Described it to look like runny poo, and bad odor.
The chx seemed to be choking. She tipped her up, and about a cup worth came out!:-( she died shortly.
Sis is nervous it could something contagious. Been a cpl days. No sign of any others sick... lmk what u think and recommend!

Did anyone see these cute "Deviled Egg Chicks" on YouTube. My DH found them. I think I'll try it out with the Grandkids this weekend.

HELLO! I'm a new member in the Waupaca area. I'm looking for some heavy laying girls who don't mind giving up eggs during the winter. Does anyone have a need to thin out their herd? Please message me if you can help me out! Thanks!

I got a blue egg..I got a blue egg..:::dancing thechicken dance:::

I've had my EE since last aug. And I thought she laid these LONG pointy pink eggs I get every once in awhile...but this moring I got a very big blue green egg! Yeah! Getting a couple every day now...hope those girls keep it up. Still drowning in baby duck care...my cochin chicks.out of 16...4 roos..rest hens..I ended up with a great color mix. But I also have 2 very odd chicks...they might have feathered feet but I'm not so sure their 100% cochin...I think someone's roo had a midnight escapde....as my little black one now has ear tuffs and looks remarkly like my EE.

Hope your all staying warm...wind nasty here...we got about 3" ~ 4" last night...suppose to get dumped on tonight...

Okay, I need opinions from you all.

After realizing that my RIR is a production red, Delisha and I discussed the fact that they stop laying after a year. Well my non-RIR and the 2 red star (or whatever they are) are already just over a year old and 2 out of the 3 have laid eggs, the other is a freeloader.

Instead of keeping my upcoming Easter chicks in quarantine for 30+ days, I was thinking about culling the 3 that I have, cleaning out the coop and run, then adding in the new chicks.

Any opinions???
