DH has been spending the night at the hospital..my turn is tomorrow night. FIL does not communicate well and most do not understand him, so someone needs to spend the night. DH is stressed out.

We've been through times like this, yes very stressful. Sending positive thoughts your way

Good Morning all, chick count is up to 4, 3 more pipped. Hoping for more when I'm at school!!!

Having to leave for school is a good distraction, but makes for a long day a school - good job on the first hatch

THE VIEW OUT MY KITCHEN WINDOW A COUPLE MINUTES AGO. MY "LADIES" ARE NOT AMUSED.

My little ladies are going thru the "terrible 2's" (2 wks that is) and are acting like crazy terydactyles spooking and trying to fly at any excuse. May have to get them out into a "playpen" in the kitchen to let them stretch. That should be very entertaining. Better lock up the cat and the puppy!!!

Looks like a great set up, would love to see pic w/out the "white crap" sure hope it is gone for you soon. My girls hated the white stuff too, but no problems with the mud and rain . . . the phrase "madder than a wet hen" does not apply since the rain brings on good worm hunting. They're just too stupid to pick the worm and quietly eat it. Gotta brag about it, then end up being chased by the rest, eventually I think they all end up with a piece of it

They sure do keep me entertained.

Are you registered with the state as a poultry owner? That is the first inconveinence , I mean step. Bring your checkbook your gonna need it $40.00 minimum.

Does a person have to register with the state as a poultry owner? Or is that just when you are hatching and selling the chicks?

I beleive that's what they said at the pullorum testing class last weekend. no registration , no NPIP


They have different certs for others too just not NPIP.

There is one cert for peeps to show just one bird.

Everything comes with a fee and paperwork to send to the state(big brother)

It seems more about the paper trail than the pullorum as only 6 flocks in the entire nation were tested to have pullorum all of last year. No flocks the 2 years before that.

Jump in here others that went to class.... Delisha? anything to add?

My oldest hen (Big Momma) dropped dead yesterday. She was an australorp that the neighbors gave us because she was broody and we wanted to hatch some eggs. She was at least 4 years old then and we kept her around for 3 years she was a great flock cop. She kept the peace. I think she started to fade a couple weeks ago because that is when the throat pecking started on the cochins and now my olive egger. I wunder who will take over now? My oldest is only a year and a half.

I just found out someone is trying to re home a 7month old pup. Free to good home or they can make a donation to the local shelter.

His name is Teddy and he is:

Mama : Dachshund/cocker
Daddy: Poodle/Shitzu

I was thinking about going to look at him but I am more of a female dog kind of person !!!

They are suppose to be sending me pictures. PM me if you are interested in him and I can get more info. He is located in Crandon.
