Hi All!

Interesting conversation today.

We got lucky with the weather, a little rain but no hail. We just caught the edge of it I guess.

Night All!

Jim, we all know better! You would never be happy in town! Sure, you like to stop for a cuppa and charm at the cafe. But you couldn't live there just yet
off for camping this afternoon. Wish our stay at home animals some luck!

Good morning all, sorry to start my conversation off with a gross topic, but I need help.
1- the chickens were just up here by the house and I went out with the dog and noticed a fresh pile of poo MOVING!
2- they were small, white and round (resembled maggots)
3- what are they and how do I treat and prevent. I have 6adults and 4 that are almost 3 months.

I did a search here on the site but don't know what I'm treating and know that you guys have accurate and trust worthy information.

Thank you !

Also..... Are the eggs ok to eat? I haven't noticed anything different about them but I can't help but feel a bit grossed out. I understand they've likely been the a while but still.

I will probably have to throw away the eggs after treatment too, right ?

good morning,

feeding is all done..

no cuppa yet. \

I do think I am ready to retire.. when I sell this place, I hope the people have kids and animals.
It is all set up nice for the next guy..

In town, I could probably pay my rent with the gas money I save ..

I have to fix the leg on the plucker, and then pick up all the scrap wood that I created in the small jobs I did..
I have two cherry trees that died .. I will see if I can pull the stumps out with the loader.
I think I should run through the garden again with the tiller..
See ? lots of projects left..

prolly round worms ?
go to Fleet or one of the farm stores close to you and ask for some chicken de-wormer..
lots of times one wormer takes care of multiple worms.. more than likely you just have the common ones and in a day or so they should be gone..
just follow the directions on the package/bottle..

it will tell you if you need to toss the eggs..

up to now, the eggs are OK to use.. the worms are intestinal, ..

however I would wash the eggs when I collected them,,

according to what people post on here, central wisconsin is a pretty broad area ..

seems like this site is abandoned,,
I think I will quit posting , too..

I managed to get the two cherry trees removed.. they have quite a root system,, not deep, but spreading like a spider ..
