Thanks, I'll have to try that in the future.

Have you heard anything else on the chickens that were sent off?

We had a rooster die of secondary poisoning. He got hold of a mouse that had been into some mouse poison. Also, is there possibility of snake bite? And yes, I can see death by ants, but there must have been a reason she didn't move away from them. Sorry for your loss.
 
YYYYAAAAASSSSSS!!! Those cornish rocks are GONE!

We still have the two in the fridge that @mrsdszoo helped us/taught us how to process. But the others are finally gone now. My sister wanted to give them to a friend of hers who was jobless and facing disability, and needed to start raising his own food sources. So we sent them over to him along with some others that he could raise for eggs. The cornish rocks are ready for processing, so he has an immediate source for his own food, and then the ones he's raising for eggs include a couple of EE's, several leghorn mixes, and then some Marans mixes and Barred Rock mixes from eggs I got from abmaddox. The perfect backyard mix for eggs though!

My flock is now INCREDIBLY small. With "Mommy Ommy" being broody, and one sumatra being broody, I only have three laying eggs right now, and all three are VERY unreliable (two sumatras and a young frizzle cochin hen). Everything else is too young - and a large portion of those are actually still in the brooder!

But I also finished the second pen yesterday, minus the gate itself, and that means I can move everything into one of those pens to sequester them from for the remainder of their natural lives, treat the hell out of the old one with Malathion and bleach (at separate times of course), and have a "fresh start" on my flock.

Well, after I buy those stakes I mentioned before. LOL!
 
By the way, Stitches, the cornish rock who I did crop surgery on, was still supposed to stay here and live her life out as a possible egg layer (was hoping for at least one egg crossed with something). But her pen was moved two days ago and the person who moved it did not replace a board that sits over the back covering the "nest" area. Something got into her pen and took her, so she's gone too.

So no more cornish rocks at all!

I was looking at the Chicken Railroad map, and noticed that I'm the only on in SE Georgia posted.

That far SE, probably so. There are most likely MANY, MANY more chicken owners around there, they just aren't on BYC, and thus not on our map. I never realized how many people around me own chickens until I began to run the mail routes around here!
