    I planned to take them down in the winter. I think moving them when I mow is my only option. I have a huge mower.. Like a big tractor with a mowing deck that trails behind. It's going to be tough to do, but we will do it at least every other week I guess. No avoiding it :/ I don't think my...

    AFL is it you that has electric poultry netting? I'm just popping in really quick trying to figure out how you keep the grass from shorting it out. Do you move and mow? Vinegar?

    You are right on all the breeds. They are also all girls. Looks like the last one will be giving you eggs sooner than later! Production Reds do not have white in their down. This is a sex link. Some second generation males may look like this, but if it is from a hatchery - it's a red sex link...

    I have two BCM ( a pair) this year, and the boys were pretty clear early on. I lost 3 of them to a dog attack - and one blue girl (so angry about that one!) I think you have all girls by the picture. How old are they? They look 4-6 weeks.

    They all look like girls to me in these pictures. A closer shot of their combs would be easier to see I bet.

    Research told me that is what it was. Wheezing, and exhaustion. No discharge or eye troubles. It was going on a few days before I got the Oxine. It took 3 days to show improvement, and full recovery after 7 days. That happened in July two years ago. If it was a respiratory disease, I would...

    This is a good reason I won't brood ducks and refuse to have water in the coop in the summer. I did have a case of this with what I think may have been bedding that was moved to the compost pile, saturated with rainwater and then dried. I treated it with Oxine 3 years ago. He was in rough...

    It's NATURAL for our brains to wander to off topic conversations. ;)

    I love same sex mommy couples! ;) Adorable. I haven't had more than two co-parents yet. The only time I tried they smothered a bunch of chicks fighting over who kept them warm. One hen kept going under the others, and that is where the problem arose.

    I spoke too soon on the Selfheal. Saw the goats eating it yesterday. It must grow very fast, because it is much taller than the grass. People use it as well for inflammation. I'd use it if I knew how. :)

    Oh I've been there too. But mostly because we were so broke and didn't have a washer and dryer and did not want to spend the money to have it done at the laundry matt. Plus you had to use gas to get it there and wait around.. We strung clothes up to dry all over our first place. I can...
