Hey Meg!!! Glad to see you on here !!!

Love Banner Elk! Been spending time there for almost 45 years Welcome!!

I would be careful about closing it up with a glue - if it gets infected underneath, you would have a real mess. Just flush it out and apply the antibiotic ointment and/or spray it with blue kote. I like the Granulex better if you can get it. It needs to heal from inside out. Poor girl! Good luck!

Will you be selling any?

You can put triple antibiotic ointment on it and/or blue lotion spray. I would keep her in a separate cage until she heals so the other chickens won't pick at her. I'm sure it will heal up just fine. I had a guinea who was attacked by something (probably a skunk or coon) when she was sitting...

I agree! Other than being somewhat of a predator alert for the hens, their benefits don't really outweigh their aggravation. I rotate my roosters because I hate keeping them penned up all the time. I try to give them about a week rotation in and out. I can usually have about 2-3 out at a time...

Here are Pics of cream legbar cockerels and d"uccle cockerel... I'm waiting for theLCO pics to upload.

Yes he is crested. All of them are that I have. I will try to get a pic today. The LCO is 12-15 months, he is a big beautiful boy. Will get pics of him too. I'd like $10 to a good home (my main concern). They are pretty, healthy, birds.

Everyone seems to have surplus Rooster's. I do too! Would like to rehome a cute little self-blue Belgian d'uccle, a cream legbar (Jill Rees) and a big, beautiful lemon cuckoo Orpington. Forsyth county. Also have a beautiful young pair of African geese need to find home for.

Message me and I can give you some eggs. We are next door in Stokesdale/Belews Creek. I just hatched some little d'uccles in my classroom and the kids have been fascinated by the whole process.

Thank you! I've contacted them. Angela

I was surprised at how few large fowl there were at the show today. It was mostly all bantams -inside the show and for sale outside :( But the saddest part was that there were only maybe 6 or 7 call ducks and that was what we wanted to see and chat about. Does anyone know of people who...

Celeste, I went through the same thing with my girls. I've got 39 hens and got down to just 7-9 eggs per day! I was not sure if it was my feeding methods or what. Yesterday, I got 23 eggs!! I have not gotten that many in months. They have been slowly doing better but I'm happy if I get around...

Thank you Cheryl and dutchbunny! I posted some better pictures of Liza's comb and tail feathers tonight. I hope that will help determine, finally, who had daddy is :) She will not interact with my chickens at all - she just watches them and stays to herself. She is delighted when wild...

Here are the pics I promised of her comb and face. If you didn't see the 2 options for her possible father, you can find them in a post from yesterday. I'm trying to determine if her father is my little porcelain d'uccle or my ameraucana roo. Thanks so much for taking the time to look - I am...

You are right, my mistake. I meant that one of the silkies is partridge and you can see some brown on the back of her neck. I can certainly get a good pic of Liza's comb and the silkies. She does have some dark color in her tail - like a dark grey or light black. In fact, for a while, her poof...

Hi NC chicken friends! I have not been on in a good while because of work and school and chores here. I finished the first part of my master's program and now have my k-6 teaching license. 5 classes to go to finish! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is looking forward to a happy new...

That is so cool. Each picture I clicked on seemed even more beautiful than the one before. They are just gorgeous. Are they good layers?? Do they lay a bantam sized egg? Their coloring and their combs really make them striking! The history is really interesting, too.

Ditto! I also keep dry feed out for my older hens who were not started on fermented feed (FF). Funny thing is, I have seen them ALL eating the FF. I also ferment scratch grains for them and give it to them every afternoon. They really look forward to it and let me know if I'm late in getting...
