I am waiting for my olive egger, Digger, to start laying again! I popped one of her eggs under my sneaky broody QT Pie last year and it was a rooster. I told her " Give me some PULLETS this year!" Also waiting for the broodies, and warmer weather.

I have Mareks in my flock of 57, so I was waiting for a reduced flock before getting more (vaccinated from a hatchery), but I also have favorite hens I want chicks from (and an Isbar rooster, who'll give that green egg gene. He is a douche sometimes to the hens when doing his business, if he wasn't an Isbar...). I've waited two years, I am afraid if I wait 'til next year they might pass before I get chicks.

It is good that you are working to improve your flocks health!

You can put me down as a yes, I’m trying to get a few eggs from a d’Anver breeder, but if not I’ll throw in a few of my own

I would love to, but…. may need to get artificial hips on both sides I won’t be able to care for the chickens for at least 6 months ( no bending more than 90 degrees for 3 months per hip replacement ) how do I pick up poop, fill their water/feeder what not, at least I‘ve got a friend who is willing to take on my chickens as long as I can’t care for them ( „only“ 400 km away ) so, as long as I’m not sure if I need the procedures soon, I won’t be adding to my flock

To let you know in case you do have the surgery..I have a brother in law and a daughter that have had this done. They're both doing very well and are very grateful that they had it done. Good luck to you.

Oh no! Good luck to you. Prayers that they get things under control. You folks are going to wonder how I can relate ..again to another problem..well..I'll share a photo in a bit, but when you havev12 kids..grandkids come along g with spouses at my age. I have a Grandson in law that all of a sudden had a stroke. Ever had one before. He works as a medic on the firetruck. Well, they got him on some medication that has been doing wo ders. He can now drive on the truck again. He lives that job. . Zoom..You've got this. It's amazing the things docs can help with these days.
