Anyone interested in a frost legbar chick? Hatched yesterday from a saved clutch. Not sure if others will hatch so I don't want him to be lonely.

I 100% believe the key to a robust immune system is proper, natural, nutrition.

Many experts consider avian influenza as a new problem - and the handling of it commonly villainizes wildlife. Many poultry operations have been hit hard by ...

No chicken tending today!

I am thankful my family are tending them while I enjoy these waters :)

If you're not on my personal page, any guesses where I am?

This morning, I cried.

I didn't wanna get out of bed. My nose is stuffy. I had no energy, but someone wanted to pick up some chickens at 9am. 20 of them. Have you ever tried to catch 20 chickens at a time? Not a simple feat.

I am finally on summer break but haven't had time to rest. I have so many chickens that I feel like one will die if I don't go out 2x/day. I spend lots of hours tending them plus all the other chores. So this morning, I started asking why I do this to myself lol.

I just need to rest. I need to spend time and bask in the presence of the Lord so I can be renewed.

‭"but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31)

Hope everyone's doing well! I've been overwhelmed. End of the year for teachers. Almost there.

Never have I ever had an almost developed egg turn rotten and explode inside the incubator!

We rescued this clutch because the mom left the nest and there were still 8 eggs left. Well, 1 hatched today and then this EXPLODED!!!

I've held on to unhatched eggs for months in the past and never had any explode. Needless to say, I'm so surprised!

What's your experience been with exploding under-developed eggs?

Do you use the deep litter method? Did I do this correctly?

I'm a city gal learning to raise chickens as naturally as possible. I don't know everything and I'd love to improve!

Constructive feedback is always appreciated!

We have grow out pullets (& cockerels)!!! Most are F1 olive eggers. There are also some Black Copper Marans, BC1 OE & Americana.

Pick up in So Sac or in Davis.

I dehydrated 16 eggs and I ended up with 25 tbsp of powder. Therefore, based on AI (lol), I now have 12.5 eggs. 3.5 was spilled as this is my very 1st time doing this.

Would I do this again? Possibly as I want to preserve food but it is a 2 day process. Water-glassing takes less time but requires more space.

I probably need those oxygen packs to keep moisture out. I also wonder if I need to vacuum seal it.

What is your experience with preserving eggs?

05/18/2024

I've been meaning to learn how to can but it feels overwhelming. I picked up this dehydrator off FB marketplace and started on my 1st batch of eggs.

2 roos bit me today, but 1 was doing his job cuz I was catching one of the hens. The other was starving 🤣

May the Lord continue to strengthen all mothers as we raise and guide our children and manage our homes.

My son graduated today with a Bachelor's degree in Business from Texas Wesleyan University.

Natural treatment of an impacted crop:

Less than 2 weeks ago, I found my special roo with a pendulous crop. He wasn't showing any signs of feeling sick but I treated him anyway. I only used mineral oil, slight massages, and lots of TLC. No meds or antibiotics. I did give him garlic, ACV, and oregano on day 1 and electrolytes on day 2. Here's a video of his journey. I left him on day 5 cuz I went on a trip but by day 9, he's all cleared up.

Feel free to ask questions!

My special American roo got an impacted crop. Good thing I was paying attention and caught it before he was actually sick. it was huge, fairly hard t...
