"Hi there for $10.50 you can take the bird to the Animal Health Center in Abbotsford and they will tell you exactly what she died from. I do this with all my friends to ensure that not infectious, and just to learn more about causes of death."

Lonley hen needs home

One of our hens recently passed and we are left with only one. As you may guess, one hen is a lonely hen and rather than get more, we are opting to take a break from chicken-rearing and will start fresh in the future. If you have or know of a good home for an approximately five year old still laying beautiful Silver Grey Dorkey, please get in touch.…See More

Vicky replied to Kristi Tatebe's discussion Disposing of dead birds? in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops

"I take my dead birds to the Animal Health Centre in Abbotsford. For $10.50 they will do an analysis of the cause of death (a necropsy). In your case it sounds like you may know the cause, but I just had one pass for unknown reasons and turns out it…"

"We also just discovered a mite infestation last week, after I noticed one hen with a very pale comb...she was anemic from the mites sucking her blood! Poor Dolly. We've dusted the birds with DE, cleaned coop thoroughly, caulked all cracks, and…"

"Thanks. Supposed to start raining tomorrow. Is it important that it dry in between? (The hot, dry weather would have been perfect for this, alas...) Maybe some ideas for a new coop. Nothing too fancy."

"thanks Duncan I'll give you a call. Alyssa, I've got to deal with mine and am leaving town on Friday, but if i get time i will certainly help. Could the 2 of us move it? Feel free to call or email me"

Alyssa K replied to Vicky's discussion mites! in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops

"Can you (or someone) help me get my coop out of my pen so I can try this this weekend? It would be very bad for me to flood my pen, even if the hose would reach. I'd be willing to consider investing in another, easier to clean/move coop, too,…"

Vicky replied to Vicky's discussion mites! in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops

"Ok thanks Alyssa. Funny, I called Night Owl but they said they couldn't sell anything to me unless they saw the hen first. I may go big up a big bag of DE today, if anyone needs any I would LOVE to share it...50lbs is a bit too much for me...."

Duncan Martin replied to Vicky's discussion mites! in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops

"Hi Vicky, Our recent battle with mites worked out well, and the key was constant vigilance for 2 weeks since they are so quick to reproduce. They started out sparse and then they were EVERYWHERE! We started by dusting all the birds (and the coop,…"

We had a great Seed Saving workshop last Saturday (over 30 people!), and now are starting to talk about forming seed saving collectives in different villages. A few people from Transition Cedar Cottage attended, so it looks like TCC might be a good bet for one of the 1st ones.

Do you think you might be interested in participating?

We're also looking at following up with a full day workshop, perhaps in February.

Cheers,
Ross
