David Kennedy replied to David Kennedy's discussion 2 Barred Rock hens available in Micro Livestock
"I bought them as chicks from The Stock Shop, and I'm going off what they had labeled and told me.  You may be right--I can't say for sure as I'm not an expert, and they look pretty similar.  Thanks!"

"Are you sure these aren't Dominiques?

"Hi John,
I haven't sold the rain barrel yet.  I saw your message about going to pick it up Sunday.  Sorry, we had a slight change of plans as our daughter was born Sunday morning, so I was unavailable.  If you would still like to buy it, please…"

David Kennedy replied to Laura's discussion Diatomaceous Earth? in Micro Livestock
"Hi Laura,
We've had a similar experience with ants this summer, too.  They've been terrible.  Ants are all around the coop and make it very difficult and unpleasant to be inside for any period of time.  Just going in to change the water or give them…"

David Kennedy replied to Theresa MarPre's discussion new to chickens in Micro Livestock
"Theresa,
My Americauna also took a long time before she finally started laying.  I believe she was 7 months old and was the last of our flock to do so.  The heat will also decrease egg production, so I assume the stress of it all will also prolong…"

"Hello,
I'd like to ask you about your Guinea Fowl. Specifically, do they really have this voracious appetite for ticks that I've read about? Are they very noisy?"
