Chicken keepers

Michaela,
I don't think you need to do anything. We've had hens with all kinds of feet problems, even one we almost had to amputate a toe, if indeed they are called toes. Just keep an eye on her. Keep in mind they often get frostbitten toes and live a long, healthy life. Hope this helps.

I noticed today that one of my chickens appears to have a broken toe. I'm not sure how long it has been like that, and she seems to be walking fine. Anyone know what I should do?

Hey all! I started a new community on localfoodcleveland for our co-op: http://localfoodcleveland.ning.com/group/CASFAKC . All the information and the title are tentative, and if other folks want to change them, let me know. Join up and we can keep the conversation going there!

good point. the schedule is looking a bit difficult... i think i could set up a teleconference instead. that would be easier for all! I could set up a DimDim meeting.

Lets return to the availability we left at http://doodle.com/7uta4fgrs55dmsh8 and re-enter it for a phone meeting.

Sound like a plan?

Keeping this online to some degree would be helpful. I'm big into chickens and I think I have things to offer, but with everything else I have going on there is no way I have time for meetings...
any online options?

BTW - we are collecting them on March 9th

Hi all,

I've just ordered 25 chicks from Meyers - 14 mixed brown layers, and 11 Easter eggers. I've order 25 as they are a LOT cheaper that way, but I'm only wanting to keep about 15. If anyone is looking for a few chicks (they will be Mereks vaccinated) I'm happy to sell a few for the price I am paying. Will be $1.95 for the brown assorded and 2.23 for the Easter Eggers. Only willing to part with a few EEs though :)

We're in Chardon Twp,

Cheers!

Tracey

Richard...I messed up the poll.....I didn't see the next week avilabilities until I pressed send. I am however open for anything other than March 1st. Just an FYI on my dates. Thanks so much for setting this up!

This is very exciting... I don't think the co-op should be limited to just feed, I think people should be able to give and take what they need and come up with new requests - it will keep it ever growning and adding new members. For those people who can't travel, would you be willing to participate via phone? I would be willing to set that up...
