for our couple featheredfriends.

So without further ado, let'sstart today's show.
I was back.
SPEAKER_01 (00:32):
Good morning everyone.
Gary with SinLob BackyardChickens here and the Chickens
Everyday Podcast.
And it is mid-December on agloomy, overcast, misty rain day
here in central Louisiana.
We've had some temperatures downin the 20s today.
It's back up in the 50s, whichis much, much nicer for us,
(00:54):
obviously.
And I wanted to give you guys anupdate on the flock, the young
pullets, and the even youngerpullets now, and let you know
how things are going.
And at the same time, you know,if you're listening to the
podcast, you can you can go seethe video version on YouTube and
TikTok.
But I am going to be showing,you know, some of the backyard
(01:16):
where the chickens are runningaround talking about some of the
things over here.
But unfortunately, uh recentlyuh I lost two birds about a week
and a half apart, a NewHampshire red and a Rhode Island
red.
And their symptoms were verymuch like Merrick's disease.
Uh they couldn't balance, theycouldn't walk, they actually
(01:37):
would use their wings a littlebit to help get around.
Oddly enough, their appetite wasquite good.
I did what I usually do.
I separated them, I made surethat they were nice and warm,
gave them plenty of feed, Iscrambled some eggs so they
would get some good proteins.
I did some research and I wantto I want to kind of warn you
(02:01):
guys when you do your research,I don't recommend getting on a
chicken channel on social mediaand saying, oh, what's wrong
with my chickens?
Here I here I here's what I havegoing on.
You will get so many variedthings about it, and and and
most of these people all arewell-intentioned, you know, but
they're not vets, and andthey're not scientists that
(02:24):
specialize in this.
I try to look up things withwith vets, uh like Dr.
Rebecca, I think Pearlman, uh,who is on Coffee with the
Chicken Ladies uh quite often.
I looked up some information onthe University of Pennsylvania.
Uh Mr.
Jeff uh I I can't remember hislast name right now, but he's
the president of your trailcompany.
(02:46):
He's amazing when it comes tochicken biology, chicken
nutrition.
So, you know, when you startlooking up things, try to get as
much professional advice as youabsolutely can.
It will save you tons ofheartache.
Um, but these two birds, like Isaid, they they had the symptoms
of Merrick's disease.
I don't honestly think that itwas.
(03:08):
Now, but the symptoms were whatyou normally see, you know, with
the balance of the wings, whathave you.
Uh in the end, they were justextremely lethargic, uh,
couldn't really even holdthemselves up as much as I hate
to say it, but I don't like tosee my girls suffering, so I did
the most humane thing that Icould, and that was to euthanize
(03:29):
these these birds, and I hatedto do it.
Uh, especially Lily, my uh NewHampshire Red, she'd been with
me a long time.
She was kind of like the flockleader out here, and she was the
kind of girl, she didn't have tobe mean, and everybody knew she
was the boss, so that was kindof neat uh with her for that.
But the reasons I'm not thinkingit's merric disease from the
(03:52):
research that I've I've lookedat.
Number one, uh, they're olderbirds, and merricks is usually
something that's going to hityounger birds, although it can
go to older ones.
I'm not saying that it can't,and I'm not a veterinarian,
please understand that.
Number two, these birds werevaccinated from the hatchery as
young chicks, uh, whichgenerally means if they do get
(04:15):
merics later, symptoms are quitemild.
These symptoms were were fairlystrong.
Number three, I have chicked orchickens, grown hens out here
that I've hatched that havenever been vaccinated.
And since mericks is supposed tobe extremely contagious, these
chickens never got it.
(04:35):
And it's been a month since uhsince my last chicken, and
nobody else has had any kind ofsymptoms or anything.
And number four, uh, three ofthe birds that I have are
16-year-old leg horn pullets.
And if you look around and youand do your research, leghorns
are one of the birds that can besubject to getting marriage.
(04:56):
And none of these birds, nobodyelse has had any issues, so I'm
not sure what's going on.
Another thing that you you canfind is it could be a nutrition
issue, a vitamin deficiency thatcan cause that, and it can.
But if you look, my girlspasture range every day.
I buy the most expensive feedthat I can from from the from
(05:20):
the local feed store aroundhere.
Uh, I give them supplements, uh,I you know, I give them scraps,
you know, so I know that they'regetting a buried amount of feed.
Another thing that I've lookedup in that it could have been
was what they call avianleucosis, uh, which kind of can
mimic Merrick's disease, butmore I looked into it, the less
(05:43):
that I felt like that that waswhat the issue was.
Uh, and finally, I found that Ihad some feed that I had uh feed
mites in my feed.
And feed mites themselves don'thurt your chickens, they can eat
them, you know, they're notgoing to hurt the birds, but
what they do, they eat all thenutritional parts of your
(06:06):
chicken feed.
And now your your birds, whilethey're maybe getting their
belly full, they're not gettingthe nutrition that they should
be because of the mites.
And the only way you can get ridof them, you can freeze your
feed, you know, for three daysat a time, uh, or you can just
throw it away, which is what Iended up doing.
And then I completely washed outuh my food containers for them,
(06:28):
and uh my big girls that theyeat out of the uh feed silo, and
I'll show you that right here.
And it's a coop works feed silo.
The good thing about this thingis it is all plastic and metal,
so you can take it out,completely clean it, you know,
to make sure that you don't haveany more issues with it.
(06:50):
So it's a mystery.
I don't know why I lost thesesweet animals, but I did.
Uh, I don't have access to a vetover here.
I've checked everywhere in ourparish in Louisiana we have
parishes instead of counties.
I've checked all the parishesover here, I've checked every
adjoining parish, and nobodydoes birds.
(07:11):
So that's just unfortunate.
In better news, you know, therest of the flock is good.
Um, my leghorns, wherever theyare, they're running around here
somewhere, are now 16, 17 weeksold.
So, as a leg horn, I'm kind ofexpecting them to lay almost any
day now.
They lay pretty white eggs,they're great, they're very
(07:33):
prolific and they're laying.
And the reason that I had themis because we do have the
Honesty egg stand, and mycustomers were like eggs, and
these girls are taking a prettygood break here in the winter
and not really laying that well.
But because of the time of yearthat it is, they may not start
laying at 16, 18 weeks, youknow.
(07:55):
They may wait a while.
I I just don't know.
Uh, but I have some pretty goodconfidence in them.
Uh, after that, the youngerbirds, pullets now, are 12 weeks
old.
And if you've been following meuh on them, uh they've been in
the grow out pen, which you seethe big girls are kind of
hanging out, they love the growout pin just as well.
(08:16):
But I bring the grow-out pen outwith these things when they're
three around three weeks old,and they really get used to
being part of the flock.
And when they're about six weeksold, I start letting them run
around out here in the yard.
And at three weeks, betweenthree weeks and six or seven
weeks, however, however, I feelconfident about it.
What this does is it gives theflock time to get very used to
(08:40):
these birds being around, andthey actually kind of become
part of the flock by doing so.
And then I just start lettingthem turn loose in the yard, and
you get the usual flockdynamics.
The hens will kind of show theirauthority over them because
pecking order is a real thing,but they're so used to them
they're not going to attack themand kill them.
(09:01):
At least I've never had thatexperience with letting them get
used to them.
And now it's about time tointroduce them into the uh big
coop.
So this week I will be removingthis grow-out pin that you see
right here, and I'll be puttingthe uh young pullets in the coop
over there at night.
Now, I'll probably have to dothis for a couple of nights,
(09:23):
maybe not.
The leg horns went right to itwith no problem, uh, and we'll
see how these other ones do, butit's time for them to start
going in there.
They're about two-thirds thesize of a grown hen, so it
shouldn't be that big of a deal.
And like I say, they all runaround together every day out
here in the yard.
The only difference is is I lockthem, lock the pullets up at
(09:45):
nighttime in here.
So that should be kind of coolto see that dynamic dynamics.
What I do with this thing, uh,every time I get through with it
for the winter or whatever timeof year it is, I'll bring it in
my shop, I'll clean it up, andthen I'll repaint or repair
anything that needs repairing.
You can see I've got a littlebit of chipping paint right here
(10:05):
and right here, so I'll finishchipping all that stuff off,
repair any parts that need it,and repaint things.
And this thing last years, I'vealso got a couple of fans in
here for whenever it's very hotsummer.
You can get to this thing in allkinds of ways.
Uh, the front of it opens up theroof itself, will open up.
(10:28):
So, yeah, there's all kinds ofways to do this.
Now it's winter time, so we haveconcerns about making sure that
your chicken stay warm andcomfortable.
I do not use supplemental heathere in Louisiana.
You know, we've had temperaturesthat get down in the single
digits before, but really, ifyour coop is designed well and
you have good fluffy birds,you're not really going to have
(10:51):
a problem with that.
And I have not seen that.
The scary part about if you usesupplemental heat and your
animals get used to it, therethey physically get used to
having that supplemental heat.
You lose power for a couple ofdays.
These birds are not acclimated,uh, they can actually die from
the shock of that sudden cold.
So it's kind of good, you know,to let them get used to it.
(11:13):
And that nature does a wonderfuljob.
I have a lot of doors andopenings in my coop that I close
during the winter, but the topof it stays vented.
There's room up there for ventsbecause we want odors to go out.
Uh, since the since the coopfaces the north, I put a screen
(11:34):
up to block some of the wind forthem sometime, and that helps
protect the birds as well.
Uh, you know, we got lots ofnext boxes.
I got four right there.
I've got four more uh on theoutside that we check.
I use run chicken doors, as youguys know.
I really like these run chickendoors, uh, they're great,
(11:55):
they're reliable.
Uh clean them up and keep going.
Since I'm the the high-techrednik, as my friends always
say, I also have blink cameras.
I have one there.
I've got another one up on thecoop, and I've got uh the indoor
blink camera that actuallyrotates around you know with my
phone inside the coop that I canlook look at all the birds, but
(12:19):
for winter time, uh they getunder here under the roof when
they want to.
It was really, really funny onthose days when it got down to
20 degrees.
I was concerned about the youngones.
Uh, in the first day of 20degrees, I had supplemental heat
in the grow out pen, and I cameout here at daylight, and they
were all outside and underneaththe pen.
(12:40):
They weren't even worried aboutit, and it was 20 friggin' or 21
degrees out here, so they hadfeathered out really well and
and we're and we're stayingwarm.
So I removed the heat because Iwant them back to acclimate to
the cold as best they can, butLouisiana's just not terrible
about it.
So this coming week I will bemoving the birds, putting them
(13:00):
in there.
Uh hopefully everything willstay good.
I don't really anticipate anyproblems since they all get
along quite well.
Oh well, the three leg hornsdecide to show up, and you can
kind of see some of the othergirls.
Uh that's Barney, BuffOrpington.
(13:20):
They are the pullets that aregonna start joining the big
group before too long.
So, yeah, everybody's lookinggood.
Everybody seems to be happy.
You know, while I've got y'all'sattention here, we might as well
go see if we got any eggs in theegg box.
Y'all just think you're gonnaget a snack, don't you?
(13:43):
Okay, no hens in there.
I got a couple there, a couplethere, and one there.
So not too many.
Five eggs, but it's it is thetime of year.
So, guys, thank y'all forlistening so much to see what's
(14:04):
going on with my flock rightnow.
Uh wintertime setting in overhere in Louisiana.
