Little urban homesteading update with and about the chickens~

I started 6 chicken eggs in the incubator yesterday :)

In 21 days we hope to have our first chicken hatchput :D

I haven't done hatchs on my own. my sister was the one who played with the incubator last it was used, and she was just learning too, to hatch out For her ducks. so this is a full first-time go for me.

I'll be using a janoel12 incubator, and the eggs are coming from the flock we currently have. though if successful, I'll likely hatch out a few from other flock keepers who practice their chicken keeping in a similar mindset to ours.

Several people have asked (irl and online) if we are concerned about any certain virus going around. I would like to say, We are keeping an eye on it in our area and others. At this time, we are continuing with flock keeping as normal. Some things we have changed in keeping, some things we already practiced before.

1. We are now keeping our flock penned up so wild songbirds, pigeons, and other wild/feral birds and feral or "outdoor" cats can not get into their water or feed sources. Nor can they nest on, in or around their roost and run. unfortunately, the chickens do not get free yard run anymore. At least not for a while.

2. Regular cleaning and sanitizing of water containers and food troughs and weekly deep clean of roost/run. Full compost and/or disposal in green clean services available in the city/state we reside. We do use peices of copper tubing inside the waterers to assist in algae reduction and to help keep the water cleaner of bacterials. (Effective for some things)

2b) for us, we wear Long jeans, socks, boots. Long sleeves, gloves and face mask while handling dusty things and cleaning of run and coop. We do have valley fever risk from the soil, particulalry during dust storm season. so this wasn't really new safety measures for us and is kind of a regular precaution. we also change and shower down immediatly after a particulalry dirty job or flock handling.

2c) tools, keep tools cleaned between use and if multiusetools. Particulalry those between flock to otherwise. This can be as simple as spray down, sun dry (rakes, hand tools) to bleach sanitizer solution (scissors, gloves and small items).

3. Keep an eye on beak/nose, eyes, combs/wattles, feet and energy levels of the flock. Quarantine and give medical aid where need and can. Cull if necessary and if suspect of avian virus's of concerns, notify county or state authorities for testing.

Keeping basic sanitary practices and vigilance on flock health is usually enough to keep most problems away for both people and the animals they care for and keep. Not all, but most.

A few years ago, mareks disease got a flock of a homesteader in a separate county (same online circles). Once confirmed and the flock culled, they were told they couldn't have any poultry for seven years. None. So we and other urban and suburban flock keeper sin our area tend to take flock health fairly seriously and keep a pretty good eye on them.

As an urban/suburban flock keeper its worth noting this again, as i always do when it come to asking about keeping flocks.

We became painfully aware that we do not have any avian vets who specialize in chickens after we needed one the first time. Their seen as an agricultural animal and those vets are currently very hard to find, or too expensive to get to visit (many only do house visits or it's a few hours to their office with no easy public transport) when living in an urban and suburban environment.

Thankfully, we've mostly had egg bound hens and bumblefoot as health problems aside from that first time. Both are able to be taken care of at home with minimal equipment and medicines. Youtube has been a great resource for learning how to take care of both and others (spur removal, wound care, different entertainment methods).

But do be aware if you want to keep a flock (chickens, quails, ducks, geese) in any situation you may need to (and should) learn some basic medical care on top of the rest.

That's it for now, thanks for stopping by :)
