So sorry. I know how bad they hurt!
Try soaking your finger in a water/peroxide mix. This will swell the splinter. If it isnt showing enough to pull out after that, apply a black salve and wait till you can get to it.
It took mine a couple of days.
Hope this helps
Red Fan,
I am new to this, but I have 25 Dark Cornish in a brooder, 1 week old. Not suppose to be as prone to the leg issues as the Cornish X, but still fast growers.
I am looking forward to the taste test.
Have also seen posts here about Freedom Rangers, which are suppose to be tasty.
Good...
First I too want to thank those getting info from a vet, and all who have posted with their losses.
I am a 1st time chick owner. Received my birds from McMurray on March 10th. Weather for shipping was in between storms. Receive phone call from PO on that Monday AM.
I ordered 5 each of
Blue...
: )
I got my phone call from the PO at 7 am today!!!
My sister and I picked them up and then she ran them to my place, where my DH and her happily put them in the brooder!!
When I got home we decide the barn was too cold, so I shall be lulled to sleep by quiet peeps
any way...
Sorry for the losses. Everytime I hear of them I get so nervous and sad. Mine are due to arrive Monday. I hope the weather holds as it is predicted to be sunny and warm.
I left 3 phone numbers with the post office but will probably be parked outside like the rest of you did
Thanks for sharing...
Perfectly_ Polish I am so sorry to hear of your loss
I too am waiting on my first shipment.
Brooders are ready coop will be built as soon as ground dries up a bit more, or it will be a tad bit crowded in the cabin
I ordered 25 Dark Cornish
and 5 each of
Silver Spangled Hamburgs
White...
I know how you feel, my DH and I will be getting our 1st 50 babies on Mar 10th
He just finished building our 2 brooders too...
Same question, should they be painted?
We also are waiting for the weather to break to build the coop.
Good luck with yours!
Alley,

I too will continue to send good thoughts and prayers.
Hang in there.

Alley,
I have been away for a few days, I just caught up on 20 pages of posts. People care about what is happening to you and your family.
Its been said over and over;
STAY STRONG, TAKE CARE OF YOU... LEAVE IT TO GOD.
I cried reading your posts, I will hug my DH when he gets home.
Vent here...
