Nope! Acting weird again. Soft, liquidy crop. Stinky, vomit smell. Definitely sour crop.

She’s back to normal now.

I have 16 pullets that would sleep on the ground. What I did at the end of nautical twilight on the first night was gather them all up, one or two at a time, and physical place them in the coop. The next night, I did it again. On night three, all but two went to roost. On night four, all were...

I checked her crop just now (it’s morning). It’s not very full and feels like it has liquid in it. No strange smells or fluids on her.

If I only had time to do all that.

She seems to be walking around in a zombie daze, not eating human brains, not socializing with the other chickens. Reminds me of when I was a stoner in the 9th grade back in 1978. Look at how she does a "head swirl." Really strange! What's going on with her?Head swirl

So, did that work? I hate it when people abandon a thread with no resolution!

I hope my FBCM emotional support rooster doesn’t turn mean. As far as he knows, I’m his momma (hand raised him from hatching).

Buck was an accident. We asked for all females from the breeder, but sexing isn’t 100% accurate. Wife said kill him now, but I felt sorry for how badly the pullets were treating him. He wouldn’t leave the roost, so I brought him food and water. I thought we were becoming bros. One day I picked...

I removed the splint. She does seem to be walking more normally. I think I'll keep her away from the other 15 pullets for a while because they like to crowd surf when they're panicking. Besides, the little light Sussex chick I saved from certain death the other day likes her.

Somethings not right in the description. 23 gauge is basically the diameter of small sewing pin. It’s about 3/128ths of an inch. Lowes doesn’t sell hardware cloth that gossamer thin, unless your Lowes is way different than my Lowes. The stuff I bought off the shelf would keep a rabid wolf out...

I have roosters in my flock. I assume every egg I scramble and eat is probably fertilized. I’ve only seen a spot like that once in six years. Didn’t eat it. Remined me of balut. Doesn’t really answer you question, does it?

I used the same on my first run/coop. My experience is yes it will. It’s been six years. No rust. No holes. No predators getting through. Staple or screw in down well. Pictures on my profile.

Didn’t read the above post?

The leg has been in a splint for a week. Is that long enough, or should I leave it on longer?
