Oh she is so cute!! :)
I'll keep Corid in mind for next time I have a bout of Cocci. I don't think my local feed mill carries it....I'll look at the other feed stores in town. So glad she is doing alright! :)
I did try this once....only I think I used petroleum jelly...which is basically the same thing, right? I don't know. xD It did really help with getting the crud out!
I've heard of so many different time frames for dipping....but this one makes sense. Dip 2 weeks after to get the...
Hey all!
I've got some senior hens whose leg mites are getting bad again....I've always done the 'dip legs in oil/kerosene mixture ten days in a row' method. The mites always come back in these senior hens though, and I don't have the time to do the oil ten days in a row so often. Is there...
Did she notice any other symptoms? A year and a half ago, I rescued a flock of 49 birds that I was told were in fine health....turned out they were almost practically neglected. I quarantined them of course, but when I let them out with the rest of the flock, everyone started getting sick...
Glad to hear your wee ones are getting better!
Thought I'd mention- any time I have a disease of any kind running through my flock, I immediately get everyone on a vitamin and electrolyte supplement. It really does do wonders. You can get a powder supplement at feed mills. I always keep...
Thanks so much for all the input everyone! Remus' eye infection is pretty much gone now, thankfully. I'm almost positive he's mostly blind in his left eye. :/
Love having these suggestions on hand! Thanks again all! :)
Thanks for the picture! :) They didn't have it at the feed mill....I'll have to go look for it up at Dickey Bub or Orschlen. No TSC close to here. :/ I've been using Vetricyn in his eyes though and it does seem to be helping. Still....I'd like to have some of that Terramycin to keep on hand...
I just got two German Angora's from a friend last night. I've raised rabbits for 5 years, but I'm completely new to Angora's! I've spent all morning working to make them more comfortable outside, since they're used to living indoors.
I brought Remus (the male, albino) inside for a while...
I've always kept my 4 Embdens with my ducks. I have a tiny little Call duck that mouths off to my gander all the time. x)
For the most part, the geese leave the ducks alone...in my experience. They usually all waddle along in the yard together, but there's no bullying, and I've never seen my...
This is a great thread! x)
I've done the works...left them in my coat pocket for days...smashed them in my pocket when leaning up against something....dropped one and did a belly dive to catch it (it cracked anyway). x) I have a funny story though, where I thought I was going to crack some...
Not once in ten years have I had to deal with snakes in my coop. We have them around....rat snakes and Timber Rattlers....we see them on the property bu they never come up to the coop. Don't ask me what the secret is- I don't know! xD
I would either kill him or relocate him. Even if you fix...
