I read through a few past posts and cleaned the wound out with the sink sprayer really well and then used Hibiclens on it. I air dried it a bit and then took a chunk of antibotic and shoved in on the skin flap and pasted it back on. It was still wet so it wasnt holding too well. I will just have...

I'm so ticked right now but I need help for my hen. My stupid dog went after one of my oldest hens. He was on a chain but she couldnt get away before injury. She has basically her entire thigh skin hanging off. should I cut the skin off and will it heal over the muscle? How should I clean it...

OMG it was as easy as Wiki?? goodness lol. Thanks bunches!!!

Ok getting into selling eggs now and the USDA only has a weight per dozen of eggs. Does anyone know of individual weights for eggs? I look at an egg and its large or small to me.. young chicken small or OMG that hurt large. I want to know what sizes they are for each egg. I havent bought store...

Wolf Co-op has bought the Honeyville feeds. If you go to Wolcottville they have organic feed but it has soy in it. If you want soy free you have to call ahead and have them make you a batch. They also carry Throvin kelp which is awesome as a supplement for all animals. Their organic soy feed was...

Well last night I found two eggs in with them so that was great! The one hen seems to be normal but the other one still is not. She is still walking like a duck. I felt again inside and there is no egg so I will just leave them together for a few days and keep checking. The great part is they...

Well I hope it all passes well and that this isn't an emergency. There is not much I can do at this point. I soaked them in the sink for half hour. One didnt seem very relaxed. The other fell asleep. When I felt inside I didnt feel the egg it was more like skin with an egg up above. The sink...

Well no eggs as of this morning. I soaked them and lubed them up inside. They are resting together in my chick area. Thanks so much for the suggestion of youtube. You'd think I'd go there second but it didnt even cross my mind!

A friend of mine had me take her birds because she couldn't care for them any longer due to physical limitations. They have been together for 8 years. I need to re-home them. One is a pionus parrot named Harley and the other is a green cheek conure named Ranger. Our house is small and I feel...

They were all fine this morning but now I have two chickens walking upright like ducks. I have read and think they are eggbound, but really? Two in one after noon? At first I thought maybe they had eaten something bad but then of course all you smart people on here have already posted when...

Does anyone know how much penicillin you can give a lamb that weighs about 50 lbs. The penicillin I have is the injectible. It doesnt give amounts on it and I've tried to look it up on the internet. Something I read said to give 1 cc per 100 pounds of body weight but I dont know if it is...

There is an ad in the paper for someone selling australian chickens..what are they?

My silkie only has 4 toes on one foot and the other is 5..odd but ok, its a mutt silkie so I just chalked it up to genetics.

I had a full grown cat show up and hang out with my girls. I called her my chicken coop cat. She kept the mice out of the feed. I would lock her up inside at night. I have two areas..one for chickens and one for feed and supplies..this also has my chick area...she slept there and ate good...

I was using a red heat light for my brooder in my coop but because I have a screen top, it would throw my girls off the laying cycle. Even during winter I'd leave one on..eggs were not consistent. This year I asked my sister if I could borrow her ceramic heat bulb because the chicks were in...

I didn't know Golden Comets were sex linked. I love golden comets, they are almost as nice and friendly as Isa Browns.

I was wondering if anyone had taken the LG bator top and created a new bottom for it? If you have something that used the parts or even the styrofoam top can you let me know?

Well my hatch is done. I think it went really well. I started by setting 20 eggs. On day 5 I candled and all seemed ok. Day 10 I candled but 3 were questionable. Day 15 I candled and 6 were no good. So the remaining 14 went into lockdown. Day 21 I got 1 chick.. Day 22 I got 7...Day 23 I...

That's what I've been doing with my yolk sac chicks. The brooder is full of fluffy butts and i don't need them pecking at a new one. These eggs are going slow. I got one zipping right now..I am guessing the pip that was there yesterday will be born tonight while I sleep. i still have eggs...

No matter what it sucked but it is done. It wasn't even drying the right way or anything. It did look an awful lot like intestines. Well so goes life I guess. So far I got 7 healthy chicks and another zipping very slow. I still got like 4 eggs to go too. Pokey chicks! Thanks for everyone's...
