2) What is the behavior, exactly.
She cannot open her eye, which has been producing white goopy material.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms...
Well? Huh?
I am TOTALLY geeked out over Season 3 of the Clone Wars - I think this is the first time in YEARS I've wanted fall to hurry up and get here!
Also, see my signature. Nobody but a nerd would do that, as my sister keeps helpfully pointing out.
DD1 has hair down to her elbows, and she's getting it cut in a few months.
In the meantime, she says she's really tired of ponytails, and wants to know how y'all put up your long hair.
Any ideas for her?
Hey- this is BYC! Why don't we have this database?
I'll try to get on as often as possible and update this original post- I'm excited to see how many movies there are with chickens in them!
If you don't mind and if it's a fleeting chicken sighting, could you tell me what scene the chicken...

1: Find 5-gallon bucket.
2: Fill said bucket halfway up with DE (Diatremetious Earth, bad spelling)
3: Insert chicken to be dusted into bucket.
4: Close top, shake vigorously.
I felt like doing this after dusting my entire flock today. There was more DE on me than them! At least I'm louse-...
How is it? Is it fun?
I hatched out a few WCB Polish banties last year as an experiment to see if my cock was fertile....yup!
Sooooo, I really wanted to see what 'real chicken people' thought of 'em, escpecially my sweet Shanty. I've never shown before- the kiddos and I entered them in the...

2) What is the behavior, exactly.
He's limping.

I am just learning about signatures and was clicking on everything in 'Profile' to see how it works:

So, DD just finished the science unit on sound and is now learning about and the electromagnetic spectrum (light of all possible wavelenghts, frequencies, and colors.).
She knows that there are sounds and light too high and low for us to hear and see, and what she is wondering is:

My poor betta girl died from what I found out was dropsy.
Two questions:
1.) Can it hurt me if I wear gloves while cleaning out the tank?
2.) Is it contagious to other fish? Can I clean it out really well and let it sit for a few months, then get more fish?
Thanks!
My DD lugged two I-845s home from school- read about it here- https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=286153.
SO, does anybody own a Brower? Are there any slight wackinesses I need to be aware of? Are they a good beginner's incubator? Thanks so much for any help!

My science teacher was cleaning out the supply closet, and she asked me if I wanted two incubators - if I didn't, she was just going to throw them out.

1) What type of bird , age and weight.
Bantam Partridge Cochin, 2 years old, I don't know, kinda light.
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
