Hi cpartist, Nice eggs! (in your avatar). mm

It looks like the dead line was Friday, November 9th. Do you think it's still open?

Absolutely. They just speak French. mm

Oh, yes. Protein levels make a difference. All four of mine are molting now. I had a conversation with the woman who supplies my organic feed about this when she delivered my 80lb order of layer mash. She took one 40lb bag back and swapped it for another 40lbs of broiler mash. She says growing...

Rancher, I'm not sure which is the first joint, but if it is in the lower part of the leg, maybe wrapping it would at least help...? Having just recently dealt with double bumble feet in my EE/Andalusian, Violet, I noticed that the vet wrap gave her a good bit of added support. But, as I write...

Same here! Inside the coop looks like Agnes exploded! Last month it was Florence. Pearl, who is on her third "broody" spell since March, is taking the advantage of the opportunity to "feather her nest" with the ample supply of fluff. (It's easy to tell since Pearl is a BO, and she is using JG...

Very nicely said. mm

Speckledhen, So sorry for your loss.Our lives are forever improved by the love of our pets. mm

My favorite super-easy squash recipe: puncture an acorn squash (so it doesn't explode), pop it in the microwave for about 20 mins (for a 1-2 lb squash). Once it is soft, and cool enough to handle, cut open, remove seeds, scoop softened flesh into a bowl, add butter, salt/pepper, and maple syrup...

Speckled Hen, I am so sorry about Suede. I know you don't know me, but I recognize in your postings that you have with Suede, one of those once-(or twice)-in-a-lifetime relationships that are so rare. For me it was my cat, Mona, who was almost twenty when she died. We shared a birthday, I...

The ones where I'd like to replace my eyeballs with ice cubes are my favorites. The nausea and photo-sensitivity are something else. Hope it lifts soon. mm

Many moons ago, I figured out that only one third of my migraines were actually migraines. It turned out that one third were actually sinus infections. This I learned when I was in college and got stuck in the dorms for the weekend with a massive headache, and all I could find was my roommate's...

I was looking at your avatar as I was reading this paragraph, and I just had to laugh. It really seemed as though it was the chicken speaking about her travels..... About four or five years ago we had two big trees removed, a Norway Maple and a huge, multi-trunked Holly. In the following...

cetawyn, kathyinmo, seminolewind and speckledhen, Thank you all so much for all the great help and support. I think I only have one more question: how can I copy/paste or otherwise save this section of this thread so I can reference it again when needed? I've already put Ruth's how-to on my...

I wonder about that too. I am already fluent in giving injections...I have a diabetic dog...but I have no idea of dosage or even of how to acquire the penicillin. And then there's the bird anatomy thing. As I've said before....I'm still new to all of this. It's not that I have no clue, just not...

Hi again seminolewind, I've been working from the "bumblefoot surgery" how-to in the Learning Center section. Ruth's (the author of the how-to) directions and accompanying photos are really helpful. My Violet's left foot looks exactly like the photos, except that I haven't been able to get to...

Hi Seminolewind, I too am dealing with bumblefeet. My Violet has one in/on each foot, the big one on the left foot is not as painful to her. The little one on the right foot, however, is quite a different story. When my daughter and I did surgery On it on July 4th, it was too small to get at...

I have two broodies at the moment, Florrie (BLRW) and Pearl (BO) who is 19 days into her second brood since May 1st. And they are not only in the coop but insist on both using the same next box at the same time. There are two nest boxes, but even when no one is brooding, all four girls would...
