    Thank you for this post. Sorry you lost your girl, but your post has helped me a lot as well as many others, I imagine. I had no response from others and then found your post. Thanks again. You will probably be getting this for years! I will start the soaks today and hopefully have some help...

    Bummer, it's Bumble Foot!

    No response from anyone yet. Here is what I have researched. Injection goes into the breast muscle, using a 22 gauge needle. I will look at CVS today instead of waiting for online to arrive. Maybe the scalples also. The dosage is .75 ml/cc. Can I give this more than once? How often? I...

    Bummer, it's Bumble Foot!

    One of my Welsummer hens has bumble Foot! I saw her limping this morning and sure enough, she's got it...on BOTH feet. I have been getting all the things I need to do surgery if it comes to that. I have been reading up on it and will try soaking and massaging first.. She is in my "hospital"...

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    One more question: What happens with a Cream Legbar roo and a Blue Maran hen? Or a black copper hen? Love this thread! Does one parent have to be an Ameraucana?

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I am sure if I read through all 833 pages in this thread, I would find an answer to my question, but until I have time to do that, just let me ask: Will a Lavender Ameraucana Roo on a Welsummer hen produce an olive egger. I've got three of them, all hens :>) Thanks

    Bird Flu in the US

    Here is the beginning of the response from USGS that I just figured out how to copy. :>) Thanks for your email. The USGS detected an H5N2 avian influenza virus from a Northern pintail (a type of duck) that was involved in a mortality event at Wiser Lake, Whatcom County, Washington State...

    Bird Flu in the US

    As promised, here is the follow up on Bird flu that I was able to get from the USGS information bureau. The first part of the response is in the next posting as I couldn't get the "copy" process down right. Read that first, then come back to this one. The USGS studies wild birds only. For...

    Bird Flu in the US

    Thank you for replying and thanks to the support staff. I think this is an important thread and I will make sure it keeps going. I found posts on bird flu in the UK, but missed anything in the US. Please direct me. There was an outbreak in British Columbia, Canada also and all birds were...

    Bird Flu in the US

    What do we know about Bird Flu in the US? Symptoms in birds, prevention, precautions, etc. I I think we should start talking about this and prepare ourselves and our flocks. I understand that there has been an outbreak at a poultry farm in the west, I think in California. I can get a...
