    Thanks for the great info! I saw the bubbles and already did the flush and terraM treatment. Will continue. I don't have any iodine I will go pick some up. assume I should dilute it. I see some people do iodine and some don't. No wheezing/ sneezing from any of them they seem pretty happy...

    Pecked eye treatment

    So this happened overnight and this am. She was fine last night. She was separated right away and is eating and drinking fine. Thought about spraying vetericin on it but don't want it to go in her eye. What else can I do? Other eye is fine.

    Im chicken to feed them the carcass!

    I agree. Hubbie just had a major surgery so I'm beyond exhausted from stress and a week of constant after care, and literally can't put this away today. Probably fine to eat or process the next day but just don't care RN. 😮‍💨 A treat for the Feathered friends.

    Im chicken to feed them the carcass!

    Only had chickens 1.75 years. Seen lotsa posts online people tossing these in their runs to pick clean. Tell me this is ok, they won't develop some crop problem I won't know how to fix or other issues. Yes they have grit avail. 25 chickens.
