Days before my 35 b day and I find my first eggs bf and I heading down I hear him shout something about eggs yes they are small yes idk how many of them are laying but I'm on so happy my million dollar eggs lol
Thank you I see your a silkie lady like myself I got my 3 little partridge silkie chicks from a local farm they are so cute I didn't know they came in these colors I love all my birds I did get pretty lucky I took think they are all beautiful
I now have all my birds out in the coop I've put the youngest in a dog crate so the older hens can see them but not pick on them I can't wait for my first egg
Thanks I'm happy things are finally going well I almost gave up this time around slowly but surely things getting better and thanks I've learned a lot here
Miss whelma is finally all better my 3 silkies were finally big enough to go out into the coop everyone is getting along well so far and today is 8 years I've been part of back yard chicken also added heat lamp it's only on when we're home as it has begun to get chilli in Oklahoma
Well I'm not to sure what to do she's still sperated I think it's slowly improving I think she itches it when I'm away I've been doing ointment and saline wash 2 a day she eats and drinks fine how else can I help fix her eye
Do you think a q tip to apply the ointment is ok it's so hard to get in her eye I feel like I'm wasting it and that little thing of meds was 32 bucks at my closest TS
Yes I have been and omg I'm so sry smdh lol that makes sense yes I just made some scrambled eggs for her getting her out to re saline and med her eye tonight is going to be interesting even when not well they can be strong little birds
I'm pretty sure she's contagious tho so wouldn't I not want to keep the others exposed longer then they have been and she's not really alone I have 2 brooders in the garage as well so she has other friends she can hear I'm already stressed the others look sick it may just be me tho
So this is my hen that had the bubbly eye i finally got to tend to her after having to sit with a colicy horse all day and most the night yesterday I can't seem to catch a break lol I did a sailen rinse with gloves on and got some terramycin in it this is her set up as of now anything else I can...
