    It is not real hard, I can push in on it some. No scabs or scratches or anything like that.

    Large swollen lump on one side of Hen's neck - Not the Crop - Any Ideas please?

    I have a year old barred rock hen with a large round swollen spot on the left side of her neck, just below the jaw, It is exactly where the red spot is, behind and under the eye. It is NOT her crop. None of the other chickens have this. Don't know about her behavior, other than she is in the...

    Feeding Question

    We have young toms & hens- (Bourbon Reds), older broad brested bronzes (4H), laying hens, hens not yet laying & roosters. It is a lot easier for me if I feed everything the same feed. Can turkeys eat a higher protien (20% ) layer feed? & if so, at what age, I know that they say not to let...

    Emergency Surgery - Did I do this right?

    Good to know about the not suturing up the dog and cat wounds, how about suturing most of it up & leaving an opening at the bottom to drain? It was such a huge gaping wound I think that it would have gotten very dirty if I did not close it up. She is doing well, I think she's gonna make it...

    Emergency Surgery - Did I do this right?

    Came home for lunch today and found our 5 mo old Anatolian pup, who had previously been mostly trustworthy, playing sling the hen (1 year old Barred Rock) around by it's neck. I thought the hen was dead but when I touched it she jumped up and started walking around. I saw she had a gaping...

    GSE (Grape Seed Extract) in a metal water can?

    Been lurking here for several months and never posted anything because I have always been able to search and find the answer to all my questions, however, this one is eluding me. Can I use GSE in a metal water can? I know that Apple Cider Vinegar must not be put in a metal water container due to...
