    Hi, I received this note: Dear [Rare Avis], Thank you for your patience! We know you are eagerly awaiting the arrival of your 6-week-old chickens next week. Unfortunately, we have even more sad news: we are discontinuing our juvenile chickens program this spring. A slower-than-expected...

    Help With Comb, Flavus & Iodine?

    Hi, Sadie has what I'm 99% sure is a mild case of flavus {white/pale yellow powder on 'floppy' depression of comb}. Our new vet suggested betadine, an iodine solution, topically, rather than lotrimin or a similar topical. After applying, the comb seems to be peeling very, very thin layers...

    Has anyone ever had a one legged chicken? Does anyone know about carts? 3D Prosthetics? I am conside

    I'm very interested in this hopping thing. I've heard abut it with one other rooster, too. I'm wondering whether I should attempt to amputate based on: Outcome: 3D Prosthetic Peg leg heel, nub, neoprene booty adapted Not worry really about where, because they really can hop and...

    Has anyone ever had a one legged chicken? Does anyone know about carts? 3D Prosthetics? I am conside

    That's great advice, thank you... :) I rescue orphaned or sick or injured kittens and senior dogs and others at times. Some have been written off: prolapsed anus, for instance; malnutrition. I love them; I heal them; I work with a vet. I do not claim authority in this area, but I know...

    Has anyone ever had a one legged chicken? Does anyone know about carts? 3D Prosthetics? I am conside

    What is he policy on bumping old threads, here? If I see an old thread that is topically relevant, but I hope to talk to real people and not just read, is it OK to add a comment or Q or should one expect a reply, if old? I can RESEARCH, I have access to INFORMATION, What I seek? Is human...

    Has anyone ever had a one legged chicken? Does anyone know about carts? 3D Prosthetics? I am conside

    Clearly, this is a radical step. I am uncertain of how to proceed. I believe or I'm considering the ethics: If a young chicken is in pain and having difficulty walking, and my vet does not want to become an expert: ie he can no longer try to diagnose him, can a rooster live a happy life with...

    Post surgery crop remains open

    I'm not talking about whether one surgery is more barbaric than another. I'm new to chickens. This is a straightforward question, not an insult: Is there a code of ethics that chicken owners follow that provide guidelines for say; someone new, that might clarify for me what is and what is...

    Post surgery crop remains open

    How did this go? I have a Q: What are the guidelines, or are there any, regarding the ethics of this extreme of care being undertaken on chickens? Is there a sort of industry wide dos and donts? I gotta admit: it shocks me that a surgery would be performed without any medical background...

    CHICKEN / FOWL NAMES! To Name or Not to Name? Do You Name Yours? W/ Sally Sunshine & BantyChooks

    Sorry, Sally Sunshine, I kinda dropped the ball there on the whole Jeeves thing. I'm not myself; so worried. I apologize. But? I got some of my story out, and that felt cathartic, so thank you, once again. Where are you from? Jeeves, by the by? We often associate this with Alfred...

    CHICKEN / FOWL NAMES! To Name or Not to Name? Do You Name Yours? W/ Sally Sunshine & BantyChooks

    OOooo... I LOVE Rocky! Weird? It does NOT remind me of Sylvester Stallone, who I do NOT, particularly, care to allude to. Rocky? That's the road we've been on: his start in life. Plus? It's just d*mn COOL. Too hipster? I LIKE it!!!! I think it fits him: his whole gestalt...

    [EDITED for content: 10:15 EST Sat] Sally, thank you! I'll get right to it, if you don't mind; niceties later? I'd GUESS 2-3? I think a tad skinny BUT? Others do not. I am PUSHING the nutrients; there is HUGE backstory, here... I suspected nutritional issues from day one. My vet? Just...
