    Penny the hen is getting better...But Peanut is down

    Picture of my roo was taken on Thursday the 12th, he became lame on the 13th and the second photo was on the 14th. He is eating some but his vision appears to be impaired as well. Does this look like Marek's? Not sure if the link will work. But my video will not upload...

    Penny the hen is getting better...But Peanut is down

    I have been using hibiclens the past couple days. Cut some of the dead skin away. Soaking with mineral oil to soften up some more to cut away. Wrap it to keep her from pecking. She has lost her appetite. Offering a wide variety of food, but she is still drinking. Started torpedo feeding. Not...

    My hen today was kept in her kennel due to rain an heavy winds. Wanted to keep her separate from the rooster an give her time to rest. Yesterday she over did I think.

    Wondering why my chickens won’t use their perches at night?

    I leave a small light on every night. It helps them to see to get up and down. We had a power outage one afternoon an at night time I had to put them on the roost. They were all huddled together before that. Plus the light I heard keeps them laying?? I am still getting 10-11 eggs a day out of 12...

    Love this quote, Psalm 9:9-10 "The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble." Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened. Thank you for reminding me that God mercy is not ours to understand but to walk in faith that our experiences make us better people.

    Thank you, I am cleaning her wound twice a day now and it is smaller and the center seems soft, where as before it was hard. So I hoping we are on the verge of seeing better days. She wanted to spar with another hen yesterday but I had to intervene. Otherwise I keep her away from the rooster...
