    Review by 'countrybumpkin5' in article 'Alternate method to prevent water freezing.'

    I agree with other reviewers. While apparently this seems to work for you, it wouldn't work for me and my flock. The water would be filthy in short order. Even their raised heated water bucket gets dirty and I have to clean it at minimum every other day. Not sure how it works for you but it's a...

    Warm winter hats for Roosters

    Apparently not, at least in her situation, otherwise she wouldn't have continued to use them.

    Dying rooster - How to care for him in his last moments...?

    Excellent advice. Humans are far too quick to kill things, everything. Apache has made it thus far and from the beginning it didn't sound like he was dying at all. I have never had to kill a chicken, ever. Nor does any of my flock get injured or sick. That said, when the time for an animal to...

    Dying rooster - How to care for him in his last moments...?

    You are repeatedly being cruel, mean, and heartless to someone who is, understandably, upset and is not going to do this to her chicken and I agree. He is not that bad yet, per her description and no one knows how much he is actually "suffering". Too many people kill animals far too soon and...

    Negative temps

    In SW Missouri and yes, very cold here for several days and heading that way again. We were 8 below temps with -45 degree wind chill. I kept the chickens inside 2 days and let out during the warmest part of the other days. Still the roosters have some frost bite, which happened last year, too. I...

    ISA Brown, 3rd Summer, Heading for a Natural Death?

    I'm sorry for your loss and heartache as well as your daughter's. Your daughter is clearly a kind soul who is being raised properly and with love and compassion which IMO is extremely important. As far as euthanizing at the "proper" time, well, I'm not sure as humans we can tell when that is...

    Starving Herself…

    I'm so sorry! I've not had to cull a chicken in my years, but have had many other animals in need. Of course the domesticated pets we take to the vet but all of the wild animals or tiny feral kittens or something wild hit on the road I have my son or neighbor take care of. I just can't do...

    Starving Herself…

    How is she today, Barb? There are other homeopathic remedies that address lameness, depending on her specific symptoms. The remedies don't address "diagnoses" but rather symptoms since each person (or animal) can present with different symptoms or level of symptoms.

    @Barb Root Hinkkanen Did you have a comment or question? I have seen posts copied before like this with no comment but never understood why. This type of forum isn't my strong suit.....

    I have no idea why this copied your post twice.... Yes, indeed, you can treat all living things with both of these substances, including plants. There are also individual Bach Flower remedies, (as well as numerous other homeopathic remedies), that may be even more helpful. It does take just a...

    Please help - entire batch of chicks dying suddenly - TWICE

    I'm sure you already know, but some may not. Most bottled water is simply tap water with a high price, and then you also have the extreme toxicity of the plastic bottle. If one is drinking proven filtered spring water in a glass bottle then that's different. Most people, however, think buying...

    Please help - entire batch of chicks dying suddenly - TWICE

    Tap water meaning municipal water that has been treated with chemicals. Well water, unless a very shallow well with chemical runoff, should be fine. One problem with letting water sit outside this time of year is the heat, depending on location. Yes, chlorine will dissipate, but many cities are...

    Why did my Broody hen not hatch any chicks?

    I'm in SW Missouri as well, same temps over 100 for many days, as well as big strong wind storm Sunday taking out power for three days so the chickens didn't even have their fans on in the coop. Strangely enough, I had two days where I went from 19 to 24 eggs a day down to 16 and now back up to...

    Oh, and to answer your question as to stores that have them, usually any health food store will carry them.

    So sorry I'm late to reply. Yes, people remedies. Glad you found them. They do also make a "pet" version of the Rescue Remedy. It is just made without alcohol, but I've never used it. Animals that can will make a face when given a few drops but otherwise it's not an issue. I should've said to be...

    If you feel that her behavior is from sadness or similar emotions/fears, get some Ignatia homeopathic pellets and give to her. It usually only takes a few doses over a couple of days to do the trick. I've had to use it many times for various species of animals. I would also give her some Bach's...

    Please help - entire batch of chicks dying suddenly - TWICE

    Agree with a previous commenter, this is a sudden change in the environment. This is a neurological response to some toxic exposure or electrical. That could also mean a surge of EMF exposure. And also agree with the chicks on the floor where most, but not all, toxic fumes accumulate, they would...

    Quail chicks dying one by one - can I do anything?

    And actually their bans are not lawful but most people don't know this nor know the correct way to stop it but it's doable. Like you say, another issue.

    URGENT any human antibacterial medicine to use on chickens?

    It is incredibly expensive for more than an occasional use, which is why having your own generator is so essential and it pays for itself in literally less than the first gallon you make. I know the generator is an expense also as I couldn't pay cash for one now either, have to be on credit...

    URGENT any human antibacterial medicine to use on chickens?

    Agree totally! I don't see a thread on this forum that relates to any health condition at all that would not benefit at minimum and in most cases completely clear it up from using silver, and only silver most of the time. A generator is a must for anyone with more than just a couple animals of...
