    Tucson area folks, bulk feed order It may have been too late (I think today is the deadline), but I just placed an order with the Phoenix bulk feed order. Did anyone else from the Tucson area order? I'd love to split costs for the drive. If my order was accepted, I'll be driving our Prius to...

    Fuzzy Bird - I voted! Good story. Pimachickens - I'm glad your new chickens are doing well, and sorry about the dominance issues! I agree that removing the bully for a while might help. I had one like that, and after a week being separated from the flock, she was knocked down a few levels...

    Noodlegirl - Glad to help. A couple of things to keep in mind about using the ice packs, which you have probably already though of: 1 - It is not hard to find fertile eggs to let her hatch if you want the experience. Just mention it on here, we have plenty of enablers! 2 - Don't give her...

    Great photo! Wow on the brooder! Perhaps a tad over-engineered? Made with love (or obsession) though! Really, it is fabulous.

    Noodlegirl - If you don't want to let the hen hatch eggs, or raise chicks, I have had success "breaking" a hen of her broody-ness with ice packs. It might take 2 or 3 days, but it has worked for me three times on two hens. I use the lunch-box sized ice packs, or one of the soft larger ones...

    Mikey - Oh no!!!! I am so sorry. I agree, if you can swing, a trip to the vet might be worth it for peace of mind and to be prepared to treat any other occurrences. This really is rotten. You have had such crappy luck with these chicks. Hang in there. Becky- So sorry about your cat. That is...

    Mikey - Sorry, no way can I catch up on the last 8000-ish posts but I wanted to agree that flushing the eye with sterile saline solution a few times a day won't hurt and may help. I don't remember what your chick's eye looked like, but for my hen, we ended up with opthalmic drops that made a...

    Mikey - I'm glad your gals are improving, good work! Mama Hen Chris - So sorry for your gal's departure. Nurseshelly, Memphis, Gallo - THANKS again for your response to my plea for help. I was surprised how few people responded, especially in this knowledgeable group. The GREAT news is that...

    Apparent laryngitis, 13 year old male cockatiel

    I see no one has posted yet, but you must be worried. I don't know anything about small birds, but it sounds like a respiratory illness that may require antibiotics. Search online to see what you find, and what antibiotics are recommended. Pet stores often have small bird medicines and...

    My Daisy Attacked by neighbor's dog. Advice on wounds please

    I agree, you may also want to cover it with a non-stick pad, and hold it on with vet-wrap. Keep in clean, flush it again if necessary, watch it, and you can use warm compresses on the healing wounds to help speed healing. I assume you have her isolated, if not, I'd recommend it until the wounds...

    Memphis Thanks for input RE my hen, and I LOVE the idea of "cloverbuds!" It really made me giggle. Get 'em hooked young! I wish there was a 4H for for the over-40 career changers! Perhaps "Dormant Seeds?"

    Yikes! Swollen eye, but no discharge, eyes bright, behavior normal...What is it?!

    Thanks, Memphis! I'll research that, too. How frustrating. Now I am very worried about my flock...this is my first real disease issue in 5 years. BTW - I have enjoyed your posts on the AZ thread! Made me really want to go to the show in Phoenix!
