    Making chicken feed with pellet feed mill machine.

    Thank you for the tip. My chickens are SUPER picky and don't like crumble, they won't eat it they if I leave only mash and nothing else, they would starve and get hangry. When I give mash they fling it everywhere and pick out the bigger pieces like corn and the rest looks like I threw a bag...

    Making chicken feed with pellet feed mill machine.

    We have an opportunity to buy a single phase animal pellet mill for making pellets from local feed store that sells the ground feed already made on 100 lb bags cheap. We have used the ground feed in the past but our chickens were getting upper respitory infections due to the dust and there was...

    Limping guinea - toe swelling and peeling! bumble foot???

    Well this does not have a happy ending. Pretty sure her toe nail bed got bumblefoot in it. There are no vets around me that I could take her. The toe was swelling bigger everyday despite meds,soaking and bandageing. So we decided to try bumble surgery on the black spot under her nail like...

    Long lasting bumble foot

    I would give the meds per Dr, soak foot in Epsom salt and wRm water for 30 min twice a day, then wash with a chlorahexidine soap, let dry, put Neosporin or Pride (drawing salve) on a gauze then place on the open areas and gently wrap up. Keep her in a separate clean area such as a wire dog...

    Limping guinea - toe swelling and peeling! bumble foot???

    I don’t know where she would get water from. All waterers are heated premier 1 and have nipples. We have snow but they don’t go out unless it has melted. All roosts are 2x4 with the 4 side up. I also thought Guinea were hearty in winter. We have a Guinea from a neighbor that we adopted. He...

    Abscess?? Injury?? Infection?? On my Ayams back left rump.

    She passed sometime in the night. She declined so fast yesterday. I think she ate too much salve but idk. I did not find any other wounds. I was going to start an antibiotic today but it didn't work out. Feeling sad my sweety is gone. I tried my best.

    Abscess?? Injury?? Infection?? On my Ayams back left rump.

    I do have hen saddles and tried them.. she is agile and can gut up under them easy. She is the only one with this injury. I have another Ayam that jumps the fence too but I had just clipped 1 wing before the dog got here. Dog or rooster i guess at this point I want to heal her. I did check the...

    Abscess?? Injury?? Infection?? On my Ayams back left rump.

    I trim my roosters spurs back so it’s possible. He is gentle, in 5 years he has never hurt them but it could happen. I was kind of leaning more to an animal injury like dog. This hen frequently jumps the fence and our friends had there dog out all night in the yard. The chickens are fenced but...

    Yellow eye infection

    He has not yet got back to me. Waiting to hear what to do next. Thank you, I was afraid she would be permanently blind. She seems to be doing ok with only 1 eye so I think if I can get rid of the infection she will be alright. She is a good momma and has a 2 month old chick she is still taking...
