    Fly Strike

    She has been back with the flock for a while. Unfortunately, unexpected things happen and we had to go get my mom and bring her to stay by us for a while so I had to rush things a bit more than I wanted. I am disappointed in how her wound will look once fully healed, probably a scar, but it is...

    Fly Strike

    I looked that up and I think you are correct. Thanks, I’ve always wondered since it coincided with the time MG and MD hit us. When can I put her outside again? She can free range with the flock during the day and come inside for the night. I can keep a close watch on her wound. It is not...

    Fly Strike

    Thank you! She is so lovely and graceful to watch. Docile though not overly friendly. I’ve never seen her quarrel with any other chicken. She is just the sweetest. And she is naturally Mareks resistant having ridden out the infection and still hanging on. I’d love to get more Braekel hens. I...

    Fly Strike

    Here are pictures of the wound. The blu kote makes it look worse than it is in my opinion. The wound is roughly the size of a quarter or just over. I tried to get one of the depth but the blu kote really messes with the looks. Outside of keeping it moist, what should I be doing to facilitate...

    Fly Strike

    @Wyorp Rock I am taking her out to bath her now and see about removing some of the blu kote with coconut oil and getting some pictures. I did not take pics originally because the wound looked like it would heal up ok. It’s the not eating and feather pulling that concerns me. I was in the...

    Fly Strike

    I have a 5 yr old hen who had fly strike. I cleaned and bathed her Saturday evening removing everything. Her wound was not necrotic that I could tell. Her next 4 Epsom salt soaks (over 24 hr time period) were clear of any worms. I used vetricyn, permethrin spray and blu kote after the last clear...

    Hen started crowing

    Interesting. She is still top hen and has not crowed again in quite some time now. I wonder if you are on to something. She has kept the peace dealing with the addition of 4 new pullets and 3 broody hens acting hormonal. Knock on wood the peace keeps up🤞🏻🤞🏻

    Hen started crowing

    We had a Buff Orpington named Buffy 💜 she was sweet as can be too. Our other Buff Orpington and lavender Orpington's, not so much. lol Our girls will also chase for the treat even though there is plenty more sometimes. Makes no sense, but neither does pecking order when my girls are so damn...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    Morning. I’m off to get ready for my massage and hubs is finally coming home after 3+ weeks gone. He will only be home for 26ish hours before leaving again 😔 And unfortunately part of our time together will be spent bringing me to the dentist for a tooth pull/implant post tomorrow morning. At...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    @BigBlueHen53 Fluffy was a porcelain d’uccle. She would run up to me and squat in my hand to be picked up. I’m not sure I will ever have another one like her. I offered for my good friend to pick up eggs one weekend we were gone and I watched her son mishandle fluffy repeatedly. She died from...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    Fluffernutter was inside mostly also. She had a cage set up for when we could not watch her. She followed me all around and would call for me when I was not in sight. She would kick the mastiff off her dog bed and try to dustbathe on it. I loved that girl with all my heart. I am still missing...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    I am willing to try anything! lol My normal masseuse is too far to see regularly since I’m not driving much and hubs travel season is in full swing. I came across this new, more local, therapist while DS and I were walking around waiting for the bus. Worth a shot 🤷🏼‍♀️ If you are looking for...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    Morning. I have an extremely anxious dog. He is on gabapentin and tramadol for pain(10.5 yrs old now with lots of arthritis) and I wish I had him on something like this his whole life. I wonder if it would have been easier on him. He’s not anxiety free by all means, still a neurotic mess. But I...

    How did the gabapentin work?

    Granny's gone and done it again

    So I thought I’d share here because my therapist says I don’t acknowledge the progress or good stuff enough. I know some of you will get this:) Today I drove to and from hockey with no incident. It’s the longest I’ve driven since last November! Inside the rink was a little rocky but made I it...
