    What did you do in the garden today?

    So I hardly saw ANY honeybees all summer. Like I could literally count them on one hand. For the WHOLE summer! 🙁 Yesterday I was walking around the barn area where the wireweed chokes out all the grass and everything. I've been trying to keep it mowed down because wireweed is one of the banes...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I'm like 30+ pages behind. Not going back unless someone asked me a question... 😂 Went out to the garden for the first time in 5 weeks since I broke my ribs. Did some very light weeding. Planted some garlic. I let a few bulbs go to seed this year. Looks like a few seeds sprouted! Decided to...

    Rooster Dying????

    Yes, the other side looks clear. However he doesn't want to open his eye on the side with the infection. I've looked at it and other than being white on the outside, I don't see anything abnormal. His pupil reacts when you open the lid. No drainage that I can see. I've been cleaning it regularly...

    Rooster Dying????

    So this morning I checked on my roo. His ear looked very clean and not swollen/inflamed like it did before... However his neck is still bad twisted. He keeps it on the ground. It's almost like he's totally upside down or like the proverbial ostrich with his head in the ground. That can't be good...

    Rooster Dying????

    I am back from my business trip. Checked on my poor roo. He doesn't look any better but also not any worse. His ear had packed full of solidified pus again like I'd never cleaned it. I cleaned more out of it again. Went a little faster this time as it was softer. I didn't get it all simply...

    Rooster Dying????

    That video needs a warning label... 🤮 Yeah, that's not going to be fun. In fact, I might seriously puke trying to do it. But I can't just let him suffer so I guess I'll just put some vicks vapor rub in my nose and suck it up. On the bright side, I think I have some of those scooped tools...

    Rooster Dying????

    Yep... I noticed he was tilting his head like a toddler with an ear infection but I couldn't see anything when I first put him in an outdoor quarantine pen. I realized after 3 days he was getting worse but I thought it was the wry neck/neurological issue. I had no idea he had this huge plug of...

    Rooster Dying????

    OK, I did clean a bunch of gunk out. I couldn't get it all. It did start bleeding... And you were right, he was quite distressed so I'm certain it was hurting him a lot. When I put him back in the cage, he acted dead. Not moving...eyes closed, mouth open. Poor fella. I did put some triple...

    Rooster Dying????

    Thank you again... I will try to start cleaning it with the peroxide tomorrow... He has been given 5 days of doxycycline. I ended that about 3 days ago. As for medications, I don't have a ton on hand... No Baytril. I do have Metronidazole, Amoxicillan, and Doxycycline. Would any of those...

    Rooster Dying????

    @Wyorp Rock - thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I really appreciate it... I've stopped feeding him with the eye dropper since he seems interested in eating on his own. However, I am adding electrolytes and Vitamin B Complex to his water. His feed is a mix of 16% layer pellets...

    Rooster Dying????

    Not that anyone is following this thread, but here's the latest... My roo is still alive. He does seem a little bit improved but his neck muscles are still paralyzed. I finished 5 full days of doxycycline. I gave him about 1 cc of Vitamin B Complex every day for 5 days, as well. I also...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The new stray buns (we named her Clarice) has clearly never been potty trained. She poops and pees wherever she's at... So her cage is quite nasty. I had to clean it today. Gave her a nice clean, thick bed of shavings...it'll have to do until I can get some PDZ. I kept the litter pan (pine...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Same. I noticed I had some small cabbage loopers worms and a bunch of Harlequin beetles on my kale. Downpour and overnight temps into the 50s. No pests anywhere on them now...

    Rooster Dying????

    After further reading, I'm guessing this is polyneuritis (wry neck). It's so weird though because he has access to a wide variety of food every day: Nutrena layer pellets - 22% Steam-rolled oats Premium scratch (corn, millet, sunflower seeds, flax, wheat, soybeans) BOSS Free range pasture and...

    Rooster Dying????

    I just went out to give my roo some antibiotics and he's huddled in the corner. His head is nearly turned completely around... So so weird. I don't think he's going to make it through the day, to be honest.

    Rooster Dying????

    Did your rooster ever make it? My rooster started doing this too. He twists and dips his head to the side... Almost like a toddler does when they have an ear infection? I put him in the quarantine pen yesterday. He's really very thin too which means he isn't eating. I'm very concerned about him.
