    Can't fix slipped tendon; should I cull?

    I have a Narragansett turkey poult with what I think is a slipped tendon (can hardly use one leg, joint is warm/swollen, looks "flat" compared to the good leg). I attempted the stretch method to get the tendon back in place but had no luck. Is there any thing else I could try? What if I can't...

    Question for those that have fixed a slipped tendon...

    I used the advice of this website: http://sites.google.com/a/larsencreek.com/chicken-orthopedics/leg-braces to attempt to fix what i think is a slipped tendon in my two week(ish) old poult (can't put much pressure on the leg, joint is swollen and warm, looks "flat" compared to the normal leg)...

    Please help, my poults are dying FAST!

    I have Narragansett poults, approx 12 days old. They've been in a cardboard box brooder, on paper towel bedding with water and medicated chick starter crumbles. (I realize that they need a higher protein starter and it is on my list for the next feedstore trip). Today it was quite warm, so I...

    Does anyone have an AT&T 3G Microcell?

    We do not have cell coverage at our home AT&T (my wireless carrier) sent me a letter last week about AT&T 3G Microcell. For $150 I could have 5 bar coverage over a 5,000sq ft area at home (by connecting it to my DSL modem). It is awfully tempting... I could dump my landline and actually...

    Anyone dye their eyelashes?

    I am thinking about having it done. How often do you do it? Does it make a difference? Do you still wear mascara? Pros? Cons? Thanks!

    How many eggs can she cover?

    I have a broody, and I'll be giving her eggs in a day or so (once she's proven she's serious). How many eggs can my Narragansett hen cover? Thanks!

    Oh dear... please help me break my broody!

    I have a trio of Narries. The tom and one of the girls just turned a year old, the other lady will be one in July. The girls just started laying in mid-April. On one day I got two eggs, so I know they're both laying. Egg production has been terrible. I suspected an egg eater when one day...

    Is it worth it to process 8 mo old duck for freezer?

    I have an extra blue Swedish drake, he's a social misfit and doesn't have an endearing personality. I have yet to process any of my ducks (though I originally got ducks as a dual-purpose addition to our farm) because they've been too entertaining. This guy has got to go tho. Will an 8 month...

    I think my girls are egg eaters :(

    My two narrie girls just started laying maybe two weeks ago. I know they're both laying because on one (only one) day I got two eggs. In the last week I've only gotten two maybe three eggs total. I made a lean-to type nest that they finally got the hang of. Yesterday I did a welfare check...

    Foot/leg injury in 7 day old chick *update**insect bite?**

    This morning while doing a pasty butt check I found a chick in the brooder hopping on one foot. It's left foot pad is swollen, no visible injury (though my first thought was bumblefoot). Upon further inspection I found a scrape on the front of its leg. So, I suspect it was somehow injured...

    *Where* to mount CPU fan in LG 9200? And a franken-fan question....

    I have an LG 9200 (still air). I wired an 80 mm fan but now I'm not sure where the best place to mount the fan is? On the underside of the lid pointing down? On the underside of the lid pointing toward a wall? And will screws stay in the styrofoam? How much space between the styrofoam and...

    Set more eggs! Due May 12 & 19... Anyone else?

    So I set 28 Swedish duck eggs in an LG 9200. I have had the incubator for nearly 2 months now but haven't had the nerve to use it. I set it up Tuesday, let it run overnight and set the eggs yesterday. In my reliable Brinsea Eco I set 7 EE, 8 red Pyle OEGB, and 8 Narragansett turkey eggs. All...

    Have you ever had a chick dry & stick to the bottom of the bator?

    A chick hatched while I was at work and proceeded to stick to the plastic basket insert of the bator (Brinsea Eco 20). She is the second chick out (of 19 eggs), so there are about 5 pips and two others hatched. Should I leave her alone, wait till everyone has hatched to try to peel her off the...

    How compulsively do you clean your Brinsea Octogon?

    I have the Eco 20. I clean the bottom yellow part, the basket and the egg rails with hot soapy water and let dry in the sun. Then I unscrew the "ceiling" part from under the lid, wash that in hot soapy water, air/sun dry. I use a can of electronics cleaner/canned air to clean the fan and...

    Does any one use an LG strictly as a hatcher?

    Does anyone use an LG strictly as a hatcher? Does it work well for this purpose? I incubate using a Brinsea Eco 20. It is pretty small and the manufacturer recommends a separate hatcher (tho I've hatched in it many times). I'm thinking of buying an LG to use as a hatcher to keep my Eco...
