    new chick has scabby eye

    I had a few like that back in May...just moisten the eye, and what I did was slowly, gently, using my thumbs, pull the upper eyelid up and the bottom eyelid down at the same time until they opened. I had to do that several times, but it eventually worked very well. All of their eyes are perfect...

    pasty butt??

    Yes, you have to clear the area...it may already be too late! I lost a chick at a week and a half - almost 2 weeks old back in May because I knew nothing about it. I just thought she was dirty back there. By the time I found out what it was and removed it, it was too late. It is so, so serious...

    Warning!!! This is gross!

    Our dog licks the chicken poo that makes it over the outside of the 2x4's around their coop and run, and then she licks her own pile of "stuff". It is just nasty, but to her, it is a scrumptious treat!!!!!!!

    Another new coop

    Seriously-wow! That is great! The rocks all over....VERY good additional predator proofing! We do it here...even with the chicken tractor at night, yes I move them every couple days-good exercise-we line it with nice sized boulders. We'll be doing the same thing with our new coop! Great work!

    Baby Chicks in the USPS System

    Oh, this makes me sick! I feel so sorry for you and your chicks! These hatcheries have a responsibility to us and these innocent babies to ship them overnight-PERIOD!

    Hugs needed for me and my family

    Your baby didn't want you to see him pass...he wanted you to find him just the way you did-lying peacefully. My MIL found her daschund in almost the same way last year. My heart goes out to you. I know your pain. Picture him alive and bouncing around on a cloud! Dry your tears with the fur of...

    Quote: Me too!! MapleSky7, this dog wasn't a runner. He was waiting for someone to come back and get him. He will be scanned for a chip, but I'd bet big $ it comes back empty. He has a forever home now. The guy who took him will make sure he doesn't have a chip and then will make him part...

    Quote: YES!!!!!! Great idea! You could charge a nominal fee for them too. ESPECIALLY if they are mixed with Pit Bull... Another awesome idea is to go to www.bestfriends.org and email them to get put on their network list. You'll be able to reach other network members within like 100 miles or...
