Just updating again in case it helps someone. I put him back in the coop a few days after I returned. He seemed a little wobbly on his legs for about another week or so. I continued to alternate poly-vi-sol and colloidal silver in the water and he is completely fine now. He is back to normal! I...

Here's the good news update!!! I had to leave town from Friday morning to Saturday night and debated on either leaving him in the house or leaving him outside in our "grow out" pen. I was hesitant on outside because the temps were going to dip but finally decided that he would be better off...

I guess that is always possible... Here's the good news update!!! I had to leave town from Friday morning to Saturday night and debated on either leaving him in the house or leaving him outside in our "grow out" pen. I was hesitant on outside because the temps were going to dip but finally...

Hello & Welcome! I actually haven't been on here in quite a while but just happened to see your post - here's what we do! Hang the sticky fly trap paper things on the outside of the pen - don't want it to fall down and have the ducks get to it Hang vanilla car fresheners - also on the...

Hey Arizona Friends! I have not been on here in a really loooong time! But, I am hoping you guys can help me out as I have not received any feedback as of yet in the "emergency/disease" forum. Here is the link to the story of my beautiful blue cochin roo "Monsoon", along with a video...

Update on today... Still can't stand at all or walk and if he tries to move, he pushes forward and almost does somersaults, but I think I am seeing some improvement! He likes to move forward when he poops (still solid as of yesterday) and that's what messes him all up, but after a few tries...

Have not been on here in a looooong time - life just got too busy. Everything has been great until just in the past month... posted this on the disease forum but wanted to see if you any of you had any thoughts on this as I obviously prefer to do things as natural as possible... Video included...

So, the day before yesterday, when I went out to feed, I noticed my beautiful big blue cochin "Monsoon" sitting and then when he tried to stand, he couldn't walk a straight line - like drunk. He could get to where he wanted to but not without zigzagging or falling. The past couple days I have...

Good idea Amiga - thanks!

So I went out this morning, half expecting to see Ping in a worse state or dead, but surprisingly she is doing much better! Without knowing what was going on, I made the decision 2 days ago to put 10ppm Colloidal Silver in all their water dishes. Some dishes had 1 T. per gallon, but most water...

Hmmm... just looked up some more info and found: In Waterfowl: Clostridium botulinum producing botulinum toxin Type C, a neuroparalytic agent is the usual cause of botulism - I am thinking that is very possible as you mentioned Amiga... They can get it from maggots - we have had a lot of flies...

Well, it looks like my Jumbo Pekin, Ping, is now showing symptoms. While the other 2 were several weeks apart, she is showing symptoms soon after I just lost my special pet. She is not being very vocal, laying down more than usual, ruffled her neck feathers a bit and sometimes "yawns" or "gags"...

Approximately 4 weeks ago, when I went out to feed, one of our runners was acting strange. He seemed a bit lethargic and wasn't at all interested in the greens I was giving to the rest of the flock. My ducks all love greens and will usually "attack" me for them. He didn't seem interested at all...

I have ducks and have had multiple ages of chickens as well (including some silkies and roosters). I have always fed all of them a grower feed. I've never used a layer feed at all. I just supply oyster shell free-choice in a little bowl. They know when and how much calcium they need. When I have...

Thanks!!!

Hey everyone! It's been FOREVER since I've had time to get on here - life is soooo busy! I will have to catch up on reading later. Still enjoying all my chickens and ducks and selling a lot of eggs which is almost covering all my feed costs - YAY! So, I need some math help!! I am terrible at...

Thanks to Justine, I now get mine here - much cheaper than from my local health food store little jars... and we go through a lot so it's nice to get it organic in bulk! http://www.vitacost.com/vitacost-extra-virgin-certified-organic-coconut-oil-54-fl-oz-14

Thought this might interest some of you - regarding bees and pesticides, etc. Down toward the bottom of the article, it gives information on how these treated plants, etc. are affecting birds and laying...

X2 - I think they are wonderfully made! Here's a few of my girls wearing some of her saddles... It seems my girls get their wings messed up more than their backs, so I get the ones with wing guards more often now. In this photo, they are miffed at me for not letting them out until I took a pic.
