    Rooster Attack!

    I had an abused Phoenix rooster, he was severly picked on at his previous coop. He was really timid and scared then realized he was the one and only, then became obnoxious. I whacked him a couple times, isolated him etc. Finally I went and bought a large spray bottle, filled it with water, set...

    The Expecting Chick Momma Thread

    My 10 are expects today. We are super excited. We have 10 week old chicks in our brooder in the garage now. But our newbies will have to be seperated until I feed through my bag of medicated. My new chicks were vaccinated for cocci, my week olds were not. I'm actually a littler bummed about the...

    Dog attack

    Here's a link that provides all the info. You can't use it on animals intended for consumption similar to Bute in horses. http://www.drugs.com/vet/blue-lotion.html I've read some interesting on wet to dry packs with saline solution. Maybe try something similar.

    Dog attack

    Try blu lotion. It's the same thing. That's strange it's just an antiseptic treatment that doubles as a protectant. I've never seen a powder form.

    The Expecting Chick Momma Thread

    I picked up 21 chicks on Friday. I kept 5 EEs, 4 cherry Eggers and a turkey out the lot. I traded the other 10(maran and EEs) for 6 two month old maran pullets. I have two 3 month olds who lost their other 5 buddies. So I thought it would be nice for them and I love my cuckoo Marans. I also...

    How Long For Medicated feed

    I tried the un-medicated approach, we had a cocci outbreak a few months ago. By the time I caught it I lost 3. I dosed everyone's water with corid and everyone else pulled through. However my chicks were about 6 weeks old... They were hatched by a friend and she held on to them for me. She does...

    my dog just killed all of my chickens

    I sadly can relate. The first time she killed a rooster who was wickedly mean and he was attacking me. My dog is a Siberian Husky, predator is her nature. I have a huge fenced yard for her and then the chicks have acres to free range on. This past Easter, my malicious neighbors opened the gate...

    Dog attack

    It's been a rough ride. I hope we're on the right track to recovery. She eats and drinks. Her favorite food currently is kefir milk, I make at home. I worry about her gaping wound and it closing up. My biggest concern is how she'll be post recovery.

    Dog attack

    I use blue kote on my horses all the time. Now my one surviving hen, dog attach, is covered in it. She has attempted to clean herself, there fore eating it, and still alive. Blue kote is merely an antiseptic coating. You can get one with a brush application or spray can. The brush is great for...

    Cuckoo marans

    I had 3 cuckoo Marans, only one survived a dog attach. She's pretty chewed up but on her way to recovering. I have 6 new pullets now. My Marans have always been very eccentric compared to other breeds and one of my favorites. This is wheezy who survived the attach.
