If it were my flock, the offenders would be in a soup pot. I had to do that with two of my Roos, Oreo and Bigfoot. Baby Roo has stepped right into the lead and blossomed. I also hated to do it but this is livestock after all.

Looked out the window today and Oreo and Big Foot were covered in blood. Oreo came with my Americaunas, Big Foot is a Wyandot. They have been together for close to a year with no problems? Oreo was exhausted and let me pick him up, that never happens, so I put him in a small pen I have and put...

11squawkers- I couldn't agree more. The monistat worked for my Stephanie, I also know she would have been gone without this information. Anytime I have any issue with my flock this is the first and ONLY place I look. A wonderful group of bird loving folks!:D

Time to ramble about my growing flock. Managed to hatch one of my own this year, I think a cross between my RSL and Americauna and ,of course, I believe it's a roo. Naturally. I bought 12 babies from the local feed store three weeks ago ISA browns, nice birds so far, calm, getting used to the...

You are so welcome! hen saddle? Wow, might have to look at that my roo sure is tearing my girls up!

My pleasure, I know I love my birds and was scared, worried, and distressed when I found this with my Stephanie. The people on this site are amazing, have helped me through quite a bit. I had to vomit mine three or four times until the squish was gone. Nasty, awful smelling stuff. Yuck. I'll...

Yes I do especially since it is her first dose. Have you had to vomit her at all? Is she eating? Or drinking.? Keeping fingers and toes crossed that she makes a remarkable recovery as my girl did. Sue

I cut the waxy suppositories into thirds, fed her one piece in am and one in pm till all three whole suppositories were gone. I also brought her in the house and fed her scrambled eggs, yogurt, and plenty of fresh water. She was much better in one day, didn't need to vomit her anymore and after...

I have a large male Akita that takes care of the birds, and us. Very protective, he has never once offered to chase his flock though. Sorry for your your loss. We have seen coyote very close to the house out here in the country, and they could be in the yard at night. Skunks, dear lord...

Alright to my favorite people on the planet! Stephanie has sour crop. She is one of my "yellow girls (red sex link), and best layers. I was in denial yesterday, even though I vomited her and knew from reading on this thread what it was. So on the way home got the monistat and have given her...

I love it! I thought I was the only one that did this! I have a RSL, Martha, that begs for that treatment. She makes the cutest little cooing noises inside my coat. I love my girls!

I really have to say I am completely amazed at my little flock. I am in northwest Ohio, although it certainly has felt more like the North pole this year! We have had several six day stretches of below zero temps with wind chills as low as forty below. Unreal. My flock of 33 is just fine :P...

Beautiful! From the beginning of this saga and seeing Rhoda's poor bum, I did not think it would turn out this well! Yay yay:D! Chickens are more durable than I ever thought and also have more personality than I ever knew. Cold? Yes! Our first frost last night and now I'm worrying that they...

Yay, good for you and Rhoda. I was thinking about you two today! You did a great thing! I'm glad it turned out this way. Thanks for letting us know how she is. Take care-

Hello, that is correct. The food stamp program was running a normal "test" and in so doing crashed the system. It is working again. WIC will return when the government is open again. I was thinking about trading eggs for vet service today! Somehow my Akita has a urinary tract infection...

It really is an odd feeling, not great, to cull the animals that one has raised and nurtured. Although being in touch with the animal and being as kind as is possible makes me feel so much differently about my food. I don't believe I will ever be very fond of this necessary duty, but I know...
