    Coyote attack - stitches needed for pullet?

    Thanks for the quick reply! I put a large goop of neosporin over the area with gauze and then vet wrap around her body to hold it in place. I was just trying to read the past posts and I saw one that said NOT to wrap it because it cuts off air to the wound. Now I don't know if I've covered...

    Coyote attack - stitches needed for pullet?

    Hello all, Yesterday morning we found a coyote in our backyard trying to attack our flock. After running him off we discovered that he had bitten our bantam cockerel (who had been doing his best to defend the girls). After checking out the cockerel, we discovered that he had a smallish...

    How many chickens do we all have? 60,083 and counting.

    We have 10 total (a mix of types) so: 14,724 + 10 = 14, 734

    Worms - first experience - what to do? -UPDATE WITH PIC (gross)

    I went ahead and PM'd ThreeHorses. I hope she doesn't mind. I cleaned up the poo from earlier so I don't have any sample to take in right now. But once I find some, I'll call our vet and see if I can bring it in. Thanks again Kittymomma.

    Worms - first experience - what to do? -UPDATE WITH PIC (gross)

    No, I haven't tried to PM her. I'm not sure how to do it. Do you think she would mind? I hate to be pushy. I'll have to call and see if my vet (doggie/kitty type) would do it for us. If so, we'll take a sample over. Thanks for the idea!

    Worms - first experience - what to do? -UPDATE WITH PIC (gross)

    Thanks Kittymomma for the link. I actually studied it a lot yesterday in trying to find out what to do. From all my reading, I think it is tapeworm, but I'd sure like someone to be able to verify. I've never wormed our birds before (they're 7 months to 4 months old). But, they've gotten DE...

    Worms - first experience - what to do? -UPDATE WITH PIC (gross)

    Update: After posting yesterday, I read a lot on the site and thought this was tapeworm. I went and got the Safeguard Dewormer for Goats (Fenbendazole) and mixed it per ThreeHorses' dosage and mixed with 2# of chicken feed. They ate it last night and finished it this morning. I wanted to...

    Pics of our little flock...

    Thanks, she's also a very sweet girl. She was one of four that we picked at random at the feed store. Popcorn (roo) was SUPPOSED to be a female as well, lol! Luckily, so far, he's been very docile as the little bantam roo rules the roost. You're right, EE's are fun! You never know what...

    Coke or Pepsi

    Diet Dr. Pepper or Diet Pepsi for me. Our chickens drink the hard stuff......water, straight up! Sometimes on the rocks, when the temps outside go over 100 degrees.
