    Eastern Tennessee Thread

    I hope I am not intruding or posting in the wrong spot. I don't post often. We have a Black Copper Maran Rooster that we need to re-home. Oreo was born on May 6th, hatched from an egg from the Garry Farm, http://thegarryfarm.yolasite.com/, by one of our broodies. Unfortunately, we also had...

    Does it ever feel like work?

    Sometimes it feels like work. It's cold out but the water still needs changing, the run needs a bit of raking, the girls want to get out of the run for a bit and free range and I have to put on hat, gloves and three layers of clothes. Then I gather the eggs, see them happily digging for...

    How did your username originate?

    It's pretty simple really. My wife is the brains behind this outfit but, if anyone tells her I said that I will plead temporary insanity. Haul n Fetch is what I do best. The wife points, I haul it or fetch it.

    Strangest and Silliest Chicken Names?

    This is Tufus. She was born with a crossed-beak and only one eye. We looked at her and either my wife or I said Lord ! This chicken is Too Ugly For US". Thus, Tufus. She is 2 1/2 years old now and the sweetest, friendliest chicken you could ever want. And a great layer too ! Oh. She...

    Vet Costs

    Goodness gracious. That is expensive. Mine charges around $25.00 for an office visit. We had a sick hen in about 4 weeks ago. They charged another $22.00 for a thorough examination. Drugs were a bit expensive, $40.00 for an antibiotic, a steroid and a drug for digestive system motility...

    Blu-kote?????

    After reading the information below, Blu-Kote sounds pretty safe to me unless you intend to drink it or take a daily bath in it. From Wikipedia One study in mice demonstrated dose-related carcinogenic potential at several different organ sites.[25][26] The Food and Drug Administration in the...

    *Update in OP* My Chick's neck folds backwards (Video)

    I wouldn't worry overly much about an over dose. I had a conversation with our vet about vitamins. Thiamine is a water soluble and, as such, is excreted in the urine or urates in the case of a chicken. The body can only use so much at a time and will get rid of what it does not need. Over...

    Was I massaging the gizzard instead of the crop???????????????????????

    It's possible I suppose though I think the gizzard is a bit hard to feel. Here is a link to photos and other information about the digestive system. Maybe this will help? If nothing else, its interesting reading...

    Recurring Crop Issues-Dark Liquid Discharge

    I am not sure if this will help you. We have a Speckled Sussex, Thelma, that also seemed to have repeated crop problems. The first time is was clearly sour crop. The odor was unmistakable. The liquid that came out was green to very dark green and lots of it ! She was treated with an...

    Eastern Tennessee Thread

    I just stumbled across this thread and am real happy to join in. I and my wife are in Strawberry Plains. I thought I would pass on the name of a vet in this area who will actually see chickens. She has saved a couple of our beauties that I was sure were goners. Dr. Laurel Johnson Town &...

    A propensity for sour crop?

    We have a Speckled sussex just like that. Curing was not such as problem but, its recurrence was getting old. Our vet prescribed Reglan syrup (Metoclopramide). Its used to improve motility in the digestive tract. We give an eye droppers full twice a day. It's not terribly expensive. We've...

    Speckeld Sussex Egg Pics?

    The lighter colored eggs are from our Speckled Sussex, the darker from Buff Orpingtons. The Speckled's are usually a little smaller but, would still considered large I think.

    Anyone familiar with DENAGARD ??

    Gram negative or gram positive simply refers to whether the bacteria will stain purple with a crystal violet stain. It has to do with the make-up of their cell wall. Gram negative bacteria are more commonly found in the intestinal tract. If you are figting an infection, the only way to know...

    Pendulous Crop? Surgery??

    I don't know exactly what is wrong with your girl exactly, but we just went through this with one of our. Thelma was running around and eating also until one morning, we noticed that she was lethargic and not running everywhere like she normally does. We feared an impacted crop also and did...

    Broody to Skinny

    We have 10 BOs which seem to take turns being broody. Left to their own devices, I don't think they would leave the nest box either to eat or drink. You don't describe your coop / run or if you free range at all. We typically will let ours out to roam for a few hours in the evening. If we...
