While prepping a bird for show Wednesday I may have gotten vetRx in her eye because by the time I got her to show site that evening her eye was red, kinda watery, irritated looking and she was kind of "winky" with it. I am sure it wasn't like that before, but may have got a scratch with pine...
Hi all. Found what I would call a hernia yesterday on my BO roo. It is a bulging spot just belo and to the right of his vent. It is soft and squishy. You can depress it in and it just kind of slowly fills back up and pokes back out. Doesn't seem to be tender or both him. The skin around it...

Ok I have a chick that is about 1.5 weeks old. It was born with curled toes and somewhat splayed legs, not completely straddled though as some pictures show, but the left was worse thatn the right. So I did the banaids on the legs for the splay legs and taped his feet and made him "snowshoes"...

I am planning to get a banty breed (hopefully soon). I am considering the bantam faverolle. They are absolutely gorgeous and by what I've read have great personalities. I would be interested in a show quality so that my kids can help with them. My oldest is 8 and does a great job but my trio...
Well me and my BO pullet both had blond moments. I was moving my coop/tractor with the lawn mower. Well she decided not to move along with it as she has before and maybe I shoulda known better but luckily hubby was behind it and hollered for me to stop because her leg was stuck up under it and...
