Blue Kote actually does an excellent job of covering that type of wound, plus it deadens the pain. You don't want anything that is going to stay wet.
I have seen wounds like that cover over in a few days if taken care of properly.
Do you have blue kote spray? I have used it with good results on chickens, keep her /it warm and dry and try to get the bleeding stopped. If it makes the night you have a good chance of it pulling through. It will be in shock for a few days and you may have to force feed and water. Good luck
I'm sorry I have to get back to you this way, but for some reason i can not do PM's. Yes, he is a lavender, very nice. Some of my hens are lavender and lavender laces from a Orp. His dad is most likley Marans.
Hi, sorry I have to get back to you this way, but I can't seem to reply to PMs. I have no problems shipping to Alaska, but we have had super cold weather and my girls are not laying well right now. If you would like some later, maybe a few weeks, please contact me by email, [email protected]...
Sorry I have to get back to you this way, I can't get the PM to work. It's been too cold here and I'm not getting enough eggs to send in a timely manner. If you want to contact me please email me at [email protected]
BLaBauve, I'm having problems with this site, and cannot reply to PM's. I do have eggs that could go out Monday. Could you send me an e-mail to [email protected].
Thanks, Bonnie
I do not get messaged when people post on the thread, please send me a PM to buy eggs.
I'm getting very nice colored eggs right now, dark brown, blue, olive and green.
Please PM to buy, Thanks.
Depending on what breed they are, pullets hatched this past spring should lay all winter as long as they have good food and thawed water. Extra light also helps, but I have never needed it for 1st year layers.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas.
I did the NYD hatch last year, I hatched out about 100 chicks, I sold most of them. But not doing it this year. My coop is not warm enough for baby chicks and having a bunch of chickens in my basement till April/May was not my idea of fun.
It did get warm enough here today to open my pop doors...
My girls have been getting some treats the last few days also. I boiled up some old deer meat, a dozen of older eggs, some oatmeal, and mixed in a little left over calf milk replacer. I heat it up a little and take it out to them about an hour before the lights go out.
I don't heat my coop, but...
I did go a head and open the pop doors today. There was no wind and we even had a little sun, I did see a few of the girls out for a bit, but my coop is big enough that I can keep them locked up for several days without them feeling cramped. Tommorow and Fri I'm not going to open the coop, I...
Hope everyone is staying safe and warm during this winter storm. I stayed home from work today, got up at my normal 4am let the dog and saw the 2' drift around the front of the house and thought to heck with that and went beck to bed. I don't think I'll be opening the coop for the rest of the...
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I have 4 days off work and am enjoying the beautiful weather on this long weekend. It is sure going to be hard to get up and go back to work Mon morning.
I got about 6" of snow over Turs. night/Fri morning, and have locked every one up early the last few days. Some of the girls were not to happy about it, and had to chase them in and shut the door on them. I feed ablout 5 when I get home from work and then go back out about dark to shut the...
I would say you've got young coons after your flock, it normally takes about a year for the wild animals to find out you have easy prey for them. Make sure you get your flock locked up before total dark.
Dogs, especialy Jack Russells would have ripped the birds up, a young coon just learning to...
I think a lot of the problems are when there is only one rooster. I have several and none are nasty, but then I breed for temperment and would cull any one of them at the first sign of human agression. I just will not put up with a nasty rooster. I never let them mount a hen near me, and I never...
