Hi,
Coyote took out most the herd yesterday. But I still have 3. 1 is a big broody girl. So my plan is to put fertilized eggs under her.
So it's okay to hatch the chicks in the same coop with the other 2 adults or do I need to move the broody girl to a different coop?
Also, until the eggs...
I use a bucket feeder. I don't like the wild birds messing with it and I assume animals use it at night. I think I have to refill it too often because of that.
Is this grampa thing the way?
Why won't diatomaceous earth kill the magots? Should I wash it all out?
Won't vasoline or something smother the maggots? They kinda down in some places that are hard to get to. Would like to kill them.
Appreciate the help.
Won't the DE kill the maggots and dry things up? I didn't see neosporn at the farm store. And it was a big wound i wanted to spray stuff in, I should have got some.
Picked out a ton, as many as I could until she couldn't take it. She threw up.
Sprayed with that stuff and put DE on it.
Next issue is the injury. Bones are showing.
Should I euthanize her?
