Yes, I have been massaging as well as soaking. Nothing is coming out with that not even poop. It seems very painful for her when I do the massage. Now she just lays and pants, I feel so bad for her suffering.

Now that's weird!! Anyone have any idea how this happens?

It is!! Ewwe!!!!!!

Pop quiz! Found this little nugget on my droppings board this morning! Did someone pass their ovary?! Lol what the heck is this?

Hi. Well soaking her doesn't seem to be giving her any relief so far. Will keep at it, but she's looking more and more uncomfortable.:(

Does this hen look egg bound? I just washed her off. There was a little bit of yellow/bright green discharge. She is standing with her legs far apart. She's been like this since yesterday. It's very squishy, can't feel an egg. About to soak her. Any suggestions?

Well, I was wondering how long I should let this hen sit on these eggs that were due to hatch yesterday... Another few days I guess? I haven't candled them since 2.5 weeks, didn't want to disturb them.

Their EE's are great layers and pretty birds, but mine have no muffs and one lays a pink egg and the other green. So don't count on blues from them. But very healthy and pretty markings.

Anyone doing broilers this spring?

I would think too much of it would, yes. But one clove per gallon doesn't seem like too much, actually that garlic capsule I was talking about might just do that. Hmm. Also citrus is supposed to cease laying so don't feed it anyway. I've offered them onions of all kinds and they won't touch...

I've read there's good immune and parasite repellent benefits from adding a clove of garlic to each gallon of water. The Mennonites swear by this. I plan to grow a bunch for this specific reason... Meanwhile I was wondering if a garlic capsule supplement would do the trick. Anyone tried this?

Just bought some at Walmart in Murfreesboro. They only had two bottles so you just have to watch for it. Ask someone what day they stock and go then. This one stocks on Monday nights or Tuesdays... I used to know for sure. Also maybe trader joes?

As predicted, my flock has doubled this year from last. Total addict. Taking a survey to find out at what age do you find it safe to integrate youngsters into the main flock? Thanks! Also, my lovely husband spent memorial day helping me fence a yard for them to free range. They are soooo happy...

Aren't they? My daughter Skylar, who is two, got to watch a jubliee hatch when we were there last. Fun!

I have a +/- 10 week old birchen marans cockerel for sale if anybody's interested. High quality bird bred by Doug Austin.

The jubilees on Craig's list in Laverne are Doug Austin's. I just saw them two weeks ago and they are gorgeous. Doug is fabulous to work with and his birds (and chicks) are healthy and well cared for.

Cinny I'm so glad dr hatcher worked out for you and sorry the hen didn't make it. :( been there. I had a silimar incedence with a silkie hen I had.. I LOVED that chicken and just became enamoured with their gentle, kid friendly disposition. When she died after a week of hand feeding, meds, etc...

Cinny, Dr Hatcher in Chapel Hill is a true poultry vet who raises chickens commercially and who's father was a state veterinarian. She knows her stuff. Dr Jennifer Hatcher 6l5 368 7873

I have a rumpless arucana that just started laying. Today she laid her third egg. Yesterday's and today's egg had blood on them. Today more than yesterday. Should I be concerned? This girl has a history of "poopy butt" that I have to maintain by giving her a bath and clipping her vent feathers...

Only if you take WYATT too!!
