    I also noticed that my chicken didn't do as well on the normal vit B complex. It wasn't until I got the Super B Complex that I saw a difference in her. She still gets it, however, I have started cutting her back. I add it every other day now, same dose tho. She is the same at this point. So...

    I went ahead and saved all the links. I plan on reading them at the end of the week, maybe early next week. My mom is here for a visit, is blind and double amputee from diabetes, So I won't have much time to be on the computer this week. On top of trying to get the last of the garden produce...

    I am glad you have had time to think things through. I had a feeling you would do what was best for you and for your flock. If there is ever anything I can do to help, please just ask. Shes still the same. I haven't noticed any change in her, unless she doesn't get her vit b. I have got...

    That's our plan. But hubby might be gone working. He leaves out of state for several weeks a couple times a year. Not sure if he will be back in time. And to be honest, I'm just not sure I can do the kill. The cut, probably not ever. I may be able to shoot. I've read of a couple of people...

    I am so sorry to hear you are having so much going on right now. My wish for you for today, a peaceful day. No worries. Just let it all go for the day. As far as the meaties go, yes I could probably make a few last that long. These birds came from Meyers. I did have one bird that I took...

    Let me know what the phone calls produce. I've got some ideas, but really need to see if they make sense. lol. Yea that doesn't make sense, but its early and my thoughts are scattered atm lmao Kind of thinking their metabolism runs so fast, that it out run the results of the tumors. One...

    Were these the meat roosters with the lima bean growths? Just wondering if because their metabolism is so fast that it pushed the disease as hard as their body pushed to grow. I'm not sure I'm explaining my thought right. Meaties metabolism is so different from a regular chicken, it seems...

    I am so very sorry to hear this. It seems that you did the right thing for your chicken. I am very glad Purdue is doing the testing for you, please let us know how it turns out. Very smart to keep no birds in or out until you find out. Deb

    Well I went to several pharmacy's today to get the charcoal. NO one had any. They thought I was crazy, if I needed charcoal for poisoning, I needed to go to the ER. Well this one man heard what I was asking for, came over to me and asked me how I knew about charcoal. So I told him about my...

    I never thought about the mushrooms. We have them all over by the compost and along the one fence line under the trees. Guess I'm going mushroom hunting today as well. In fact they also grow in my garden. I plant my potatoes on top of the soil, then just cover with straw unitl a good 2' +...

    No we have not culled her. Every time we talk about it, she does better. We finished taking the old shed down today. Took us long enough. I found 4 bottles of pesticide in there and all the bottles had fluid in them. She first stopped walking when we opened up the shed, next morning she...

    Well 5 have hatched so far. We have decided to leave them with mom. My dh reminded me that we put the compost from the neighbor all over our yard. And there isn't really any place that we could keep them that the other chickens haven't been. And it airborne, so they will stay with mom, and...
