Oh, I forgot, I have also put the uterus back in a ewe one morning. She had triplet ewes and threw her uterus completely out!.
Our vet told me what antibiotics to use and she lived! We sold her and her ewe lambs when they were 3 months old (for meat).
I have also set a broken leg on a lamb...
I would be brave enough to experiment with caponizing! Goodness the things we will have to try when I get back up north.
(I have already done crop surgery, patched up dog wounds and on the farm I castrated calves, pigs, lambs and kids.)
Noah is just adorable!
I have two grandbabies coming in november, both momas are hoping for girls........
I have 10 grandchildren - 8 boys and 2 girls.
Suddenly I feel old........... :)
I actually put an apology on the thread - concerning my use of the word rooster :) Fred is out of town now so I sent him an apology. I hate what has happened to his thread. I know I am not really the reason for the uproar. ........
Check the thermometer to make sure is still accurate. That was the big problem I was having with mine.
This spring I have been having a terrible hatch percentage. When I realized that my rooster had one 4+ inch spur, I had a suspicion that was the problem.
My son and I removed the spur...
I had a cat get three of my best blue egg layers. Why is it they always get the ones you want to keep most?
Any way, I trapped him. His chicken eating days are over...
My cream legbars started hatching yesterday. Out of 6 eggs 4 of them made it to lock down. One was out yesterday morning. One out this morning. One nearly out this evening. One peeping but no pip. I don't think this one will make it.
So I have one pullet and one cockerel. Hoping the third one...
Bee, your new incubating plan follows how I do mine. I cannot do eggtopsies they upset me too much.
Congratulations on the newly hatched chicks and the new rooster!!!!!!!!!!
God does not force anyone to realize he is in their life situations. Only people who allow God to be a part of their life feel his presence in all of their daily activities.
