Thank you. There's something about a good quality Barred Plymouth Rock that really is pleasing to the eye.

Snapped a pic of Atlas's 8 yr old daughters, Zara and Athena, with Hector's last original hen, Jill, and daughter Maddie. They are so pretty, want more BRs when my numbers are low enough to handle new birds. Laying next to the screen door is Athena, acting her entire 8 years. In front of her is...

That's one way to put it! Life for all of us has been quite "interesting" in the past few years, hasn't it? Good attitude is something to hang onto!

Cheryl, family drama is something I don't miss. No one calls or comes to visit other than my two sons if they can get away, which is rarely. In a way, my husband prefers it that way-he had enough family drama growing up and bad experiences being shunned by family that he's over it. I hope you...

I bet you feel a bit steamrolled. Feel better fast, Cheryl.

I am aware that cigarettes are not the same animal today that they were 100 years ago because of the chemicals in them. And I also know that tobacco has many medicinal uses, especially topically or even in nest boxes to be a bug deterrent. Today's manufacturers have adulterated literally...

Haha, wasn't sure which ailing animal you meant! I don't believe my human husband is contagious, not sure what it would do at this point. We have the paste ivermectin, guess he could take it in peanut butter to offset the taste. Bash is my barn husband, LOL.

You mean to treat Bash's ears? No, I haven't. They were wormed a few months back with Valbazen, I think, then Ivermectin pour on because they weren't dustbathing much. Interesting about the nicotine, never heard much beyond it's addictive qualities.

I get what you're saying, but I don't want nicotine in my body for any reason, no more than most prescription drugs. I'll tell Tom about it, but I can almost guarantee his answer.

I heard that early on, but never believed it. Makes no logical sense that someone with compromised lungs would better manage a respiratory virus. I remain skeptical. I mean, we've been lied to so much under the guise of helping when they really wanted us "useless eaters" and independent thinkers...

That's a new one on me, nicotine patch for lingering cough? Never heard that one, Julie. Nope, he hasn't tried that, but I'm sure he would never do it. It's too reminiscent of his smoker family who mostly died or have serious health issues due to smoking they never got under control. He does...

At least I don't have long Covid like my poor husband. He's not getting completely back to normal yet after two entire months.

All the chickens are still alive so far. Bash still has ear issues, treated again yesterday after he was scratching and shaking his head, but so do I after being sick briefly in December. My ears still feel underwater part of the day in spite of treating to dry them out using drops and...

They all survived, even Mina. Then, we got spring weather, then more normal for this time of year. For the first time in 19 years of keeping chickens, a rat has tunneled into the barn. And this barn is surrounded by a concrete gutter that dips low for water drainage away from the building, if...

I may lose an elderly bird or two in this weather. Screenshots how several nights of single digits in this next week, not at all normal for us here. Mina is still with me, seizing every day violently, but she snaps out of it and can get around and eat/drink on her own. She is walking on her...

Oh, I'm not at all, been living with this for decades. We've been married 48 years and he's been in pain for most of that time. He knows and often says that this condition interferes with our lives and of course, it does. It's just the reality of it. It often puts more on me and I'm capable, but...

Thank you, Cheryl. I have Ivermectin and HCQ here, took the latter and the supplements like mega Vit D and a few others. I don't think it's Covid, though I did start the Covid protocol I have put aside in a special box, all the specific things that purport to knock it out. Apparently, this...

Funny thing is I've never had Covid. My theory is because I've never had a flu shot or any other vaccine recommend, real or fake. I feel, as some have said, that those "vaccines" set you up to catch those viruses. It's been proven with the Covid jab that it makes a person many times more likely...

We treated his ears for awhile, then we got waylayed by illness. My husband caught something at a family dinner, but I didn't. Still, I brought the germs home with me in a neat package called my husband, and five days later after living with him being horribly ill, for the first time in over two...

https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/rooster-w-ear-infection-what-to-do-brahma-rooster-7-1-2-yrs-old.1606642/ Need some help. Thread about Bash having infected ears, one plugged completely, hard, can't remove it easily.
