I don't think there is a generic hen saddle

Ohhh sorry, I thought you were talking about Neosporin

You’re right, pramoxine (aka pramocaine) is the pain relief ingredient in neosporin+.

For what it’s worth, the topical -caine phobia regarding chickens is largely a “better safe than sorry” kind of thing. Local surgery IS avoided with birds because the risk of lidocaine toxicity is high, but there is little to no scientific research (that I have found) done on topical analgesics being harmful enough to kill when used on small wounds.

I agree with Tess.
You don't have to worry so much about using Neosporin with pain relief stuff in it.
The amount is so small it won't hurt your bird. If you have it use it.

Thanks! That's helpful.

Have I ever showed you guys the size difference between a chicken chick and a quail chick?

What did you make today?

Today we dewormed everyone with Valbazen. There was no evidence of worms in their stools but we decided it would be best to do it now since everyone isn’t laying and we have two broodies. That way we can throw the eggs out and not be tempted to throw them under them since one is an Australorp. They’re sharing the same nest boxes and when one moves, the other comes with it!

Like I said there was no evidence but we haven’t done it yet with our birds so I wanted to just go ahead and treat whatever may be there. In 10 days we’ll do another dose for everyone.

@Tesumph - you lucky little lady! Looks like you got the good vibes coming. First egg from the Easter Eggers! Looks quite blue. In the sun, it is more green. @Texas Kiki yellow boy was clucking like mad. Different voice. Was fluffing the nest this morning.

Woop woop! Congratulations! You should blow that out and save it, that’s a very pretty first egg.

But good vibes? Nope, apparently I gave them all to you. Today SUCKED, with a capital f-u. Ah well. House passed inspection and classes are paid for.
Deep breaths.

My barn is so warm, jeesh.
The power of one heat lamp is ridiculous.
