Yep, nobody never did nothin... :gig

That nobody person also dumped the water this morning :hmm :idunno lol!! :gig

I was going to move them outside but looking at feathers I'm not sure I want to do that yet... They're getting big, but I don't want them to get a chill, though it's warmer outside than inside so I'm still debating.
 
Well... glad i didnt put the littles outside just yet. It's been raining on an off for the past two days! it's starting to get soggy around here again. Was hunting for where the girls are hiding their eggs last night in the tall grass and the mosquitoes went wild! ilook like i have chicken pox or hives all over!!
I'm a little worried about Pepper. her comb and wattles are pale in color, unless we pick her up, then they look red again. She's quite dirty around her vent and we tried cleaning her up a bit but, still looks bad, didn't see any mites, or lice on her back or vent. I'm wondering if she has worms? So i tried giving her some safeguard liquid by dropper and i only got a tiy bit in her. so i'm a little worried. :( I might try again today. i might post in the med forum too and see if anyone has had similar issues.

I took a video and some photos of everyone last night....

These were pulled out but you can see the brown one that got crushed to the left at corner of boards.
Candled and all look to be laid in past few days. I'm going to wash them and use for our own use. Lol!! They keep you on your toes!!

How is your little doing, were you able to get the meds into her? When my little rooster was sick, I tried using a dropper and finally gave up as most of it didn't make it in. I had a small lid...it was from a snapple bottle...I put the meds in that and then I would place his beak into it and tip the lid a little...worked like a charm...I also gave him electrolytes using the same method!
