Yeah, I am totally ok with the explination, but it would have been easier without the whole avian-egg reproduction thing.

I think that one needs to get published in Reader's Digest!!

Mahonri,
I lost track of the New Years hatch contest after the umptiest post... (had to catch up on some sleep) Did you win?

 

[Mahonri]

There are like 7 or 8 contests... but indeed, I had the first chick hatch after midnight...12:05AM MST, 1/1/11. and I posted the pics to prove it.

But I gave my 6 mo. GFM to the 2nd place winner as I didn't need it.

That was so kind of you Mahonri. There are so many pages to catch up with reading. What hatched for you?

I got 40 chicken chicks and 7 Coturnix quail.

Laree and 5pinkarrows! Between the two of you I can't stop laughing!

See what the poultry-free homes are missing?

Can anyone recommend a poultry vet anywhere in the north or west end of the Phoenix area? My kid's favorite rooster has what looks like yellow blobs growing/forming on his wattle and face. He can't hardly open his eyes. I am not a fan of spending a fortune on animals, hard as that may sound, especially since I don't have it now, but if there is something that can be done I need to do it.

Thanks all.

Any ideas what it is? Seems to have started after fighting amongst the roos for reordering the pecking order.

Bob,
I only know one in the SE Valley.
Did you post on "Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures" ?
Someone on BYC might know what's going on.

I know exactly how you feel. We have always said that our chickens won't visit a vet, but if it comes right down to it, I could see it happening for my daughter's sake.
Good luck!​
