No I meant we may have less to worry about, It just never even crossed my mind to consider that.

What diseases do we have over here? I hear them talk about cocci and mareks all the time, I know we do have cocci, do we have mareks?

Oh sorry, I must have read your comment wrong.lol.

Yeah, I do hope that we have less disease. Not to sure if we have Mareks but I think we probably do.

I am going to make a thread about it.lol.!


Pink! You don't have to know anything about raptors as it isn't like real life. Just saying.

Doing the happy dance!!

Found a better home for Ed. Mentioned to a friend who knew a lady keeps poultry so she checked and she will take him! 54 acres and 40 hens. The young fellow will be worn out lol

So he leaves tomorrow, bit sad But now the kids can go back to cuddling their hens without him getting jealous.

So happy you found him a new home. Sorry your yucky neighbours made it happen though.

A bit sad how is is kept in a cupboard, why not out side in and enclosed pen?

Hmm, do y'all mean the mat at the bottom or the paper pad thing that the water drips onto?

The one that sits in the try that the eggs sit on I wash and remove all egg shell bits. The one the water drips into I just wash and put back never have had to swap it yet.

O.K Satay, I have been waiting till she got better but....I dropped a brick on one of my chicks.

It was in the morning I got the brick off of the feed lid and dropped it onto the ground about 30 cm from the ground. I do this EVERY morning but today a chick decided she would run under it!

It got the brick of the chick straight away and the chick tried to run off. She ran to one side as the brick had squished her to one side. she kept running but kept falling over, I picked her up and held her, she just sat there, I think she was in shock. I put her down and she kind of walked off, she fell over a couple times but was supporting her self with her wings. So I picked her up again held her then put her down, this time she ran off better just a few stumbles but she went to mum and ate something.
I didn't want to leave her there in the pen with the big hens and having to catch up to mum all the time as she didn't look to keen on much movement ( wouldn't blame her ). So I brought her up to the house. I slowly stretched her legs, wing, back and neck out. She didn't make any shrieks or signs of pain, I am not an expert but couldn't feel and unusual bums or breaks in the bones.

I put her her in a card board box with a netting over the top. It had shredded paper in it to keep her warm and I put food and water in with her. I also got a Lava Lamp.lol. as a bit of extra heat. It is pretty warm.

That was about 3 days ago, she is now, I think fully recovered and Is back in with the flock running, pecking and scratching about with her siblings!
I am still keeping an eye on her but I think she if fine!

Now I place the brick on the ground every morning.lol.
