Haven't been on in a few days and just caught up on about 5 days of conversation. Dangerous stuff! Just makes me more excited at the idea of trying out a little hatch with the kiddos! Dangerous because I can't afford to become as addicted as you all, lol. I already have 4 chickens in an area with a three chicken limit

Only a couple more weeks and I can see about locating some eggs and starting a hatch!

Anna I use Vet RX on everyones comb, you can also use neosporin (make sure it is the basic one-no pain medicine one) or just even vaseline. It will heal on its own, but I love the vet rx. It's awesome. I've been told by old-timers to use it on everything!!

Trying to find an animal friendly area out that way.



What's going on with combs? My FBCM cockerel, my baby, lots one of his points.

I'm so upset, because he was looking so good.

He lost one of his points, how?

Did it fall off, or did he get in a scuffle with another boy?

I'm hatching eggs from Monique Wagner's (ruth on BYC) Wade Jean Black Copper Marans, I'm sure I'll have an extra boy handy if you're looking for a replacement.

Thank you. We have so much fun with chicks around.


Jeremy, no scuffle. I have two duffis Marans roos. I had a roll of hardware wire on the porch and it was lossely rolled and they were running through it like little kids. I mean back and forth and when I tried to corral them they'd run back through. Their combs were cut and bloody and I put neosprin on them after I cleaned them good with peroxide and although it didn't look to bad, the next day a piece was hanging. When I went to add some vaseline to them this morning it just fell off. I cried, he walked off to find more trouble.

I love my little Pierre. Him and Regal still have some scabs and I'm hoping they'll be ok now, but I was so bummed.

I swear I have three roo that are on crack. Oh and 2 hens. Geez I guess their all dingy. I almost closed one of the Game hens up in a feed bucket until I saw her in there. Got her out of my garage and went out later and another one had been in there and was pinned between a box and the window. Guess she had fun before that, because 4 boxes from the shelves were upside down and stuff was everywhere.

OH and another Game decided that got into the garbage can when I had it out back throwing a bunch of stuff out. I tossed something in and a chicken came flying out right past my face. One got in the house and was running around my kitchen, so I had a 5 year old chasing while I yelling stop and tried to get her to calm down. Feathers flapping all over and a roast on the counter, which she knocked to the floor. That was a pizza night.

These birds are like really bad kids.

Too true, I've got a 6, 8 and 11 year old at home that make me actually enjoy dealing with the chickens schenanigans!
