She's been laying down a lot. Should I separate her from all the others for the rest of the day? They put themselves to bed in about 30 mins. Where would I put her?
Yes spray with BluKote, it has a disinfectant. Put her in a dog crate overnight indoors, you foster, right? Give her water with electrolytes or Pedialyte or even just a teaspoon of sugar in a quart of water. Then offer her a scrambled egg.

My egg customers would like some eggs to eat.

I know you let your flocks out, but are you hatching any pure Brabanters?  My Production Red is a horrible sitter, but a fantastic mother.  Any chance you'll have some Brabanter day old's the week of the 22nd?  I'm going out of town next week, so I don't want to do it until I get back.

I won't ;( everyone is still free ranging together ..

My foster dog just got ahold of Charlotte. After I dragged him into the house I went to check on my chicken and although nothings broken she does have a big cut on her leg and doesn't like when I touch that leg. Should I spray Blue Kote on the cut?

The best bet is to first spray with Vetricyn if you have it. Then I'd coat it with BluKote and keep a close eye on her. Make sure she doesn't get shocky. I'd keep her quiet for the rest of the day and then return her to the flock.

Yes, I foster. 23 dogs fostered so far... I'll take my crate from the car and put it in my room, on top of old towels so she doesn't get poop on the floor.. What should I put in there with her? Can I use the waterer that they used as baby chicks, or will that be too small for her to drink out of?

Ditto. If she is limping them keep her isolated until she is not limping.

Not limping when she walks, but she's just been laying down next to a plant near the coop. I don't have Vetricyn

Neosporin without pain reliever will work too.

Bummer. It was worth a try though.

I remembered the batteries for the camera today. We visited Kim's Ranch in Guinda today. There was a Blue Egg Layer from the UofA reunion. The Boy saw the girl: (I hatched the two Crele Penedesencas from Json's flock. They are standing at the back) Then the Girl moved closer to watch the Boy dance for her:

Awesome !

Thank You Molly!

It is very nice getting to visit the Star Rose Ranch! I am so lucky to get to keep them there too. Thank You Kim!

Pictures continue! Pita Pintas at 2 weeks old. They are starting to turn white and the black spots are getting bigger. The one on the right was mad at me--I took him away from his food! All better now! They are really chowing down. This is an EO Marraduna Basque Hen chick at 2 weeks old. It is a second generation from Spain chick.

They are so dang cute!

I had a guy and his kids come get a few chicken today.. They pulled up in a Convertible car SOOOOOOO Unprepared ...I showed them what I had for sale, wanted everything but what I showed them. Then after finally getting them to Commit on two chicks about 4 weeks old. I asked them if they had a cage?
NOPE! We will just hold them on are lap. Did I Mention they were in a convertible.... The Dad was getting them for his daughter. She never stopped texting and playing with her phone the Intire time. I had to repeat myself way to many time.... RUDE PEOPLE ! So frustrating...

As soon as people are paying for something they think you are a cruise director to entertain them. I have very politely not sold chickens to people who I was pretty sure would not be able o care for then at all. I feel like the world of Warcraft old saying " you are not prepared!!"

Quail are words . People want to let them go in the yard... I don't really want them to die in 2 days.
B collie yes on blue Kote and they should e able to drink out of the waste dish unless you had a quail warterer.

My foster dog just got ahold of Charlotte. After I dragged him into the house I went to check on my chicken and although nothings broken she does have a big cut on her leg and doesn't like when I touch that leg. Should I spray Blue Kote on the cut?

Yes, just laying down is shock. Get her something to perk her back up and tell her she is still alive. Do one of the above suggestions - she needs something to recover from that trauma. She can drink out of the chick waterer - or you can put a cup with some water and makes sure she drinks a lot - then put it in the chick waterer for later. If you have a dog dish you can hang on the inside of the crate with the water that would work too.

What do you NOT want to find in morning when you go out to check on your chickens?

Yikes Deb....thank God your DH is home to take cars of that little Stinker ...
