How is your polish today?

She is the same. Since i am at work all day I can't really observe her. I am going to give her some Corid water in the morning before I leave so that I know she is getting some. Do you have any idea how much it actually takes per bird to be effective for that bird?

I don't know what else to do...... I have been so disorganized lately that my kid has gotten to school a half hour late for the last two days. This move is killing me......almost literally. I had a closet shelf fall on me last night and it wasn't even that full of stuff. I had some decorative daggers on top for safe keeping and after the shelf fell they were about 4 inches from my neck! What moron mounts a closet shelf into just the sheet rock? What moron (me) doesn't check to see if the closet shelf is secure in the new house?

Then after that I finally found my alarm clock, set it, or thought I did, and it didn't go off this morning! Hence the lateness.

Did you happen to see that link I posted to a product for chickens that supposedly treats many different things?

Have you ever seen that or heard of that product before?

Here it is again just in case. No one said anything so either they looked at it and knew nothing about it or I am a great thread killer.

Thanks for asking Ron. I still have to get the poo in the mail. I was so late this morning I couldn't get any and my sick bird didn't poo overnight. I would like to send hers in for sure and some of the others that don't appear ill.

Sorry that this has been a rough move and that your girl hasn't improved. My d'anver hasn't really turned the corner either. I did find she will eat cooked egg and wild bird seed, to try and round it out I've been putting game crumbles and meal worms in also. She acts like she is cold and stiff most of the time.

Hope things get back to closer to normal for you soon.

As for the wormer, I've never heard of it. But it doesn't look like it will work if your flock has tapeworms - which isn't unusual, I understand that tapeworms are really hard to get rid of. It's worth a try, it has a short withdrawal time. But I'd certainly follow up with another poop test to make sure it worked.

I looked up Hygromicin B the main ingredient in that wormer and it is an antibiotic that was developed in the 50's and the only FDA approved for chickens. It only kills three types of worms so that is a good reason to get the pooh checked if you want to know if you need something stronger. I did not send in a sample because the five big girls all had poopy butts and I already had purchased the Valbazen. I hope you have no more episodes of "when closets attack!". Maybe you need to go in them armed.

We had a funny now scare this morning. We got home late last night and nutmeg was missing. I went straight to bed and did not know while poor mario looked for her in the dark for hours.

It turns out she went to sleep with the big girls in the main coop! Mario was so funny this morning swearing a blue streak at a chicken while she snuggled him. Snicker daddy came over and scolded her too.

So now to find the nutmeg sized hole on the covered porch.

Nutmeg says this would not be a problem if we stopped ejecting her from the house!

What a sweet dh! Is nutmeg my serama mama? They're the craziest babies I've ever had. I told them I'm not ready for them to fly out of my hand and get across the room . The cats all follow me when I go visit them

The lone quail is my ds favorite . She is a snuggler. No crying or running away at all! So different than the adults in the garage!

So , my basque eggs came. Great packing job . Double bubble and box with a peanut float. Lol they are beautiful! Almost as large as debs cl eggs. They are a pinkish cream and one is quite pink purplish. Barely fit in the mini. I now love sat morning shipping! My hopes are high so I can add beautiful birds from the local breeders. I mean really, Ron is clearly a perfectionist, did everyone see those babies!!! We will see.

I need to write down all the info I get from the facebook vets. Everyone in Europe uses this one wormer and is shocked we don't use it much. But I never remember what it is. They also freak out about sulmet and use 2 cocci drugs one after the other. ( well not everyone, this is more on the continent, and of that the people who write in english on chicken pages)

England is fascinating with their chicken habits. Almost everyone who keeps chickens has an ex battery hen and hey are considered to be beginner chickens. They take them to the vets all the fricking time, and the vets know about chickens! and the bill is like 30 bucks! People had heart attacks when I told them how much i spent on taking purples to the vet, lol. Of course, I'm sure I have a skewed sample of people, but what is considered normal is fascinating.

In Australia they have gone INSANE for the rooster collar. from what I gather, roosters are legal, but noise is not ( at least in Sydney) . I mentioned it to someone and in a day there were like 200 posts and I got emails from people on other boards asking for Laurens info. Here people are i'll say, less excited about it, lol. The not separating roosters out for separate laws makes sense if you think most of our laws are trying to stamp out the sport that shall not be named. They also call buff gold and someone is trying to recreate paint out of a line of splash chickens. Id love to get paint to them over there, but I'm not sure how hard it is to export eggs, especially to Australia, the land of a million regulations.

The german showgirl page is quite active too, but I don't speak german, so I just cruise for pictures and translate things that say show.

Boy I got off topic there! flowers, yes Nutmeg is your serema mamma. She is a tin thing! Not the smallest I have seen, but the smallest you want if you are going to hatch eggs from them, i think. I hope everyones chickens feel well today. /hugs to people with sick babies.

Is the rooster collar working for them? How does the clasp work--more Velcro or do you use a button or a snap.

Good luck hatching!

The Basque usually hatch well when shipped. They are also very cute little yellow fluff balls when they hatch.

And oh my the eggs they lay are very nice!

I believe, thanks to a breeder who understands feather colors and came up with a few marked like Paints in his AM breeding line, that paint is actually one copy of Dominant White over black - they won't get it using the Blue gene. Next time you talk over there tell them that. I am sure they have Dominant White if they have White Leghorns - then its just the long haul getting back to the correct breed body and all the rest of the stuff. Exporting eggs is extremely difficult - and I don't think they allow any exports from the US at all. I vaguely recall an international poultry show they had there where they had to have an act of god to stop the Aussies from destroying all the birds brought to the show from other countries...

I agree that "our" laws about roosters are trying to stamp out the sport that shall not be named. The laws about noise over there are just about noise - and those rooster collars would be great for reducing that.

I have a "Gold" Silkie boy here.. still available although I am very tempted to use him over his mother for at least one season - he is so much richer in color than the Buff she is, even if he isn't a single even color and has blue in his tail, darker on his wings and head and gold on his neck.

ChickNmamma,

How are the Silkie girls I gave you doing? I haven't been on this thread in awhile. Hope your project is going well!
