That's do ya! You're also gonna need syringes... We found a cheap one that lasts a long time. Let me get that info for you.

I ordered some syringes too, but needed some other stuff for my dog too,so ordered the syringes from the same place. I got 35cc and 60 cc but only a few of wach. Hoping I won't need to use them often. I think TSC carries some too...

Unfortunatley, the new sick one just died about 30 minutes ago. I am getting very frustrated at this point. He was just linping yesterday and now dead today. No external injuries I could find. I though maybe he dislocated otherwise traumatized a joint as he was walking better last eveing that he had been earlier in the day. Could this be coccidiosis too? Do I need to treat the entire flock?


When I lived in San Jose, I considered myself a Northern Californian ans Sac is definitley more north than that is. Welcome to the thread!


So a 30 at least. Are they like some things where the higher the number the smaller the tube? I might try to get a selection
Usually it is lack of calcium or the calcium is not being absorbed. Lack of vitamin D3 can prevent them from making use of calcium even of it is plentiful. They get Vit D3 from sun or you can supplement it. Some birds may have other issues that cannot be corrected with either. I have a red sex-link that laid porous eggs or shelless ones all last year. After her molt though, she has been laying perfect ones again. I have seen some posts here with a link to info about common egg problems. Maybe someone can re-post that link for you.

I missed you doubting us here in san jose! saying we are not nor cal is hearacy at least since 1965. did read some calling it the hub of central cali in the 60s...

Just a thought, but what're the turkey regulations in the county part of San Jose ?

As far as I can tell, quacking ducks , new world quail and roosters are the only things with regs. You could technicaly have a issue with the 1 turkey if you moved to central, but it is unlikely anyone would recognize it so id not worry

I think the only poultry regulation in the unincorporated sections of Santa Clara County is for roosters, and that says four is the limit.

I soak my syringes on alcohol in between using them. cant really boil them. They last as long as the rubber stopper holds pressure, a LOONG time if you dont loose em! I get em from Tractor casuse its easy. But does anyone know where to get small needles? Cant get diabetes ones from the pharmacy anymore. The ones I have for vaccinating chicks are bigger then i like.

ROFL- this reminds me of some of my conversations- only it was supplies for artificial insemination. The red rubber catheters didn't work out very well for some of the dogs so we went to human nasal cannulas cut to length. Well Drat! It just says standard tubing but it's 7 feet long. Yeah, that's more than long enough.

Chicken Math strikes again! Since I only had 1 BCM hatch I went to pick up 6 more from a local breeder; so of course I came home with 15 mostly blue and splash coppers. If this doesn't yield a few pullets I'm going to have to give up on copper Marans.

I've got my fingers crossed for you. I bought 4 day old BCM and a week later 7 of the 15 I'd set hatched. I think I may have 2 maybe 3 pullets.

It has been a banner cockerel year all around.

Years ago (8?) I was given a pair of bright yellow crocs. Until recently they looked brand new. I'm usually barefoot around the house and some of the yard but since what goes into chickens also comes out of chickens ...

Well, I finally remembered that bright cheerful vintage yet NIB pair of crocs yes, I now wear crocs around the house. Bright yellow crocs. In case you're wondering NOTHING else I wear is yellow. Nothing.

I did say bright yellow, right? Easy to see, almost blinding, bright yellow.Apparently several of The Ladies (the chicken The Ladies as opposed to the dog Ladies) LOVE those crocs. They peck at them, sit on them, follow them. One falls asleep on them. I know parrots see color very well (just change the color of something on an African Gre- Danger Will Robinson, Danger!). But how well do chickens see color?

Apparently chickens see color very well. Much better than humans. Interesting explanation about rods and cones and why chickens don't see well at night. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/02/100216101159.htm Most mammals during the age of the dinosaurs had to become nocturnal. Dinosaurs didn't. So mammals developed rods to see at night. Chickens, as descendants of dinosaurs, never had to develop rods. Fascinating.

The Flics, Crevecoeurs, pay more attention to the crocs but it might be that The Flics notice things more anyway than the Cochins.. Flic 1 will heel next to my left foot better when I'm wearing bright blinding yellow footwear. Or it could be as he gets more practice he does better at heel. LOL- Teaching a chicken to heel
