It really has. I've lost 2 to predation, had 4 seriously injured, northern fowl mites twice, lost one to sour crop, have one I'm treating for sour crop, a leg injury, a head injury resulting in wry neck, 2 roosters and one hen with bumble foot and now eyeworms and a new puppy that won't stop chasing them. Ok, your turn!
Lets see. We've been battling avian flu all winter, two new puppies terrorizing our birds, the loss of all our original bantams, the loss of about half our original egg layers, the loss of my personal hand raised favorite duck oreo, several bumblefoot cases, my own dog terrorizing and killing most of the chick flock, injuries that we don't know the cause of. It goes on....
Wow thats a run of bad luck you have got to be half dead yourself! I humbly crown you florence nightingale of 2022
Holy crap, I'm sorry you're having to deal with all that. Idk wtf is happening to our birds or why but I'm going to keep you in my prayers for some relief and health.
I humbly accept. Thank you!
Same. That illness ravaged our flock big time, still taking birds here and there to unfortunately. Must have spent at least 100$ dollars on medications to try and combat it. But we did manage to find one that helped a lot (thought didn't completely get rid of it.) My mom just had to have a breed of dog that's bread for hunting small animals to. Our other puppy was easy to train out of it. But that one is proving difficult to do the same.
