Chickens for 10-20 years or more? Pull up a rockin' chair and lay some wisdom on us!

Nah...we won't cull him if he has the proper healthy appearance and performance.

I can't remember the last time I found myself staring at poop, but I agree with you and since you are a nurse....why do I have this overwhelming urge to drag my butt on the rug now that you have told us all that we have parasites?

Walt

I was thinking the same thing..

I think Walt needs to post his racing performance results so we can see if he's worth wintering over.

 

[Fred's Hens]

Since we vegetable farm, we naturally have lots and lots of cucumbers and squash. We put up pounds of orange, winter squash in the freezer, so there are lots of squash guts. While the birds seem to tire of cucumbers somewhat quickly, they never seem to tire of squash guts. Yes, I freeze a few quarts of just the guts, so that I have them to feed in late winter before the breeding season. Folks down in KY also use a little Black Walnut tea from time to time. That's it. That's all the "worming" our birds ever get or gonna get I reckon.

Walt's sense of humor keeps me coming back here, btw. Gosh, you're funny, my man.

Given my age, I don't think I should have to prove much, but here you go. Note right front wheel is off the ground in this turn and Walt is giving the proper amount of body english to hopefully get it back down where it should be.



Picture of me in the same car for verification purposes to meet performance criteria.




I have lots of movies........lol

[Christie Rhae]

You guys are cracking me up!

I am growing pumpkins... just for the chickens. lol

 

[Beekissed]

Is that really you, Walt? What a cutie-pie!

 

[fowlman01]

Is that really you, Walt? What a cutie-pie!

Thanks, yes it is really me......no one has said that to me in years. I kind have butterflies in my tummy now.....along with all the other stuff you said lives there. Are you sure about that anal gland stuff cuz I have always heard that is why dogs drag their fannies on rugs. So you are telling me that this is just another internet lie?

Walt

 

[Beekissed]

Yep...impacted anal glands, not worms. So the butterflies can live alongside the worms and your glands are a whole 'nother issue.

BUTT....every time a dog rubs his butt on the carpet, he is shedding worm ova all over the place~so it's six of one and half dozen of the other.

I stopped licking the carpet at about 3, so I should be good there.........one less thing to worry about........that's always good.

One time I was grading birds for this guy and a rooster pooped what looked like a ball of spaghetti...moving spaghetti. I guess that bird had reached it's parasite level. I think I burned everything I had on that day. I had never seen anything like that before or since.
