Consolidated Kansas

Chicken danz-- I am not giving up on her, I want to do everything I can to help her survive. I am definetly not going to cull unless she is actually suffering. Now I need to find vit e capsules but cant buy them till fri. I will continue with the vi-tal and probiotics to see if this helps. I also will look to the natural cure over medication as I do for myself and my family. My older flock free range all day and I feed the correct feed and lots of fruits and veggies. They are nice and healthy. I know sometimes things happen but if I can save her I will do whatever it takes...I have a plastic tub full of chicken medical supplies I have been slowly gaining things I deem useful to chicken doctoring, it is always the thing you have not yet collected and when you are broke that things happen. I thank you for giving me hope for her. I only have her as a pet and bday gift and egglayer. she is precious and I dont want to lose her. Are there any other suggestions?
 
Oh one other thing. I often give my chicks pedialite to help build up electrolites. Gatoraide now has these individual packets to mix up small amounts.I have started using some of those and adding it to the water for electrolites. The birds really seem to love the taste and it gives them a boost. My DH drinks it. It was here so I tried it and the results have been great. I also give pro-biotics and add apple cider vinegar to water off and on.
thank you
 
Hawkeye- I have been giving them the vi-tal for 3 days now. First day was sugar water and then fresh water then the vi-tal. I do have sav-a-chick probiotics I was goin to mix up for them starting today.
ahhh, then you are doing all you can. :)


Good morning from SW Kansas.

I had to go back a few pages to find this posting! I kept wondering where everyone saw this! I just totally missed it! Greetings to Kansas Prairie! :) Welcome to the Kansas thread!
 
Kansas prairie, I lived in Hugoton for a while, then Deerfield, then Dodge City. I moved to Ok., and lived In Goodwell for 10 years, ended up moving to Hooker lived there for about 3 years.

I still have family in Lakin and Garden City.

Wow, it's a small world! Hugoton is growing like a weed, constuction, buildings going up, have you been there lately? We also have family in Garden City. Thank you for being friendly!
 
DH is mowing today; it's only two yards and one is the one he push mows by himself anyway. I went to the doc yesterday and I'm just going to take it easy today and ice my back a few times. I might do a little light housecleaning. I haven't dusted or anything since we started that painting project, so there's quite a layer on everything.

We've been getting about an egg a day. Those birds better get over the molt soon! I'm sure it doesn't help that we haven't hooked up the light in the coop yet. Last week DH said he went out and some of them growled at him. He'd never had that happen before. I've heard a variety of sounds from them, especially the EEs, some of which do sound like various types of growls. The EEs seem to have a much larger range of sounds than our other chickens.

Good morning from SW Kansas.

ChicknBaron, find an old baby crib and just turn it upside down.

You're awesome Lizzy, you just did my work for me, thanks. Nerds ROCK!!!! Algebra was enough for me, I really like bio classes more.
