WBF, how's Rodney's comb doing in all this new cold weather? I'm hoping the CO is keeping him well.
Here let me make it worse, yesterday the kids and I stayed home for a "snow day" and had a blast! Today, I was able to open all my windows throw on a short sleeve shirt and do some deep cleaning! It was a beautiful day! Tomorrow will be 70, then another front hits. However, a awesome weekend!I just lost my sympathy for you Texans. I felt a little bad because I know you guys can't deal with snow.
WBF, glad to know Rodney's comb is doing OK. Mine are pretty much the same as before this last cold weather. Their tips are basically black and hard so they are all dried up. They are gonna look really bad once all of that necrotic tissue comes off. They have definitely dubbed themselves and beyond.Hi Bee... Rod's comb is no worse for the wear. His tips are pretty much all yellow now and I see he has lost one tip near the back of his comb. He has had no further frostbite damage in this latest bout of cold weather so I think that CO is doing the trick. He'll likely lose most of his tips as they are yellowish and quite hard to the touch but no oozing or signs of infection so that's a bonus !
We had it brutally cold here this past week with blizzard warnings for about 3 days straight. It has gotten up into the high 30's here today and a little rain. The temps supposed to drop back again tomorrow with another cold spell. Rod and his harem were out today enjoying the warm weather - it's the first time they have poked their heads outta their coop since Tuesday ! Darn spoiled brats
yes CO is some wonderful stuff. We're cooking with it now and that and olive oil is all we use now in oils.That's good to know! I've been using the CO for various things and finding it amazingly effective! Wish I had known about all this years ago. My mother even got in on trying it out after seeing what I've been doing with it. She has a sore on her leg that just won't heal and it's always red and tender, so she picks at it. She put some CO on it this morning and she said it no longer hurts even when she runs her hands over it and some of the redness has subsided.
I need to get up in the coop one night soon and put some more on my oldest hens' feet as their ankles look a little swollen and uncomfortable looking. It really helped with that the last time I applied it to them and has kept them well for many months since. Time for a new dose.
