Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[LozzyR]

I have a few but single pictures are not as instructive as a well made video. All the silly things like how to hold the chicken if necessary, when to let go, how to keep him from paddling his other leg when your trying to apply the bandage etc, not to mention the sound effects.

A pity we’re not a lot closer in proximity, I could help you with that.

I've read the studies you provided Bob and tbh I don't really understand them. One would need considerable knowledge of the relevant fields appreciate how important the studies are and their relevance to their long term impact on viral immunology.
I kept having to dive into a dictionary and then onto the magazine Nature to find anything similar in the field that I might understand better.
My biology knowledge is pretty limited and my chemistry stopped pre university.

I’m glad you said that Shad; if a learned man such as yourself struggled to understand it, I don’t feel quite so thick.

I'd never heard of chickens with green legs either so I googled. Greenish grey legs are an EE trait apparently. I wouldn't know. I don't know anyone with EE's in Oz. I have Araucanas but I'd call their legs slate coloured I'd be sus with this lot too. Tell you anything, they would.

She has the prettiest green legs.. can’t you see it!?

I’ve been looking on the forums but I’m going to ask here too. Does anyone have any experience with sneezing chickens? Nyssa has been sneezing for a few days, but no-one else is. Her eyes and nostrils are clear. She’s moulting, could dander be getting up her nostrils? It rained massively during the week and I suspect some of the bedding is damp so I am going to change it today. I dust the bedding with mite dust, but no-one else is sneezing. Any thoughts?

Without being there, I wouldn't begin to know why she's sneezing. Sorry.

I often have a chicken sneeze for a few days. I usually just watch them for a few days, especially if everything else is normal.

I found a salve here is the states that is menthol, rose, and tea tree oil and you rub on the comb and waddles to help with any allergies. I used it in the spring when it was so cold and wet and it seemed to help.
