The Australians don't tend to whine ime.Ranting perhaps....So only a little bit of whining then.
Not to budd in but, viscous ? All I know is that my corn becomes more vicious this time of year. Especially around October!@Shadrach while you're about, I've a question for you if you don't mind. Do egg whites become more viscous as a hen ages? I ask because Mary is 4 now and her whites are increasingly viscous, so I'm wondering if it's just her or whether it's common.
There's a hen in with the Ex Batts that would seem to have some Polish genes.So many of these more unusual birds have personalities to match. Olivia is a case in point.
Would you consider learning to tube feed? I think a “lamb saver” kit would work.Thank you for sharing your experience! She was on antifungal medication for 10 days, which helped, but she's still not eating on her own (except for dandelion leaves).
Yes, I talk to them and sing to them.Michelle, do you stop and just talk with your birds? I do individually, all the time . When I’m alone in the hanger, I even talk to my Cessna, asking politely if it’s okay to fly today. (Because I’m usually alone with her and I can.) I must check for any discrepancies on the propeller, landing gear, loose hatches , and any other problem before I take to the air. (Honestly, I’m in love with anything that has wings) but NOT mosquitoes!
It was a combination of circumstances. It was complicated and some of it not really worth going into and not what I want to publish.Ohhhh I see.
A timing thing rather than a forced out thing.
This is very interesting, Shad! A few of my girls have had very rough first molts, as well. Remember Ester last year? This year it’s Minnie, even though her molt isn’t all that bad. Now Flash is in her first molt and I fear she’s not eating. She is lowest in the pecking order and tiny to begin with, so I won’t be surprised if I end up needing to tube her, too. A few years ago, Millie almost starved herself to death during molt. I can’t say for sure, but I think it must have been her first.Was last year her first major moult?
The hens from the tribes made very heavy weather of their first moult; wouldn't eat the feed provided, wandered away from the tribe to forage, looked completely miserable and left me feeling very worried about them.
Come the second full moult most took it in their stride. They still kept away from the rest of the tribe by a few feet but stayed within hearing distance of their rooster. Some prefered to sleep in the nest boxes at the worst part of the moult but went back to normal roosting fairly quickly.
I’ll be right over! (Who doesn’t like having someone sing to them )Yes, I talk to them and sing to them.
Don’t get me started!The Australians don't tend to whine ime.Ranting perhaps....
