Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

AND there is the whole experience thing, Henny has already successfully raised a batch of four. Even with all my stupidity and knowing nothing about chickens then! Ha!

You're kidding us, right?

You're an amazing chicken keeper

Awww you’re a good girl Honey I will give you my shrimp I am not a big shrimp fan.

I’ve never tried Udon noodles with Honey before!

Help! I know I haven been around, things have been weird. But Eenie is really hurt! I hadn't noticed anything until today. She was a bit bedraggled but I've been so busy I've not paid them much attention.

Look at her poor neck! View attachment 3675428View attachment 3675429View attachment 3675430
It's like she's just been eaten! The pictures dont show how bad it is! I know it's likely Manny, with the other girls getting in some pecks. I don't have the new coop ready but I'd take Manny out if I did.

I do still have that little tiny coop. I could put her in it until she heals. I can put her where she can see the others, but not interact.

What do I do to treat her? It's all black and clotted. I didn't see any parasites or signs of infection.

Or should I just get rid of the rooster? This makes me ready to do it!

If this was my situation i would just clean up this wound. The poor little thing.

I'm sure most people here will have cleaning solutions. But I think the clotting is a good thing. I'd be rushing for warm water and colidial silver now for starter's and be screaming for Bob Kelly and Royal Chick's guidance

People need to give themselves some credit. Raising chickens to old age isn’t easy. There’s many reasons why chickens die off, and it’s not always the human’s fault for it. Sure, there’s things that can be avoided, but in the long run, the best we can do, (particularly), is watch for signs of sickness or injury.

Not for honey noodles there isn’t!

Telemarketers are plentiful today (putting me in a bad mood) . That last call, I felt sorry for them because I really took my anger out on that caller.
(If you are trying to sell me something, forget it! Tax: )

So much for my abundance of knowledge.
