Try sucking zinc lozenges. They can stop a cold if you get it early enough. Or, like Nova, try ACV - it's a miracle thing.

Fuzzy's talked about zinc lozenges before. Where do you find them? Pharmacy or health store?

 

[NovaAman]

Both places...

Gigi, did you tell everyone here about your five alarm food cake? Funny stuff... Lol

 

[BackyardFarmMom]

Poor goatees... trying to poison those poor babies!!!

Nova... I want a Skatter/Skeeter... I guess I should get a rooster that will actually service the girls LOL He is too... chicken?... to try!!! He will dance and call them over and follows them around like a puppy... No funny business though!!!

Good morning all! Gigi you are in Ok? I'm in mississippi.. My sister lives in Hulbert Ok, few miles from Talaquah. We have 3 roosters that all start crowing at 4am. So much fun to hear them!, anyway hope everyone has a great day!

I went fishig in Sardus Miss when I was stationed at the Memphis Naval Air Base, going to AM school. Caught nothing then and there, a pattern that has repeated maany times since.

The Naval Air Station near Oklahoma City Gave me opportunity to Spend a weekend in Prior Ok. on a ranch That raised Purebred Herford Cattle. Domino Ranch, i think was the name. My sister had met a son of the owner when she was at the Airforce School in Stillwater, Ok. They had some kind of a relationship. Not sure what. However, one of the Calves produced at the ranch during that time was named Domino Dot. I think Dorothy, my sis had some influence there.

Interestingly, it was January when I visited, I'm 17 wears old, green as the soil is red thereabouts, and ignorant as can be. Their idea of a good time was Church meetings and hymn singing. I went along.

Not a bad time. But some seemed diasappointed that i didn't declare I was saved. Oh well ! The night passed and early the following morning, cold as a well diggers toes in the Yukon, "Dad" declared a cow was missing. A problem since these were pedigreed critters and she was overdue to calf. We searched the pasture she was in and sure enough, she was down. Calf was half out and breeched. Back half frozen solid. My sheltered and innocent life had not prepared me fo this at all. "Dad", nonplussed, commented something about "that ol snatch sure does stretch." He tied a rope to the calf, hooked the other end to the tractor and, out popped the dead calf. Talk about shocked. I was That, to say the least. That was sixty wears ago and I remember it vividaly. The cow lived, i understand. And my perceptions of several things changed that day. Never thought of Oklahoma as being that cold, and learned that cold does not necessarily produce snow.

devoured like they'd been starved by the mean old mistress. Then I checked the girls and they were listlessly picking at the oatmeal like "Where's the mac and cheese? That's what we really expect?"

Mac And Cheese Seems to be a favorite of chickens, universally.

I live n Mississippi, and wish I could find someone in my area to talk to about my chickens! And Bob there's more independent girls out here! I'm very independent, I have a awesome husband that loves that I'm not afraid to try just about anything ! I have always liked making and fixing things! Inside and outside! We have been building coops and putting up fence for past week together. We just got chickens and are learning together, and enjoying every minute of it. Lots of hard work but so much bonding!!! Lol... Anyway everyone have a great day. Hi Nova!

Have you tried to find a BYC thread for Mississippi in the social stuff. I'll betcha there is one. Notice the last part of the title to this thread ?

OH MY GAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I am so so so so so in love and so so so so screwed.

The last eggs hatched. Another yellow silkie looking pink skinned fluff ball with four toes, feathered legs and feet. Just exactly like the other one.

AND THEN....*drum roll*

one egg was completely zipped...and then some. great big wide swath of shell missing all the way around...and I could tell by looking the baby inside was shrink wrapped in there. And yelling up a storm!!!

So,I took it out and tried to help it- and what do I find?????

The ugliest baby Uggo on the planet...shrinkwrap stuck to its ugly naked neck and back of its head...and it was throwing a fit!@@@@!!!!! Chicken Little Serama plus the Showgirl in my avatar...awwwwwwwww...

Everyone PLEASE pray/chant?voodoo mojo jo jo...that it is a quiet girl. I really wanna DNA test it. No sense being attached if its a boy.

Five toes. Ugly poop brown. I love it.

Pictures? Oh yes I have them.








and the other yellow one:




that lone egg in the back is Bird the OEGBX Chicken Little Serama...due in one week.

 

[Mom 2em All]

that little Uggo is in the incubator throwing a fittttttttttttttttttttt

what the heck is wrong with it? I think it just likes to hear itself peep.

Holy Criminies...


and Bobbry-

poor calf! Poor Mama Cow with a dead baby... That is so sad.

 

[Chickenfan4life]

Haha!

I hope it doesn't turn out to be a rooster.

 

[Savannah Soliz]

Lol!!! Yes I've actualy tried to see if there was any others from Ms but no luck! And my new cb kens are doing great. No eggs yet.. I have 2 buff orpingtons, 3 silver laced wyandottes 1 white leghorn, and 3 black stars, and a big rooster that I'm not quite sure of! I have a pair of spotted Spangler bantams. And a white set of bantams. Just got them last weekend, so no eggs yet. They haven't settled in yet. What should I feed them to make sure they start laying ? I'm feeding them lay fellets and scratch. The bantams lay crumbles and scratch. We are working on coops expanding and fixing up too, so thought maybe that is disturbing the. Egg process too? Anyway thanks for making me feel better everyone! Sorry I was whinning
