Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

I could live off the fat of the land for a solid month or more even. What do they say, a person can go w/o food for a few weeks but will die w/o water in like 2 days ? Something like that.

OHH It just clicked. Was that #1s chicken?

You just have the magic touch. everything I touch turns to crap.

No, not true. I have had my share of them die.

Thing is I didn't do much for her except give her a chance to get better. Olive oil one time and massage to try to clear the crop, no food, and water with chick probiotics. It was a long slow wait, but she got better. I read so much about how to treat these problems, and I think people do too much sometimes.

No, that Peach

I have never seen that problem before. Hope I never do. I have seen prolapse twice I believe. Once in a serama I culled her. the egg was stuck to her outside vent and I now think it was from treats. Too much corn and her being fat from it. The other was the jub hen who was already huge on their own. It saved her for a year just to end up dying from the same thing.

Oh thank goodness no. That's going to be a sad day around here. Peach was sitting next to Figgy on the top roost tonight.

How old are they now ? The oldest ?

I think prolapse is rare to get a complete cure.

Got to give Scooter his pills

Peach was in the first batch of chicks we got. She's 7 now. Only 2 others left from those first chicks. And all 3 of them still lay the occasional egg... about 2 per week.

I think I will go wander Wishing. I hope you get some sleep tonight.
Amazing from what I hear. Peeps replace their flocks by the 3rd year sometimes.
sweet dreams all
