Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

didn't have any animals close to that area OR a very strong breeze either. Plus if he used Mile Stone its safe for grazing/eating after 3 days.

I was going to try the ice cream salt on this honeycycle but H20 or Cap said it stays in the soil so I dont think I will.

She views the thread, but we have been quite busy lately. We are trying to figure out more clubs and volunteer spots we can participate in.

oh, ok Hi Berry!

Henbane is toxic to cattle, wild animals, fish, and birds.[13] Not all animals are susceptible; for example, the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including cabbage moths, eat henbane. Pigs are immune to henbane toxicity and are reported to enjoy the effects of the plant.[13]

smart lady. You could try spraying the plant with vinegar, if you only had some.

What happened? Did you post on the prayer thread? I havent gotten notifications from there recently...

Oh, [Edited to remove inappropriate language.] My dogs are absolutely reliable with the chickens. A neighbor's two Brittany spaniels came on to our property last week and got hold of two hens. My GirlChild heard them screaming and The Man and our dogs ran out there and rescued them and chased the dogs away. We thought they killed two of them, there were two big piles of feathers and not a bird in sight. But they all straggled in to roost at bed time and seemed fine. The owners came over and apologized and offered to pay for any losses, but at that time we thought they were all fine. About five days later this one turned out to be injured with the beginnings of fly strike, but we caught it in time. And no, I didn't post it on Prayer Warriors.

Oops, sorry, I meant "hell no MY dogs didn't hurt my hens."

I suspect that's what got a couple of my yaks, As the toxin builds up in their livers. Since then it has been an open war on hens bane. And I/we are winning the battle.

I dont know what it was here today but it was nasty.

Sadly, I am dealing with flystrike as well...

Due to the heat, one of the hens has been getting wetter poops. I have been trying to wash her butt often, but havent for 2-3 days already. Today I noticed she was acting odd, and sure enough, she had maggots. Maggots are awful! I really hope she makes it, but they got quite deep already...
