Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Wonder how many cockerels I have. I've already spotted one with a popping red comb. I won't know until they start roosting in the big hen house and I can go in there with a flashlight - and no Big Mama to threaten me, lol!

I know that hurts. First roo I ever had was those big white ones with black scattered around the neck? It want my blood and wouldn't take no for an answer. 2nd roo was very small. Serama sized red and blue coloring and I loved him to bits. He was old when I got him and I had him the longest of them all

well all the dogs seem to have adjusted to Crima null aka the hump-meister or sir humps alot. Vet appointment to tomorrow. They (breeders) did NOT do toes or tails. (not amused !!!) but he had great bone structure in his legs. And the did the first set of puppy shots and then "dropped the ball" Will get the shots started (again) and see if they the vet still can OR will remove his dew claws. Tail aka coffee table clearer offer remains UNTIL it gets seriously hurt.

This puppy is humping??? Everything you are saying here points to unprofessional breeders. Don't most breeders do dew claws practically at birth? Of tails, I know nothing, but that certainly should have been done before you got him.

Bella has ..no..platelets. None.
This vet was awesome. Wanted to take her back for another ultrasound. Didn't charge me. Said too much blood in the urine to get results for a UTI but this find was more important.
They found a bruise on her inner thigh. The Technician spotted it. No platelets to stop bleeding. He was going to put her on steroids..and anti biotic..but called a colleague because he wanted to see if he could think of something else to do. Colleague said..no anti biotic. Could cause more harm than good. He said he had never seen anything like this. Hopefully the steroids will help her immune system build up to help the platelets to start coming back. In the meantime, kennel. No jumping up on the couch, running downstairs, or playing with Cooper or kids. A bad bump could cause her to bleed out.
The Tech was giving me the do's and big dont's..apologized and said sorry I have to be so blunt..she could just go any time. I'm to take her in to my own vet in a week if she isn't doing well, two weeks if there's an improvement. Let the steroids work. Praying they work.

Very rare. They pass off EE as them.
No way to know since chickens don’t have pedigrees

I should know when I start breeding them.

First roo sounds like a Delaware? Or a Brahma maybe? You realky loved your chickens . How long did you have them?

Groooaan! Now we have TWO Weimaraners. Oh sorry. I mean weisenheimers. What, is it the air up there???

It might be the air, who knows?
I reckon it’s a dry sense of humor.

Questions about my Ameraucana chicks.

This is a tightly-cropped pic of two of my chicks. The one at upper left is a BA. The other is supposed to be a black Ameraucana. But I'm seeing a lot of ... well, grey or blue on this chick, on the wing coverlets. Is this chick going to feather out black or blue?

Looks like it’ll be black.

Oh Cynthia! Oh no!
I'm so sorry! What could cause this? Do dogs get ... leukemia?
This is ..... sadness. Praying. Poor little girl. Poor you, too.

Cancer is one of the reasons..different kinds in fact. Bad immune system too.

Granny can’t get back on byc for some reason. She wanted me to tell you good night

 

[BigBlueHen53]

Did they suggest a platelet or whole blood infusion?
