grannys gone and done it

I am so sorry you are hurting Granny. Try icing it for 20 mins a few times a day. Will help reduce the swelling so it can heal. I have had a lot of problems with my knees and back over my years. Ice really helped me. Get a gallon sized zip lock and put some ice in it. Put a thin towel over your knee and lay the ice bag on it. Lay there for about 15 to 20 mins with the bag right on the knee. Really chill the area out, but don't freeze it. Do this a couple times a day. In a few days, you should notice some healing.

Hope you feel better soon!

Knees are tricky. Arnica tablets?
Helps with internal healing.

i dont think those tablets are here mum. i was very good today. i only brought home one chick. the one they owed me but, i dont know what it is. its very white with a couple black circles on its back. like a dalmatian dog, hasnt got all its spots yet. lol she said now hurry home because they dont like being by themself. i told her it wasnt my fault i was shorted, if it was bothering her that much, throw another one in there. hahaha then i hurried home. i went to a different feed store that has chicks and got a bit upset with them. the conditions the chicks were in was not nice. they had so much poop on their little behinds there was no way they could poop. not just one or two but most of them. i did ask who is supposed to be taking care of them and she said the whole store does. i told her she must be short handed because this was terrible. she said well, i did 2 of them today. really? i dont remember what i said after that but i dont think im allowed back in the store any more. i also got an egg today from the old hen the dog tore up. its bound to break a record. i took pics and when my friend comes back i will ask her to post it but just to give you an idea, it doesnt cover the face of George Washington on a dollar bill. you can still see his hair. smaller then a robin egg.

I hate to see birds mistreated at these feed stores. Just makes me ill.

But congrats on the new baby!

And that is why we Love you ! They may be of little value but theyre still living critters.

Homeopathic tablets..arnica. rats its good stuff, you can get a nice gel cream in the states, my mum bought some there. Great for bruising, not grazes. The tablets work for grazes.

well, never been in a store like that so i will take it back before it gets cold. .

took the vet wrap off the baby and boy is he high stepping it !! its so funny to watch him walk. i would guess that he has been pulling against the wrap trying to walk that when it came off he was still using those muscles and walking tall. like a British soldier. arent those the ones that march in line with their knees kissing their chins? i had brought the white chick in before i knew what it was to show my mother and she hasnt seen all these new chickens so i wasnt expecting much, she almost threw it at me and said its an ol leggern mix. lol she was right.

Great that you got the baby fixed up! You will need to give him a British name now. How about Prince William....

its supposed to be a sexed pullet but i am not sexist, prince william it is.
