Once you started pulling fish you'd forget the cold

I just got home fromICE FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! had a blast!!!! This didn't work as planned though. We went to the first lake and walked out. Got almost where I wanted to be and the ice started to crack....
I spudded a hole. It was only on about an inch Thick. :/ So we went to Little Lake ICE wasn't great but we were careful. I had fun though. I didn't catch a bunch of big fish. We only had about an hour to fish by the time we finally got there. I had 5 flags...and three in the shack. But unfortunately they were all undersized.... that's just how it goes sometimes. But I had a freaking blast.

the shack

FLAG UP!!!!

small walleye in the shack :/

if I stepped on it.

maybe next time I'll get something worth posting. :

I've always wanted to try ice fishing. Glad you had fun

Hi everyone! I know this is WAY off topic, but I posted it over on the disease/emergency thread and no answers. I have a RIR that is almost 6, she has a totally swollen rear end. No egg stuck that we can tell. Any idea what the cause is, or how we can treat it?

@Jessimom update please!


Hi - Thank you so much for checking!!! The consensus seems to be that it's ascites, and pretty much un-curable. We can try to drain the fluid to keep her comfortable, but not much else. She isn't laying anymore, but does still eat and drink. She just needs help getting up and down off the perch at night. We are all trying to get the courage to drain it (or find someone willing). She is the boss in the coop, so nobody bothers her.

what bator are you thinking Billy? have you asked on CL and put a want ad? or checked your local on FB and posted for one. I would, ask for one in the farming section, not in the wanted section @rIrs roost

The chick you asked about is doing perfectly fine. It gets around very well. Its head is about twice the size of the other chicks. I think it might be a mix between my jersey giant and brahma. It already found a new home. I asked for updates I wasn't going to sell it, but they insisted on wanting it.

whats the draining procedure

I was told to check with Casportpony. We know it involves a syringe with a needle. It's the needle that freaks us out.....

Sally
After I saw you suggest the farming section on CL to someone else last week, I tried, unsuccessfully, to do the same. What's the secret?
