[BusyBearMama]

Other than a calf, it looks like the flaps on a winter hat.

Thank you. Umm. Thank you.

I was so busy looking at my gardener, I wasn't paying much attention to the plants.

Hehe well at least you've got your priorities

Yet when I find a worm, they are MIA.

Hmm. Yes, he was certainly that.

Anyway! I will take tomorrow (maybe

) and get that done.

Lucky you- when I'm digging, all 27 are underfoot and trying to be the closest to the shovel to see if there are worms. One of these days they will get their head whacked by mistake!

Puppy says hi. Wounds are healing quickly, she'd be back outside already if it weren't for the flies.


She's the most friendly bird I have - she was the first chick named, because when I came to the edge of the brooder as early as <1 week she came running to me. She knows her name and to this day comes running when I yell "Puppy" and then looks up at me waiting for me to pick her up (usually because she has escaped her paddock again

). She loves having her earlobes rubbed - likes having her belly rubbed as well.



Really glad I built that brooder and left it put together - it's been great to be able to put injured birds in there at a moment's notice, and the increased height makes it easier to check on them.

To whom it may concern,
I was not given a post number, but I have been told in emails and text messages that a new member was attacked because a member thought it was me.
I was off-line because I was trying to deal with things here. Being on BYC was not something that was going to help me deal with problems in my life.
I hope that no one else will go after some new member thinking it is me playing games. That was very unfair.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful day. And I apologize deeply to anyone and everyone that has had their life ruined by me. My stupidity has cost so much.

I didnt read anything like this on the thread. Not sure what your talking about.

I just put 7 eggs under a broody hen. Ideally I will put them somewhere else around day 18 so they don't fall out of the box she's in if they hatch. Is 7 too many? Shes a Swedish flower hen so she's pretty little... Do those of you who use broody hens put them somewhere specific or ? I hope my other bird will be back out in the coop by the time they're developing, is it ok to move them later? My other hens foot is looking about 1/2 as swollen so I think she's going to be ok but one of my buff orps is just laying around and really pale. I tried having her walk the yard and I brought her inside because I can't tell if she's broody, sick, egg bound... We gave her a little corid because her tail was down and she just looked miserable I went to sick but it's been 5 days and she looks the same. Not a peep and she's not moving around ... Thoughts?

if she can cover them comfortably she should be fine, you just have to be careful she doesnt abandon the eggs if you move her. glad the other hens foot is looking better. did you feel for an egg in her? check inside her mouth, listen to breathing.....

@BusyBearMama

No goat news! Sorry I forgot who asked.

I haven't put hands on her in two days, so I need to make an effort to do that.

Roxie nearly strangled herself on muscadine vines a few days ago. My farm friend up the road was here, and we were outside visiting so luckily I saw it just as it happened. Farm friend said I need to worm everyone, so that's on my list now.

ohhhhh check her!!

I need to remove the grass in my garden. Unfortunately, I can't tell vegetable from plant in some areas.

Same here

He labeled, but the chickens got in, and removed the labels!

That's okay. The problem will not happen again. I am here, and she is not offended.

It's been a long day of waiting here!

One chick out, the other hasn't made any progress. The first one broke free around 9:15 this morning with half the yolk unabsorbed, it turned and flipped and went all over and it eventually broke free, the yolk stayed in shell.

The other one, has a yellowish liquid dried around the pip... Does this mean it needs help!?



New chick behind the egg with pip is named Annie

I am not sure what to tell you can you pick the pip a little and grab a qtip and see if its nostrils are clear or its alive?
