You should see my bulldog in the rain though. he literally lays down in the grass and crawls across his belly to the front door, like it's acidic and turning him into a pile of goo. LOL

I went to the grocery store earlier....it was not raining...
Different story on my way out of the store.
They had the cart collected guys walking people to the car with umbrellas...
One asked it he could walk me to the car.
I said NO! I won't melt.
But I almost did!!

haha! Glad you didn't melt like a witch.

Our goats think they are chickens now though, it rained and they wedged themselves into the chickens nesting boxes to hide from the rain. My poor chickens this morning, had to lay eggs in the dirt.

(they have their own shelter, but apparently, chicken nesting boxes are better?)

Not that hard to hatch but hard to rear. So she has hatched 2 broods recently? If she wants to do it, I'd let her. That would be so much easier for you. She already knows what to do.

Well, got to do something not so fun yesterday. Went ahead and took photos as I went along with my husband's help. Bumble Foot. It's been a while since I have had to do this. Noticed her limping yesterday morning, got it done in the afternoon, went ahead and changed the bandage today to see how it was looking. Looking good!




I love using the biopsy punch. Just the right size this time.



Getting water ready for the soak.




It's so interesting how they are usually pretty calm in the bucket!




Getting that towel over the head.




She's covered, and can't see. Now they lay still for it.




Appears to be pretty large.




This punch fit right around it nicely. I want two other sizes.




Got most of it, have another tool I didn't show, to cut around it...didn't use the exacto
knife this time.




Have my neo ready to put into the hole.




This one bled pretty good, but I smushed that Neo in there.




Then hurried and put the quaze pad on.




Then the vet wrap.




I like to use the sticky water proof tape over a part of the vet wrap, to make sure it stays on.



All done!




She's checking it out. So is the leghorn.





Funny, a lot of the hens came to check it out.



Now after changing it today, I will wait for a couple of days, and change it every two days until it is healing pretty good, then to three days until it's healed. Glad it's done!

Wow! Do you cut the vetwrap in half for that? How long do you expect it to take to heal?

I just love the breed. Here are photos of the other two..now passed. The first one, big boy! Grizz Bear..Grizz, Grizzly..he came to a few different names.



My Toby. This poor guy had a freak accident at the age of 4. Man, that was hard.



When a friend here on BYC heard what happened..she did a sketch for me of this photo!
BYC friends, something else. I am in Utah, she is in Idaho. Goes to our Utah thread once
in a while. I have this hanging on our bedroom wall. Wonderful people here..many!



Here is a bunch of our Missy that we have today. Love her. Probably my last Golden.

Awww! Goldens are so pretty!

If so how?

I am not sure which, I don't want to go to her place risking bringing it home. She said her hen stands, falls over then one leg goes to the side.

Thank you Kathy, I will pass this on to her.

i think it sounds a lot like mareks, def a good idea not to go over

can she text/email pics??

I will ask her to. She is usually home at 5.

If so how?

That coop has something funny going on.in just learned this. This will be the 4th bird to get sick. 3 others have died. I am stumped as what is going on with them.



No poo, either. Only 1 coop affected.

Sounds like the coop needs to be disinfected.

If so how?

That sort of leg problem could be Marek's, but it's not common to have so many drop dead from Marek's so close together. Still possible, just not that common. Other diseases and/or vitamin deficiencies could also cause it.
