INDIANA BYC'ers HERE!

[CCCCCCCCHICKENS]

I'm pretty depressed right now. My Phyllis died in my arms this morning. After she was gone I was able to do a much better exam. She had several places on her head that looked like she'd bn pecked pretty hard. She must have bn weak and not eating for a few days because she was all boney. I checked her sick box and after four days in there I didn't see a single poo. Either she had some kind of internal blockage or she got hold of something to eat that she shouldn't have.
When my girls Free range there is no fences or "boundary" markers between my acreage and our neighbors property. The neighbor to my north is a Horder and his yard is horrible! No telling what they get into while over there, but there's no way to stop their exploring short of standing there with a broom and chasing them back home. I'm going to miss my Phyllis's crazy antics, she was an amazing little girl. :,(

Aww, sorry about Phyllis. She was a pretty girl. And you saying blockage made me think, was she old enough to lay? I went back to see her in the pics and she looked young, but looks can deceive. I know figuring it out know won't bring her back, but maybe give some closure and maybe help in another situation. Again sorry about your girl

Hello fellow Hoosiers! I just joined BYC today and was kindly pointed to this forum from member 'number9' (thanks!).

I am in Danville, about 15 miles west of Indy, and I'm glad to find so many people in my state that are as crazy about their chickens as I am

Currently I have barred rocks, golden buffs, leghorns, pioneers, one ameraucana (pictured), and I'm looking to get some assorted standard phoenix by the end of June.

I look forward to learning about local chicken resources, shows, and basically anything chicken related.

Welcome! This is a very cool place to meet a LOT of other Indiana chickeners.

I'm so sorry for your loss. For such small creatures, they hold such big places in our hearts.

We're totally starkers here! :-D

The powder is a half teaspoon per gallon to 1 teaspoon. You also don't need to stop eating eggs if you don't have thyroid problems.

Sorry for the delay, I use 1/4 teaspoon in a qt of water

Try restarting your computer

Well, it has crashed 5 or 6 times today and I have had to reboot it and hard start it each time, so I think the computer may be on it's last legs - I wish someone would have informed it we have to get a coop so it needed to wait a month before it could die!

Pm me details on your computer. Manufacturer and model number and what version of windows you're running. Also start backing up all of your files, anything you don't want to lose. Save them to cloud storage or flash drives or anything, just save them so you dont lose them. I can probably resurrect your machine for no cost , but losing files is part of the process. You're in Indianapolis, right?
