Nevadans?

Deserthomestead- I know. LOL we never go anywhere near downtown or the strip. I would rather have land and quiet.

Sandy Valley is kinda the best of both worlds - land and quiet, yet only an hour from all the fun in Vegas!

Someday... I'm remodifying my house and then we will see what happens.

Does Vent Gleet go away, or can they die from it? Do I keep soaking her every day?

I think that vent gleet is a yeast infection. If I remember correctly, you can get some Monistat or whatever and use that on her.

I remember reading something about it somewhere and I've got little bits of information bouncing around in my head... I'll have to see if I can find it... douche with peroxide?

Going to look it up.

Was the wedding today?...

Aw, man, I didn't see this until just now (=7:55PM)!

ETA: Congratulations Aubrey and Mark! Pics?

Yep, looks like we missed it!

Um... the invitation in front of me says it's June 22nd. Whew! I had a minor freakout there!

The rotating pictures section on the Home page of Backyardchickens.com deals with vent gleet this week. Perhaps feeding the chicken some yogurt and probiotics, too, will help get the good guys back in her digestive tract and set it right.

I hear y'all about Las Vegas and the locals avoiding the Strip. Heck, the only reason I even venture into the outlying casinos is the 2-for-1 dining coupons...And then husby and I will only play a $1 challenge as we're leaving (which is getting side-by-side same-style slot machines, putting a buck each in and on the count of 3 hitting the spin button to see who comes out ahead.) All the thrill appeal of the glitzy casino party lifestyle disappears when it's in your own backyard. Kind of like I'm pretty sure folks in Anaheim roll their eyes whenever they hear "Disney."

I'm heading back up to the S.F. Bay Area just in time to escape the triple-digits scheduled to hit this week....still it'll be sweat work as it's sorting and packing out stuff. It's like eating an elephant one chewy bite at a time....but the carrot at the end of the stick is thoughts of it gets me closer to moving and having a fab coop....and, of course, hatching out the little darlings to go in it. (Yeah, I'm a hatchaholic)

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!

It's a yeast infection and you need to respond as soon as you can. Start feeding them some yogurt and ACV to the whole flock because Vent Gleet is contagious. Vent Gleet means the balance is off from good bacteria and bad bacteria, get the good back into them. Chickens can die from this but it will take a bit for that to happen. Make sure to get ACV with the mother in it.

Was the wedding today?...

Nope, there would have been a post reminding us. I think it's next month?

Um... the invitation in front of me says it's June 22nd. Whew! I had a minor freakout there!

Invitation? What invitation?

Does anyone have any Australorp chicks?

 

[2seth2]

Julie Peterson does and she will have culls at the end of the year.

Does Julie Peterson live close and does she sell baby chicks? I don't know her.
