Ugh, that sucks. I put a couple drops of essential oils on my hands after I dealt with the stinker that exploded under my broody.

does it matter which one? I have oils...

Yep, got 2 molting here, and neither one looks like they are, unless you look closely for pin feathers.

Ok folks.... Be glad we don't have smell o vision.... Today was lock down for the turkeys, DW pulled the second tray out for candling and a stinker exploded... She's in the shower right now... Any home remedies to get the stench off the body???? How about the carpet?

Anyone got a picture of a stinker at like 14 days???? I still can't ID them.

I would think a vinegar solution. Someone I knew that used to trap skunks swore by douche. Yes, that kind.
Skunk wash for a dog is 1/4 cup baking soda, 1 tsp dawn with a bottle of 3% peroxide. I would think if that gets skunk smell out it should get stinker egg.

Went for bed checks and found my Olive Egger in the nest box. Looks like broody is contagious. She plucked her belly in a day! Nope, nope, nope! No hatching. Got to many taterin boys last time that I still need to get rid of!

When you’re ready to send some my way let me know! Those I might be willing to hatch for, again.

Frozen fruit and veggies.
Lady brings in chicken food for me.

People suck.

Except for Squatchers (and the people they like, and the few family members that don't drive them totally insane).

Just sayin'!

So true cindi!

My gma was always cold too. Do you think he'd use a Snuggie? It's nicer than a blanket b/c you can still use your arms.

I wish! But DH says he’s kill himself with one. He doesn’t have the wherewithal to not stand up and get tangled in it.

@apryl29, Early is about in the same amount of space and I feel HORRIBLE about keeping him by himself like an abusive mom. I can't even put my hand close though without him latching on and trying to make hand babies so I know he can't mingle. His brother is still just chill acting like a nice respectful dude, running from hens feeding babies clover...wtf man? Stinks rotten that Early is my Odin he's sooo flippin soft and pretty.

Could you give him a stuffed animal friend to keep him company and that he could “hug”?


Or would that just egg him on?



Egg him on

Hmmm, the feathers were peachy colored so that narrowed it down but still nobody has any new bald spots i'm just stumped. I didn't hear any fighting, that many feathers surely i'd have heard something? They were in a dustbathing hole so molting is all I can figure but still where are the dang bald spots? I stay confused with these birds.

Or plucking in prep for broodiness....
