Official Squatch Watchers

I just went so I'm good till next year. I lost 20 lbs since I was there last. Then I had a laugh when she asked me about my relationship. She was surprised it had ended, remembering it was a long one. I told her that explained the weight loss. Really it was 160 lb weight loss.
Her response "Of dead weight."

LOL That's what I told people when I got divorced!

Well my problem child is no longer my problem!
I feel a little bad that I dropped him off for his demise but then I look at the giant bruise on my leg and remember why.
Bye Bye Taterhead. It wasn't nice knowing you.

Dang! He spurred you good. I know exactly how you feel, but your coop will be so much calmer now.

I feel a little better at least he will be used.
As much as I hated him I couldn't kill and eat him. My plan was if no one had taken him by them time I moved everyone else I was going to cull and leave his body in the woods to be eaten by something else.
I wish I knew what went wrong in his brain. With his loss I know have 1 of the original 7 swedish flowers I hatched. Maybe there is something wrong with the blood line....

Ouch. My mom likes to say that God made cockerels jerks so you don’t feel bad about killing them.

I know. He's the first to go that wasn't physically ill. That's what I'm struggling with.

Gladys isn't doing so good either. Another one of the cuckoo Marans is also showing signs of leg problems.

When I put everything in the symptom checker mostly deficiencies or malabsorption come up. A viral infection is also possible but down the list.

Gladys was doing better when she was getting mackerel but I had to stop it when her crop soured. I was giving poly-visol but I don't think it's the right vitamins and minerals.
She got salmon for breakfast so I'll see how it goes. She seems perfectly happy but I know not being able to walk is no life.

Rooster booster two days each week and then Big ole bird every two weeks.

Are they getting flock raiser type of feed with free choice calcium? That should do it and of course a fecal float sent in and treatment based on test results

I'll have to try that. I use Feather Fixer because I always have young ones before p.o.l or boys. I was giving Gladys chick starter then was worried something was wrong with it. It's not old per say but from earlier this year.
What's odd is I have 2 bags of food going. When I first just had the 2 birds at the house I was bringing food from the old place over. But when chicken city went from 2 to 10 I bought a bag of food for each house. This last bag at the old house is even from a different store!

I just don't understand what's going on.

That is frustrating.
