I ignored the recommendation completely. A few eggs with a minute amount of baytril might happen in the few weeks after treatment but for the hen's entire lifetime just seems like overkill.
X2! It seems like a weird thing to do.

I agree.



Ok so in prep for the vet......
Sable has had the following....
Two hours crazy romp time with the other puppies in the run.
A two mile walk (that is all my knee, shoulder and patience could take)

I will be very very glad if the new harness stops the pulling.
 
Sounds like you had fun and got your excercise for the month lol!
Iv'e got a "thing" happening out there with the girls, they are pulling head feathers out.
They just randomly snatch, no warning at all, they did it last spring too!
Got to be hormones. They aren't crowded or hungry and the rooster isn't snatchin just the crazy women.
Rene seems to be my worst offender and Hobo hasn't lost a one. :D
I agree.

Well turkeys are frustrating
Seen mama hen was off the nest so I ninja'd and swapped eggs out of the incubator... so does she go back to the nest NOOOOO she picks the 2nd spot she had last year instead... there were 2 bait eggs there and I gave her the unmarked turkey egg from the old nest... back to the bator with the turkey eggs ,, all were developing when I checked early this morning.
It is 75 already in the coop and the 2nd spot is cooler... she was in a solid sided metal dog cage (from a shelter) so the other spot is better. hopefully she will stay.
This was her last year in the 2nd spot

OMG!!!

re-swooping and now no power!?!

:barnie
 
We are back from the vet.

Sable did well enough not pulling my arm completely off. :rolleyes:

The new harnesses arrived a couple minutes ago.
Sable is finally tired and let me put it in her.
It is pretty nice. It also has a bit of elastic (backed up with strapping) across the back so it should be more comfortable.
It has a longer chest section which helped get the straps out of her armpits. Again that should be more comfortable.
