Okay fellow Okies, I'm looking for anyone who has white leghorns. I'm wanting to get some eggs but I only want 3 or 4 hens so I was hoping somebody here in Oklahoma might have some eggs they'd be willing to share with me.

Trying to figure something out for supper????? Maybe it will be omletts and fried potatoes.

Chili here tonight. Turned out really good considering I used some substituted ingredients. Tomorrow, it will be really good.

What birds got the top awards at Shawnee?

Betsy,
I just love, love, love my Showgirl.

MJ: Fred Farthing of Missouri went home with all the marbles. His buff orpington took the English class and Grand show champion, as well as him cleaning all our clocks in the Dominiques both large fowl and bantams.

Didn't Bo show this year? He had some Mottled Cochins I believe.....how did they do?

hey guys- is a scab on the bottom of the foot always bumble? because my roo has a big scab, i have treated it like bumble but can't find anything, put ichthamol on it and checked today, still nothing i can find- but one of the other hens had a little one and did the ichthamol after removing the core, then a couple hours later checked and it has drained and she is barely limping

 

[NanaKat]

Is your rooster limping? Not always is a scab bumblefoot. Do you know how the foot was injured?

 

[Kassaundra]

Bumble foot is an advanced specific infection, so if the injury isn't infected, or isn't advanced enough to form the tell tale yellow, thick crapola, then it wouldn't be bumble, just an injury that left untreated could become bumble.

 

[artsyrobin]

ahhh...ok, so if it hasn't become infected- i treat it as a normal wound then? its weird- his foot pad has no redness, just this black scab covering most of the bottom of his foot- would this be a case where i would use a general antibiotic on it?

 

[artsyrobin]

nana, he isn't limping- the hen i did was, i have no idea as to the origin of it, he has had bumble there before
