Thank you for the prayers for Joan. She came thru surgery beautifully. The doctor only cleared the clot from left leg and checked to make sure the stint in her abdomen was clear. He decided to wait on the bypass on the blockage in her right leg until after the first of the year. She has some channel vessels that have formed in the area of the clot and he knew he would have to do another incision instead of using the wire. Her left leg was the worst and needed attention first. Love her doctor...great bed side manner and very patient with all the questions and concerns the family had. Joan comes home in the morning before the snow starts.

Free ranging chickens are opportunistic feeders! I cleaned out the lovebird cage and set the seed from the bottom of the tray aside for the wild birds. Guess who dumped it and started slinging seed all over the carport drive?

I'm working on two baby quilts while the weather is rowdy. Hope everyone has an inside project too. Looks like we may be holed up for a while.

I am so glad it went well.

Yes, I have plenty of indoor projects, however it is falling on my work days!!! Depending on when the wet comes will determine if I make it to work or not. Well just finished listening to Travis Meyer, and looks like I will be able to make it to work tomorrow

HELP!!! Went out to feed and, found one of my hens with her neck stretched way out hanging down. what do I do????

Some forcasters are talking about really low temps. How low is dangerous for our birds? mine are out of the wind but 9* sounds terrible. Most of mine are Cochins and they stay pretty warm and my Showgirl is in with them but I am tempted to bring her in.

She's still alive? How is she acting otherwise? At the very least, I'd stick her in a kennel or a box and bring her in. If there was an injury then the less stress, the better. Sorry, not really sure what is going on with her.

That sounds possibly like wry neck. Do a search for it and see if the symptoms sound like what you're seeing. If so, give vitamin e with a tiny bit of selenium and liquid b complex, you'll find the dosages on the wry neck threads. You'll want to dose her a couple times a day and you might want to raise her protein levels with something like a yogurt and crumble slurry while you treat her.
