One of my geese developed angel wing, a condition where the wing tip flops forward instead of tucking up under the elbow. I got help on the Toulouse thread. They advised me to wrap the tip in place and keep it immobile for about a week. I'll check it in five days to see if there is any change.

That looks like a great wrapping job! The chicken chicks that were showing it at about 1 week old have apparently grown out of it. Couldn't tell now that there was ever anything amiss.

Welcome to the new folks - great bunch of chicken addicts here!

Can someone tell me how to upload a profile picture? I can't seem to figure it out. I use my I phone instead of a computer.

NanaKat, do you know if I can breed a birchen hen to a blue roo? I have juveniles that I hope to keep but wasn't sure if that color combo would work

Yes. You should get blue and black chicks with the birchen color. Some may be solid too.

 
Absolutely beautiful!

Those poppies are gorgeous!  My grandma had them all down her driveway when I was liottle.  I haven't seen any in years.  It makes me smile!

Thank you. The carnation poppy came from seeds from my great aunt. I can remember seeing them in her yard when I was a child. We have gathered and scattered the seed every year. She told us to scatter them during winter in January or February and best on snow. I also like to order the Shirley poppy for the paper flowered colors in summer.

Kass, watch out, becausemaking your own jams and jellies is addictive!


Question.... is it reasonable to think that a flighty breed might fly into something and break its neck if scared? I found one of my Minorca pullets laying against the front door of the coop this morning, no sickness, nothing I could see, but I would swear her neck is broken.

Yes it is possible. When my two Minorca hens roost at night they fly to the top of a cage that hangs on the wall....that puts them 6 feet above ground level. There used to be three of them up there....

I think you have to use the desktop version to do that.
