Sooner still raining down there? We had rain most all day today. Still got the wind but pink skies in the background. Sure is pretty.

So far it looks like they are both pullets. They sure do change quickly! The light colored one was nearly yellow with just a dusting of orange when it hatched, the other was a chipmunk color.

NO! I am so sorry about snowball.

thanks MJ- she was a fighter- but i think she was just too weak....sigh and i really don't even know what age she was, since i got her as an adult- i thought she'd pull out of it since she began eating out of the spoon...

Carah- no rush, she needs her time with mama- speaking of mamax, izzy wasn't happy i cleaned out the litter and game fresh- check this out...

We use the same set up when we give shots at round-up...although we only ran 65 calves thru this first go round.

Gave the chick 20 units from a 1 ml insulin syringe....about two drops.

With calves/cows you give pennicillin every day for 4 days or LA 200 every 3rd day. Should the chick get another shot of pennicillin tomorrow if it makes it to tomorrow?

That is too cute. I've got to let some of my mama hens raise some chicks. I've got chick-proof some of my pens first.

As long as it is regular Pen that is what I would do. Pen-G is a timed release med that we usually give every other day. LA-200 is also a handy chicken med but I don't know the dosage on it.

Yes still raining will stop for a little while only to start again. I'm tired of being wet today!


This is my first weekend home in so long, I am looking forward to just laying around & not having to get up for anything! Maybe I can finish getting everything hung on the walls! Oh I will have to post a picture of my quilted chicken wall hanging that my MIL made!! It is so cool!

bathtubs work well, she can hear the rest the flock, next to the bathroom- the coop is outside the bathroom- so hopefully it won't be a problem reintegrating her

Mr Les I have a question for you when you get finished helping NanaKat.

I want to wait so I don't confuse the issue.
