***OKIES in the BYC III ***


Yea, that's how I've been catching them. Yes, it was all feathers in my hand and no bird, I had to catch him again. He was in the covered pen though so he couldn't go far.

Jim, Mitzi,
How are the two of you doing today?


I'm fine but Jim's causing trouble as usual :)
You might know the answer to this-my little Serama bites everyone but me-why does he do that? I can do anything to him and he just wants to snuggle but if my husband or daughter try to pet him he tears into them. Does he think he's protecting me? It wouldn't be funny except for the fact he's so tiny.

Arg.. found fleas on one of my Brown red hens today... I really do not like wild birds right now.. Going to have to spend the day friday putting Ivomec and adams on all the birds again.
I am so glad I have cut back on teh number of birds at least I can do this in one day rather than 2 full days now.

Mitzi,
We can't expect too much from Jim, he stirs it up and logs off, he is getting old and doesn't run fast anymore so he keeps to the forum to cause trouble.. LOL
the Serama may have clamied you as his hen.. You may try having them hold him away from you and feed him an slice of fruit after a few times they will be his friends too. I do this with some of teh birds we want to show, place them in teh show coops and when I pull them out feed them a treat. After a few times they think anyone reaching in to get them will have a treat and makes cooping in and out easier. its well worth a try.
 
doing is about it. weather is killing me, arthritis and this weather just dont mix.

I understand that one fully, it's days like this that I am glad to have Mobic, it helps but doesn't fix the problem. The real issue for me is it starts hurting a few days before the weather changes then when the weather takes that swing I don't want to move.

Well she stays in the layers yard or the Faverolles yard, she sure doesn't go wandering now when all her buds are shut up in a pen.
I was putting the 3 boys in a crate yesterday in order to try to lure the 2 girls into the pen and accidently yanked the tail feathers right out of one of the boys. So now I have noisy sad Guineas and one has a bald butt.

That would be a sad sight for sure, lol.

mobic doesnt help me, celebrex and lortab with a liittle tramadol mixxed in seem to help a lot.


last month or so my knees have realy went to pot, had to raise all my pens up so i dont have to get on a knee to feed or water.
cant stand to touch the ground with either one anymore.

been filling out ssi papers for the last month, hope they work.
