You know that isn't funny, some of us are stuck in our offices until 5

I say we all take a weather day (it is such good weather out there we get a day off!)

rough life isnt it. almost kills me to work past 2:00 pm.

i had to come home and work on my own house, hard enough to get me to work on someone elses house. now i gotta work on my own!

oh well, if i want tv i will have to fix my own electric i guess.

or mabey later when i get thru here.

OMG I have a reputation

Trust me, it will work. yes P&B it will have some viniger flavor, but I see kass already said that. I like useing it on the quail eggs because my pickling recipe had viniger in it already so the taste didn add or subtract from this.

trust me cowboy, not all rep's are good things. look at me!

oh yeah, in case ya'll hadnt noticed, I AM HOME!!!!!!!!

Could someone be really awesome and not mind posting the info for nnbreeder's chicken booster formula? I can't seem to get the search to work for me.

I found it and copied it from where NanaKat posted it recently. I need to save it to a file on my computer, too, so I'll have it if I ever need it again. The search function on here is hard to use.


“” This amount feeds one bird””

Feed the birds three times a day for three days a mixture of

This mixture is what you will need for the entire three feeds…. It is not 3 egg yolks and 3 teaspoons of honey etc…. divide the contents into three

½ to 1 x egg yolk….. give the whites to the other hens mixed into their seed or pellets (depends a lot on the size of the egg yolk)

1 teaspoon honey…. .given for energy
2 x tablespoons yogurt…. Given for calcium and also to make the bowel go back into normal production after this upset
Only use the plain yoghurt never the one with fruit or extra sugar in it, not good for the bird

¼ teaspoon calcium powder (if you can’t get the yoghurt)

3 to 4 tablespoons rolled oats…. To give substance to the feed, or use chicken crumbles or layer pellets but soften them with some boiling water first

Sprinkle of multi vitamin powder (only if you are not already giving it to them in their drinking water, don’t overdose) just a few grains will usually be enough for this size mixture

2 to 4 table spoons of apple sauce or grated apple, it must be grated not chopped up for ease of digestion

Mix to make a crumble mixture not runny

If the bird is not eating you will have to force feed... roll into small pellets the same size as a layer pellet.... and force feed, and then massage the neck in a downward motion to get it down into the bired crop, make sure your keep the neck straight, its really hard getting someting down a neck that is bent or curved, the bird may be too weak to eat or have lost the desire to eat…. Don’t hold back…. The longer it goes without this the worse it will get

If you must give it something to drink – only give drops onto the beak or use the crop tube to get fluids down the throat, don’t try and pour any fluid down a chickens throat, it will more than likely go into the air passage and into the lungs and end up drowning the bird


This will give the bird a large dose of Vitamin D, C and A

After 3 days cut back to once a day for 2 weeks, you should notice the difference in 3 or 4 days

Give other food also, chick crumbles, grower crumbles or layer pellets depending on the age of the bird etc
Also have fresh water at all times for the birds to drink in easy reach, remember it is not well so it may not go looking for the food and water, so put it just about under its nose so it can’t miss it

What ïs this receipe for!

 

[RetiredArmyWife]

I'm the same way. I LOVE salt! I use other spices too though. My blood pressure is really low also. I use my pepper shaker as a salt shaker so I have two. Kassaundra I use vinegar for cleaning allot, but I also eat it. I try to use as many natural cleaners as I can. I use baking soda and borax allot too. Growing up the only thing I thought vinegar was used for was coloring eggs at Easter.

Alright-eggs are boiling. Guy, your reputation is hanging on this!
Kass, I can't imagine not salting things :O I don't use pepper or any other kind of spice at all. Everyone always used to blame it on me being a smoker saying it was because I couldn't taste stuff as well. What was nice after I quit smoking is how much better SALT tasted haha!

Mine are working, too! Getting slimey and gooey This is awesome. I've ruined a lot of eggs trying to get this right. I eat them anyway but they sure don't taste as good all chewed up looking. Most go to the dogs because there's not enough egg left after trying to peel it.

Yea. Look at him

. The post boy for what kind of rep NOT to have lol! Just teasing you!


RetriedArmyWife-that's me. Salt shakers all over the place!
