Okies in the BYC The Original

The info that I just looked up deals with cattle but if it will kill a 1000 pound cow it can't be good for chickens yet deer almost survive on acorns through the winter.

I figured out the part of the game that I'm not too enamored with... they are too tiny. I'd be afraid of breaking them. At least my cochins are puffy/fluffy enough that they don't look like I'd snap them in half...

I need chickens with substance!

Went out and took a photo of the eye for you to look at, here is it.

The other looks the same. Thought maybe I would go ahead and treat for worms with Wazine, is there something else you think I should give them at this point?

Two drops of the Poly-Vi-Sol baby vitamins without the added iron is about all that I can think of right now.

If it was a blow to the head I would at least expect to see bruising or marks of some kind.

So right now I am actually hopeing for Botulism. With fresh water and feed it should clear up in a day or two.

Al, I buy raw milk ALL the time from a dairy that even puts it in the plastic milk jug. It is own by a USDA inspector and her husband plus she a VET. They have windows that you see into every aspect of the milking parlor and bottling room from start to finished. It is then place in big units so it kept chilled to the right temp. You walk in sign the book and say who many gallons your buying (for us it usually 6 gallons but in the summer it goes higher for ice cream). You then put $3 per gallon in the mail slot,get your milk and your done. It is Jersey milk and over a 1/3 of the gallon is the best cream you can find. Some times it half cream and half milk. I drive to Tuff City to get it which is about an hour and half drive. I pick up for two families besides us. The other chip in for gas.. I am going this week. Any time I headed for Fairland or anyplace up past Grove I head to the dairy on the way home. It will stay fresher longer then the processed milk in the ice box and it sure is better for you.

Actually, raw milk doesn't really "spoil" as pasturized milk does. I set some out at room temperature until it clabbers, then separate whey from curd (strain through a cloth) and use the whey as a preservative in making REAL saurkraute. The enzymes are very healthy. (You shouldn't heat it...that destroys the health benefit.

That is most interesting! I mapquested Tuff City and couldn't find it. Is there another name that it could be under?
