One of Daffodil's babies is in the house at the moment. I have no clue what happened but my son found her away from mama, laying on her side in the coop shed. No injuries that I can see but she may have been pecked on the head hard or something. It seemed like her left leg wouldn't work and her head was twisting back to the left. I think she's going to be ok though. She looked like she was dying when he brought her in. I used an eye dropper and gave her a little water and she seemed to perk up so I gave her some selenium, vitamin E, and a drop of vitamins. She seems to have found her balance now. She's not walking around but she's more alert, sitting on a towel under a heat lamp. Her head is a little wobbly but she's ok. I'll post an update later. Hopefully, she can go back out with mama either this evening or in the morning.

hope all turns out well. Vitamins can do a world of good for the tiny ones.
No need to say, keep an eye on her, maybe she just sprained her neck..MC gave good notice on the more severe issue.

Hey, Troyer! How are you?

And cows! Don't forget cows!

Don't forget horses.

my goodness, no problems giving answers...even the right ones are free!

Free answers...wow! Where do you get those?
We get the whole corn..it is not broken-up. T

You could use a hammer I suppose, like some people do for walnuts...time consuming though.
That sounds nutty!

I think most of us have an All American. Good enough to pass down to Bug and Duckling. Lots of locks for extra extra extra (anyone thinking gum?) security.
I put my lamps away, thinking I didn't need them. Guess what? Need them and can't find them. Today alone I lost power probably 10 times. It was quite annoying!

My garden has not done well this year. I finally gave up on trying to get the grass out since it wasn't doing me any good. The flock members have gotten in there too. The three pumpkins I had are pretty much gone now. I got two tomatoes.

Add a good layer of chicken "nure" for next year.

Hey, Troyer! How are you?

Super!

Super!

Didn't forget, I was just going slow. LOL! I want that horse for Duckling, and I want the black and white kitten!

I had a cat like that.
The garden was well fertilized, and unused for a year or so. I just stink at farming with so many distractions.
It is super to hear you are super!

I was happy to see the chicks were under the lilac bush today!
They may have been there before, but this is the first I've seen it!
Lmp, that sounds so gross, but a relief too! to Bug!

That's awesome! Sounds like your flock is expanding rapidly!

It's so scary when you find one of the little ones not doing well. Hope it pulls through!

Has anyone ever used Moyers Chicks in Quakertown? They will be very close to me when I move. They sell mostly meat birds and commercial layers. But I needed meat birds, it looks like a good place to start since I can pick them up whenever.

I know this has been asked before, and I am sure the answer is yes. Hang tight, and they will pop out to tell ya.

Good morning, BTW.

 

[AnneInTheBurbs]

Morning!

I've bought their red sexlinks in the past (called brown egg layers in their site). Really good production birds, their progeny are still in our laying flock. They have a very limited selection of breeds, but are good at what they do have.

I often miss hearing our Silkie roos crowing... I'm sure our neighbors feel quite the opposite! Will you collar them or...?
