I had to go into the canning isle at wally's house, there was not too much there...huh...I need more jars, they are getting pricier...been looking on pennswoods, one ad for jars, lots of people looking for them too though.

It looks like you have the same problem where you are that we have where I am! Canning is common where I live and it can make the products more expensive to find. Of course I can go anywhere find them, but they cost a fortune some places! Also this time of year, most places have empty shelves when it comes to canning supplies. The cheapest place I have found to buy jars and lids etc. is Peight's Country Store. There are 2. One on Belleville, Pa and one in Mount Union, pa.
I know you are over an hour north of Belleville (from your location in your signature) BUT, it might be worth a trip sometime. My regular lids cost $1.69/pack there. Pint jars were $8 the last time I bought them. Jelly jars are a little less, quarts maybe $1 more. I'm not positive on jar prices other then the $8 sticker on one of my boxes, but I know they are better then anywhere else I have found.
They also have pectin in bulk packaging.

I don't know if this helps but i love that store. (I frequently am in the one in Mount union).

It looks like you are taking very good care of the injuries. I'm not sure that I know enough to be able to do that if needed.

They are listed as flock members in my phone app. I "had" to name them!

Thank you. It's really amazing what you can teach yourself to do when you have to. I can't even get my hubby to look at the pictures, or her because he's freaked out over it.

Speaking of her, she's up and moving this morning and has a nice full crop. I'm not sure if it's from eating this morning or if she didn't push it through overnight because of her stress. She was definitely harder to get water into her this morning since she's more active.

Glad to hear she up and about. Hopefully she continues to improve.

Isn't surgical glue just Super Glue?

I think so, but relabeled and the price raised to make it seem safer.
I guess we should be glad chickens don't need Epi-pens . . . .

I put these in with the big girls at 4 weeks, worked out really well. Five hatched - all girls!

Aweome! Congrats!

Quote: I had no idea this stuff even existed. Downloaded, thanks!!

I need to call her...

I wish I could contact her. If you speak to her, please tell her I would love to have some more "Oddballs" (Bantam Cochins) if she has any left. I'm not picky on age. I told her to pick a name for the banty cochin she gave me, and she said "Oddball" LOL.

Quote: Always a good reminder, thanks!

I managed to get a tiny bit of terramycin in her eye this evening. It was tough. Every time I tried to open her eye, she would shake her head. I'm hopeful though. She did open it, just a crack on her own so maybe it'll be ok. I used an eye dropper to flush her wound before bed. I felt so bad! She started crying and trying to get away

I dried it and put neosporin on it and put her to bed. She's sleeping now. Hopefully by morning she'll feel a little bit better.

Sorry that happened. Sounds like you did everything you could for her. I bet she will pull through. The fact that she is getting "feisty" again is awesome. She wants to live! Now, she just needs an eye patch for the bad eye....

Yes, 3M makes it, and I believe it is called Liquid Stitches or something similar. It is also the same as nail glue. It is a all cyanoacrylate I believe. It is just sold in different viscosities. We used nail glue or super glue all of the time in the salon when someone cut their fingers with hair cutting shears. It stops the bleeding quickly and will hold on even if moisture is present, such as when cutting wet hair. Several nail glues also come in a brush on formula, which is probably better when you have a moving target like a hurting chicken. I'll have to go buy some now too..

I know I'm not Fisherlady, but I knew this answer!
