I flippantly said something to someone about washing my hair with coffee, and the smell making me happy all day, and maybe stay awake. I can't remember the comment or context exactly. So, it began to formulate in my brain, and I have been thinking about it all day. Chaos mentioned that it would color my hair as well. I figured it was worth it to see how it would effect me. After two hours, I just washed it out half an hour ago. So far, I can't stop sniffing my hair. It takes all night to dry, so I won't know about color until morning.

I never thought I would need a coffee filter in my tub drain.

I assume everyone that free ranges (or pays attention to the runs) knows the habits of their chickens well enough to know when they are hungry. For my flock, they come barreling at me when they are hungry. For treats, they only come if they see something in my hand. Otherwise, they just take a look and walk away.
I walked outside about an hour ago, and the two mamas came barreling at me with the chicks. Some of the chicks were even leading the way! It was pretty darn funny!
For the life of me, I don't know why they didn't just eat what was inside the coop. Because of the chicks, I do make sure that there is food and water inside. Even if the adults are the ones to eat it, it means that the chicks will be likely to get first dibs on the outside feeders when I open the door.

Our broodies and chicks are absolutely shameless beggars and rush us anytime we go outside, and yep, chicks will lead the way most of the time. One broody in particular will actually bring her brood right into our mud room to get treats (and it usually works, lol). Once birds hit maturity they will usually be a bit more reserved about their behavior but the younger ones are fun to watch...

I'm thinking that I'll leave her stitches in for one week then take them out. What do you all think? I was looking them up last night and for people, the rules are 5 days on the face, 7-10 days on back/torso, and about 14 for legs. Think 7 days will be ok? Remember, it's heavy weight thread. I don't want her to heal in to it. Maybe I should go with 5 days? I don't know.

she is looking like she is on the positive side. You have done very well for her. Maybe because face/head skin is much more thin/fragile than back & thigh skin, the lesser time for sutures would be best, though I am not a vet.
If your thread is thick, it may still seep after it is removed.( Holes from the thread itself) Keep a good eye on it, I know you will. some antibiotic ointment continued on the suture site may be a good idea also.
These are just my opinions, from the information described. Please double, triple check..reference for proper procedure.

crops are full at bed time & everyone seems content...but they always "act" hungry, they are chickens & are always looking for the handout

Aweome! Congrats!

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

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.

Always a good reminder, thanks!


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!

Anne , don't know how this was missed...hair stylist!! nice....and yes, 'super' - nail glue is the go to closer! Because there isn't a band aide made to hold up to washing/perming,(ouch when that gets in the cut) hair!! Have also used packing tape..doesn't look the greatest, but will work in a pinch.
 
OK, I had my suspicion and is proved true. I took Mira's food away yesterday before bed and her crop is still full. I've been massaging it after giving her water every time but still. Can shock and injury cause her to not be pushing the food through from her crop?

Poor girl. I heard adding apple cider vinegar will help digestion. Not sure about yogurt.
