K thank you I found out about the bandaid thing late last night, He seems to be doing okay with it. Poor baby.
Put down a 2-3 inch layer of straw, then hardware cloth over it, steak it down then cover it with some sand and more straw. You should have better luck with that mud, atleast give the chickens an 3x5 area or larger.I will think about it, if i did i would have to move everything and i think the hens wouldn't follow me to a new place, and some feeders are atached to a tree. and they have killed one of the hens to eat so i feel bad for feeding them now
In western Oklahoma, we would love to have some of that mud, for a few days would be nice!!!they are only ever in that part for the feeding, the rest of the field is like this:
the pen is terrible today, everyone was fed in the shed apart from the lower ranking ones who were sharing the outside feeder, under the shed its is about 5 or 6 cm high with water and for some reason the orpington chick and a ex batt happily stood in the middle, that is the only time the orp chick has left its mother! (the mother was in the shed with the orp chicks brother)
Well we're getting close to the Central Indiana Poultry Show deadline for entries. I may have to give ya a call and take that sweety to the big show and show her for ya. We can talk and I can come over and set the date up for her to go. This show is always been my favorite to go to. And I know the UOC is trying to get more folks to show splashes to better the chances of the APA accepting them into the SOP. So this maybe good for all to let her go.
I am liking this Blue fella for a future boyfriend
That looks like a liver fluke infested field with very poor soil and grass. I spent 2 years in the UK teaching riding, so I know.they are only ever in that part for the feeding, the rest of the field is like this:
