That is good news!

the nurse at surgery said that it is fairly easy to break a wrist.

How'd the surgery go?

Yes it is. I had it wrapped in vet wrap yesterday but took it off to go to town as it was camo and I did not want anyone to laugh at me. lol

Oh, my vet wrap is teal. Thankfully, I haven't had the opportunity to use it on people (or for chicken injuries for that matter), just for marking chicks as male/female.
PS: I wouldn't laugh at you. =)






Ironically, as much as I fall, I haven't injured either wrist. Hmmmm

I'm sorry to put this here, but I need chicken help quickly!!!
My buff cockerel (10 weeks old) has worms; they're in his poo, there's blood in his poo, and the worms are about 2 inches long.
I found out b/c I've been putting him in the brooder to feed him during the day while the chicks are in their future (and suddenly now current) coop.
Question:
~ What can I do for him to worm him (what is chicken worming medication called)?
(I've been using ceyenne pepper as a preventative, but none of my chickens has had worms to this point.)
~ What should/can I give the chicks in case they've gotten worms from the buff being in their brooder?
(I just gave them ceyenne pepper the other day.)

I think this came from DragonLady (South Carolina). I have never used any of these and do not know if they are effective or safe.


Worming.......MOST IMPORTANT

All babies are wormed with Wazine in their water at 2 + 3 weeks. Wazine is
never used again .

Safeguard 10 % Goat wormer, alternating with Valbazan at 4 weeks, 6,8,10,
12, 14 weeks
1/4 cc at 4,6,8 weeks
1/2 cc at 10,12,14 weeks.

5 mos on...... I check fecals, and worm about 4 times a year with the
Safeguard, or with Valbazan. 1 CC per Big bird over 8 lbs., repeating in
10-14 days.

Coops are sprayed with liquid PERMETHRIN about 4 times a year. Birds are
sprayed, 4 times a year with diluted Permethrin for lice and mites.

Camo is COOL!!!
I like camo but at home is ok, not in public on an old lady.... lol

Or you cango with the yellow, or pink, or then one with starts, and then there's hearts... or then the "No chew" pattern.

I already used the other colors... only camo left. lol

Quote: Vet wrap is great for everything. I have had to use it on a chicks leg from a predator trying to pull him thru the fence and pulled his let out of it's socket. And on a turkeys wing from it flying thru the run and hitting a post and hurt it's wing. And my DH cut his hand on a gate working cows and I had to bandage it and put the vet wrap over it to keep the bandage on. It is very handy!

It's a good thing you have not hurt a wrist.

I was wondering I have not shown any birds but some are telling me I should. I am leery to take any birds to any kind of competition as I do not want to bring home my birds and get my other birds sick. I just don't think they disinfect the areas where they have the animals. Thank you for sharing with me.

no prob. Because they are caged next to each other, I really only worry about anything airborn. Usually they don't contact eachothers droppings.

Sorry, I have never had to do it either. I would post on the disease thread and do a overall BYC search and read some threads already out there.

I had some vein removal done on my legs a few years ago. I underwent several procedures and after each was wrapped from toe to groin with a variety of gauze, vet wrap, and ace bandages. Of course they didn't call it vet wrap, but it was the same thing, only in boring old skin color. I now have a drawer full of ace bandages, and recycled vet wrap ever ready for any medical emergency. I also aquire a small length of it anytime I give blood. Those I get in color. ;-)

Thank you so much!
This is the best help I've gotten.

Quote: I think everyone should have plenty on hand for emergencies. I need to pick up some more today when we go to TSC to pick up feed. I would never have thought of asking for some when giving blood. lol that's funny.

Puddin Fluff I know a lot of people take their birds to shows and fairs and that is nice.

When you are done giving blood theyput a little pad on the spot hey take the needle out then wrap it down with vet wrap to hold it in place. I did bumblefoot surgery a wile back and the bird had vet wrap on that said "Give blood, save lives". Lol

I like to bring different breeds just to show fairgoers that not all chickens are the same.
