Okay, WOW! All that rooster business generated alot of chatter.

On that same subject, does anyone have a young (<1 month old) EE/Amer roo, OR Speckled Sussex roo, OR SLW roo??

Got some young pullets, DW said she wouldn't mind having a roo for them. SO I'm like !#@$*&^%

I BETTER TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS WHILE SHE'S ON THIS KICK!!!!!

Well, my silver laced wyandotte roo is promised now. But I still have the silver laced wyan/americauna cross. He's a very pretty boy, white with the rosecomb. Let me know if you're interested in him, he's young, from last summer hatch and not a year old yet.

Thanks Joy but he's a bit too old, these girls aren't quite a month old yet. I was hoping to find a youngin' to raise up with these girls. ANYONE ELSE!??!?

Hurry, she's in a trance!! Quick, before she changes her mind.

Did the vet give her any Banamine? I lost my first horse to colic so I know how rough it can be....sending good horsey vibes your and her way. I really hope she improves through out the night!

She has had 3 shots of Banamine. I have another on hand. I gave her the third Saturday morning.........she improved after walking another 2 hours after the shot. She is doing better, as of this afternoon at 4 - but still can tell she doesn't feel good & her usual self.


Our vet said usually after one shot of Banamine, within a couple of hours, he sees an improvement. After two shots, and no improvement, none of us held out much hope. Well I did because she was still standing Saturday morning!

Old girl fooled them... Here are couple of pics of her

.... This was taken Nov 2010

Checking to see if the goats left anything LOL


In this one - the one behind her is her son

Oh gosh, that's not a youngin' - that's a BABY!!

I can't even tell most roos at that age. Are you sure you don't already have one ... and you just don't know it yet.

 

[FarmerJohn3285]

LOL Yes, they are babies

DEF sure they are pullets. Ordered & bought that way!!

They say to expect one at least to be wrong. One time I did get one roo out of 15 girls. The only Roos I have are olive ethers. About 16 weeks old but not crowing yet.

Thanks for the words of "faith" Joy and Sus.
