Cluckies: as for your skin condition....i just checked with my mom (dermatologist nurse for 20 years) cut out just one food at a time for 2 weeks then add it back to diet on trial basis. If you flare up u have your victim. She also agrees with more vitamin d but keeping the rest of your skin covered with sunblock.

Cheese is a hard one to leave at the door. There is cheese in the vegetarian cooler that does not match the real stuff but it can maybe get you by if you want to try hardcore measures.

That dishydrotic eczema is a nasty bit of business Cluckies. Miserable. How about cleaning in your house? Are you using gloves with dishes and cleaning products in general? You might do a Zyrtec in the am and one at night as well. Do a Luke warm soak at night--just water and not hot. Put on Aquaphor ointment after and then cover with white gloves while you sleep. The protopic is an immune system adjuster- non steroid so will not flare if you discontinue and may even reduce it to a manageable state while you sort out possible allergies.

Speaking of which I should get some Alavert for catkin season coming up.

Ralphie and Erli like their pukers...lol.

I should maybe take two little striped girls Jerry. So they have a friend...lmk closer to travel time where your at with pullet numbers and pricing with a pm.

That pustular psoriasis is shocking to see, Ralphie. but usually not as itchy as Cluckies deal. Cluckies can get so the hands look like hamburger though... if really scratched raw.

A couple things that may be of interest.

Ralphie, I have had both Black Copper and Wheaten Marans and both have been quite prolific egg layers. I think that you would be good to have a flock of Wheaten Marans hens and entice young Holms to keep the rooster. You would not have to look at a bird with a frost damaged comb, as the hens rarely are affected. In the Spring you could have Holms come down and do a quick artificial insemination of the flock, and then you would retain the pullets and devour the cockerels.

Related to epidermal problems. My wife has always had them to some degree, and they become more difficult in the winter. She finally went to see a Dermatologist last week. He prescribed antibiotic pills, steroid pills and two types of ointment. The ointment tubes are about 2/3 the size of a tube of tooth paste, and one was $600+ and the other was $800+ I told her it may be time to trade her in on a new model ?! But wives are so difficult to train !!

Ralphie, I find that retching woman more difficult to look at than you retching lad.
