Hi I'm in the Texas hill country north of San Antonio. I'm from England, hence the name, and we just started with chickens last year. Currently have 6 Buff Orpingtons and 2 Ameraucanas (B/B split) all hens, no roosters atm.

Welcome from Magnolia, Texas!

Botulism anyone??

I noticed 4 of my Muscovy girls limping this week. These are girls that spend most of their time on one of our large stock tanks. Two are now paralyzed in the legs. I have them confined and on Epsom flushes. I am wondering if anyone else has had a problem with botulism and am wondering due to the weather being so warm if something might be growing in our tank?? Any thoughts?

Hello everyone and welcome to the new folks! I haven't been on much lately but wanted to pop in and say hi! Weather is getting nicer so the ladies are laying like crazy! We've been eating tons, and selling and gifting them to friends/family. I've recently acquired 6 ringneck dove and have a pair getting read to hatch any day now! I'm in the process of building a large aviary for the dove and my coturnix quail. Busy busy around the homestead planting, cleaning, building, rearranging, purging... and getting outdoors every chance we get. BTW, I recently changed my user name... Formally Huggstaff13. Our place is called Rusted Oak Homestead and we have a facebook page and have started a YouTube channel so I figured the name change made sense.

I like your new name!! Good luck with the hatch.

Thanks! When I went to bed last night, she had hatched one ugly little baby and the other egg had a crack in it, so we'll see what we're dealing with later today. I didn't want to disturb them too much because the male bird was very skittish and jumpy. Typical nervous wreck expecting father. haha!
