I got her healed with Vetricyn and and Peroxide and Tetracycline directly on the wounds. They started to get infected real bad very quickly. Took about 4 weeks to heal.

I had 4 roos and 4 muscovy ducks with held from food last night, they are all out in the backyard atm, swimming in their last warm day duck pond and eating. Tonight at 530, 2 friends are coming over to help me cull 4 muscovy ducks, all my roosters and Jeanette, my non laying ameracuna hen. And Nugget, my poor haffie roo. He's getting too loud and we weren't able to caponize him.

Reginald is doing better and hanging with Cookie. He eats like a pig, too much too fast. I have to keep monitoring his food intake. He is protesting this. With a quieted scream. It's kinda pathetic. Nugget sounds like a screaming baby. It must stop, b/c he and Lenny are the ones starting off the crowing contest with the 15 others. Yes. It is crazy. So I scatter boss and oats everywhere and ahhh peace again.

Now it's time for me to get my duck/rooster wrangling clothes on, time to gather everyone up headed to freezer camp. It's now or never. And there's too much that needs to get done today to dilly dally before the below zero weather comes back with a vengance.

I hope the processing goes well!

I need to process some soon too. The CCL cockerels were striking up a boys choir this morning...It was way out of tune and Pitchy Dogg!

I flush the wounds with Saline and a little bit of baytril, took a good month for her to walk properly the one tooth grazed a ligament

Kiusa and Vaiva luckily have very soft mouths. Kiusa once brought me a Mickey D's cheeseburger, there was not a single hole in the paper they wrap them with. That's pretty good.

DK, good luck with the processing.

That's the problem with disliking social occasions, if you don't go to them, you can't make new friends, and then you'll end up with less and less people to talk to if someone goes away.

I do go to those horrid things on occasion...... but I am highly picky when it comes to friends (maybe that should read, very difficult to get along with)

Haha your good chicken people Alaskan.

Anyone on here know someone in Northern Minnesota (just a tad West of Two Harbors), who would be willing to do some heavy lifting handyman stuff for my crazy older sister?

I need to have a wood stove delivered (I can get that part done), but I need someone to make a path through her junk to get the stove to the spot for the stove.. and then install the stove.

Also, someone who could deliver and stack up a bunch of wood, and hay for her.

And yep, I would pay.
