The Quack Shack

My brother died 5 days before thanksgiving. It was a while ago though, he was 38 and I was 11 so there was a huge age gap, I really didn't take the time to get to know him. Sorry for your loss

I am sorry for your loss as well. I was 19 and my brother had just turned 21 when he died and we were best friends.

Deer meat is good

I am so jealous. Venison is my favorite!

My brother died a month before Thanksgiving in 2013. Venison is very tasty. My husband doesn’t hunt any more so it’s been quite a while since we had any.

Very true, I just need to find a way to remember things Like locking the coop, remembering if I did lock the coop, remembering what I need to do with the ducks . I'm so young yet have the memory of an 85 year old

I double check now because I’ve been known to wake up at midnight and start questioning whether I locked up one of the coops then I have to go out and check.

This is echoes foot, the other Pekin. Very little swelling, has had it for about less than a month (just figured.out she had it) and it isn't nearly as bad as Ollie's, can I treat with antibiotics?

And how many pounds of feed should be given to 22 chickens? We don't leave food out for whoever because of deer and squirrels

I think you still would need to get the puss core out.

I agree that core has to come out but you don't have to go digging right away. Get some clear iodine CVS or Walmart ask for it. Start putting that over it daily after about a week try and peel the scab off. I had all 5 of my Salmon Faverolles with bumble foot last year. It seems the infection won't give up until you get that core out.
