Sorry I just disappeared earlier. As I was typing my last post, my gelding got his foot in the barbed wire fence and tried to cut it off. I can't get the bleeding to stop so have the vet on his way

if you ever have something not just a horse bleeding like this place ICE packs on it keeping it COLD it will slow the flow of blood and can help you stop it. this has worked for me with dog, cat, turkey and boyfriend

Thanks everybody.....the vet just left. He couldn't suture the area, of course, but it's cut really, really deep. Bad thing is my horse did this 3 months ago in the same spot and I had finally got it healed up, but I didn't have the bleeding issue. Vet wrapped it tight, tight, tight...there was a vessel spurting blood once he got it cleaned up. Vet says he got down into the cartiladge and coronary band, and will probably develop arthritis in a couple of years. He's only 5 this spring! He took down the whole bottom rung of barbed wire, and there is a blood trail on it a good 15 feet long on it so he was hung up good.
I'm just very, very depressed. I hand raised this horse from the age of 6 weeks old, he was an orphan that almost died.

Just tossed all 13 of my local Cayuga eggs. Not one fertile in the bunch. I am destined to be Cayuga-less.

if mine where bigger i'd send eggs but they'er only 3 weeks old

My goslings are starting to honk! I was outside in the garden and I heard a honk. I looked up expecting to see canada geese flying but nothing. Then I heard it again so I looked over at Elvis and he honked at me. Sounds kind of goofy, he hasn't quite got it right yet.

HOW CUTE!

can't wait till Squishy honks!

Oh I hate when they decided to get in to the barred wire mine did it but as soon as he got all rapped up he just laid there like HELP PLEASE and just a few tiny holes but did not get opened up..... I hope yours will heal up and prove your vet wrong

I'm having the same problem with my ducks. I've thrown out 22 eggs so far. (eye roll) Hopefully, drakey will "hit the mark" soon!

Hello can somebody PLEASE catch me up? I have been trying to get my stupid phone to spit out my pictures still. But I am working on it,

I had my EE's hatch yesterday. I had 7 hatch but one died. I have 4 of them out of the incubator and out with the other chickens and ducks on the front porch. Two of them are not sitting or walking yet. WHAT DO I DO FOR THEM? Shouldn't they be up and about by now?

My sebbie has internally pipped and I am just waiting to see the beak push through the shell. I can not wait to see it.

Well after talking with Jaz I think I will just be passing on the Cayugas for now. I will be getting some Aurora Springs Anconas from her on Saturday and then I also have some more Ancona eggs coming my way from Boondocker lines on Sunday. Hopefully they will be fertile. I am hoping this will make a good foundations for my small urban flock. I love my Jaz. She always makes me feel better.

OMG DC I am so sorry. I know exactly what you are going through. My horse, Beau, did the same thing last spring and now has laminitis. He is 6 years old. I will pray for a fast recovery on him. and my heart is out there for you if you need to talk

And I can't wait to see that beak too!
