went to the "wiki-how" website and followed their instructions. We have done the second soak for thirty minutes. She's back in the coop but still limping. She is eating and drinking water so we will continue to keep an eye on her. Tonight is supposed to be cold so we made sure that she was dried with a hair drier! Keep your fingers crossed!

Here are a few pictures of my Partridge from Sundance...I am being told that it is looking like a boy so far, but, still a little early to tell.

Sure is a pretty little thing!

I am in love

So the snow has arrived here. I woke up expecting rain, and instead found snow. Not that I'm complaining, but I did have to towel off one of the chickens. You can tell which birds hate the snow and which ones don't mind it. My RIR and my mom's BSL were running across it like, "Ew! Ew!" to get to the feed barrel this morning. The RIR was trying to touch as little of this nasty new white stuff as she could. The BR's don't seem to mind, and the Icelandics aren't too terribly bothered by it. The turkeys are fine, so long as they have food to occupy themselves with.

Last night, I got my black Am cockerel moved out to Tooele so that his crowing won't bother the neighbors. Silly me, I forgot to take into account the pecking order. One of my Icelandic cockerels, Gunther, was so pleased about the Ameraucana leaving that he decided to crow for me this morning.

Oh brother.

Edit: Chickenmom, how is your eggbound girl doing today? I have heard of people who opt to put the chicken on a nest in a small bathroom, while turning the bathroom into a sauna.

Loving all the pics and LOVE the eggs Lisa!!

We got snow here, too.. just finished weather-proofing everything, for the most part... still need to hang lights at my mom's place so they get light during regular sun hours, it's pretty dark in there...

Sorry to hear there might be another egg-bound hen happening, good luck with that... wonder how Hattie is doing with her hen??

Snow day

Most of my girls are staying in the run unless they absolutely have to come out. What's funny to me is that my blue Am (a cold-weather beed) refuses to set foot in the snow. And my Leghorn (warm-weather breed) has already figured out that the snow isn't going anywhere, so she might as well make the best of it. I caught sight of her chugging through it like a jogger on a brisk morning. One nice thing about this snow is that most of the chickens that don't like to be held are now very amiable when I pick them up to cuddle them, hee hee.

Red III, Blondie spent the night on a nest and today we got our usual five eggs....so guess she's ok. Soaking her seemed to have helped I guess. One good thing....now I know how to bath a chicken if I want to enter them in the fair!

But I hope never to have one egg bound again! I know she's sore!
