Thank you for the reply. If she continues to have trouble standing, I'll take her to the vet for euthanasia.

I'm no expert - but that smells like mites.

How long in between wormings do I wait? I've read 7 days and 10 days. I'm at 9. Should I finish the job tonight or can it wait until tomorrow?

Jess - either

I removed the spurs on a rooster today. it was suprisingly easy and no blood really and the rooster didn't even squirm. I though it was going to be hard and/or icky but it wasn't! Watched a youtube vidoe and went out and did it. One skill down, about 100 more to go!

It's amazing what you can find on youtube! May have to do AI on some of my silkies and possibly my Favs, if trimming butt fluff doesn't help! You can find how to vids on that! Unbelievable!

Ugh...I was looking at 2 of my Cuckoo Marans yesterday and I still have to get out there & trim spurs......

 

[Chickielady]

No clue but it sure is cute! Looks like a mutant hamster and vole cross.

I still cannot figure out what it is...but I did set it free.............I wish I had looked more closely at it, to see if it had rodent or carnivore-type teeth.....it is a cute critter though !

Made Ya Laugh!!!!

me too !

Vole. Come to my place this summer if you want to catch a few.

This critter is 4-5X the size of our voles, and it has a long tail, rat length, only flatish, not a round tail.
I catch voles almost every day out here, and this ain't one of them.
It maybe a different variety of vole ?
But with the long tail...just does not even look voley...far too big !

 

[Chickielady]

We are also voting vole.

"Water Voles"

Aha...so it is a different variety from the "meadow mice" we have here...interesting !!
Thanks guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does look alittle beavery, doesn't it ??
I told DH about how it might be a "Mountain Beaver" and he scoffed, and said:
I know of 2 kinds of beaver, and that ain't either one of them !

 

[Chickielady]

Just to note: Mountain Beavers (Aplodontia rufa) are much bigger than the size CL described, and have tails so short that they disappear in their fur. They are also really...un-cute. Anti-cute, even.

Anti-cute...that is funny !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chickielady I think your ? is an "other worldly" creature from another planet, probably on a scouting mission. Whatever you do, don't let it "phone home"!

The little white silkie is still going! There are 4 poops in the box, although the last two are kind of runny. I laid down extra paper towels until I can get them all changed out. It'll keep her from walking through them. She isn't eating a ton, but she is eating and drinking. I'm crossing my fingers she'll be doing even better in the morning.

And I'm not opening any snake cages tonight, lol.

You must be doing something right then !! Keep up the good work !!!!!!!!
