Everything you need you can get at a feed store. One of my 4Hers had a dog attack one of his favorite BR hens and she had a big laceration next to her vent (complete with fat hanging out) as well as some smaller lacerations on her back. I had them keep her in isolation, and flush it out twice a day with diluted betadine solution, and then spray the smaller cuts with blue kote, and use an antibiotic ointment packed into the larger laceration. They also put her on duramycin powder in her water for almost 2 weeks. It took just over a month total, but she is back in with the rest of the flock happy and healthy.

I ordered, and keep sutures on hand for just this reason, so sorry Illia !

Steve Poole on KOMO just said he is going to tell who may be in the 20's tonight. Well guess what we are at 32 right now so I would guess that the weather dart is going to hit my area.
We are once again getting a nice pink egg and 2 with a nice blue tint to them, 2 olives and some greens that sometimes look like they have a very light olive tint. And now our Sicilian Buttercup Bantam has decided to start laying an egg that looks just like the RIR B's. She always laid a slender pointed egg but we have seen her lay and it looks very much like the RIR's. I think our girlz have decided to keep us guessing.

Certainly not my dream coop. I'll never understand the want for having a bunch of small runs and a bunch of seperate coops.

I may have had a predator attack today, but that is in no way stopping me from free ranging my mixed flock of hens.
