I don't know if anyone has helped you here yet Teresa~but what I have done in the past, and I have had several egg bound hens is bring them inside.. use a dog crate or something... Put her in the sink with warm water so she is sitting in it, let her sit in it for a long time too... I usually keep adding warm water. The warm water, the warm house should help her relax. KY is good around the cloaca since you have it. I have also used Olive Oil in a pinch. It sounds like you are doing everything correctly, it may just take some time. If you go to my blog and read about "Cee Cee's Ordeal"... you will see how egg bound a hen can be. She actually had a soft shell egg that had started to adhere to her oviduct and was stopping the whole process. it actually took a pinky to rotate the regular egg, and in the process that loosened the soft shell.... it was pretty dramatic. Lots of warm water + KY mixed with it enemas.

Ok Ok Ok already!!! I have the perfect solution!! Give her this junk that I am drinking for this colonoscopy and TRUST me... it will clean anything out!!!

I can honestly say that I am DEFINITELY not egg bound anymore!!!!

I came on this thread today to get my mind off of this exact subject but you guys put it in a whole new perspective!!!!

I am quacking myself up!!!

LOL...glad I was able to help.....truly, though I hope you are feeling better soon.

HI ALL

Thought I would come over here and join the Washingtonians! I am in Spokane on the East side of the state. My chickys are officially legal now! (even though I was technically grandfathered, eh oh well)

alright Tristate is open till 9. i am going to go drip $300 and buy a tazer. i do not care about pullman laws against handheld electric shocking things i want to be safe and not feel paranoid. better to ask for forgiveness rather than be sorry.

mom asked me if i should report this to the pullman police.... i am not sure. then again what rational person thinks its ok to hit on a 21 year old girl and know she has a serious boyfriend... when they are 56.... i realize i should be safe from irrational people.

CR I need to figure out how you can sell it. I have shelfs and things I put the soap on so trying to figure maybe a basket or something. Do you have a table and if so how big is the table..

Yes they say they will provide a 3x8 and I have some I will be taking. My space is 8x8. Maybe if there is anybody up that way that could do a relay??? To the show??

I know someone who is in their early thirties married to someone that is in their early seventies. Might as well go big or go home and spend that 300 dollars on a handgun and get a concealed carry permit (Washington is a right to carry state). If they ahvent shown signs of stalking or aggression theres nothing you can do for someone trying is there?


So I looked at Stevenson, and its 3 1/2 hours away. Is it worth the travel? I thought about camping somewhere but Id be all a stinky. Could also stay in a hotel in Portland couldnt you? Portland loks like its about 45 minutes or so from Stevenson? Is the Stevenson show worth going to?​

That is great news that almost all are clear, but what stood out in your post was soft water. We don't drink the water that comes out of the faucet in Oskaloosa, we fill our 7 gallon water containers up at Wal-Mart. Soft water, cool.



From the head water guy in our town
"Our water comes from well down in the bottoms. Very high mineral content. This means HARD water. City of Lawrence shoots for a hardness of 100, ours is 325 +. This mineral content also carries a small amount of taste aswell.
"

All the water on the west COAST is soft water.
Our personal water here comes from a rain water collection system so is super soft, deliscious and I use hardly and dish, laundry or body soaps due to the softness, and rarely have to use conditioner or detangler, even though my hair is fine, and all my life I have had to use detangler/conditioer.
We use NO fabric softeners.
Water east of the Cascades/Sierras is more alkaline in that they receive less rainfall.
Research the area where you are planning to move, ask 4321 or RFF they are on wells, I think.

rocks fall out of my faucet.

Not really. I have a water softener...very hard water. I am on a well. Wonderful tasting water, but hard.

How many bunnies? I once had a doe with 13 bunnies...yep, that was a fun one. Fortunately, I had another doe who had just kindled and I was able to slip her some babies without her knowing. Kinda hard to feed a family of 13 when ya' only got 8 faucets......

Creepy and wrong. You need to be VERY clear with him that there is no relationship if you don't want there to be. Young women sometimes make the mistake of not being clear or assertive enough because they want to "be nice". Im not saying you need to be rude, just clear.
