YEP, thanks Cuties. I had already run across that. Unfortunately the Amazon they mention is Amazon UK as is all else mentioned and none ship to the US.


Packers day here. Well, maybe. It's looking pretty sad right now.

I would just go with the valbazen and either toss the eggs or feed them back to the chickens or to your dog.  Or eat them yourself. The small amount in one egg isn't going to hurt you.... Just my opinion.

Frenchie - I know you understand all too well the risk of drug interactions, especially when it comes to cancer drugs so I just won't take the chance of screwing up the program.
Ooh, and the stuff is at least claimed to be easier on the birds systems.

Okay checking my little cuckoos lump on her "hock" it is soft not hard, but can not distinguish that it is hot... Also checking a little further up the leg (maybe 1/2 inch there is an area of skin that is yellow maybe an area about the size of your pinky. Since these are Marans I know they are to be white skinned. So I punctured the area but drew no pus and also the lump. The lump bled very little and appeared a clear liquid.The yellow are was not pussy.  I then applied a topical antibiotic salve and wrapped in vet wrap. I was thinking about a penicillin injection because I am thinking there is some sort of infection in that leg. Anyone have any ideas? Thinking I will isolate her in a crate to keep her mobility down and easier for me to grab her and inject...

Went to Samba's in Madison last night for hubbies 60th We ate way to much and today we are having a homemade German Sweet Chocolate cake with Pecan Coconut frosting. I need to bake treats for him to take into work so that will warm up the house. Also got a pot roast out of the freezer... My tomatoes are in the garden not going out there to pick them they can wait... Oh I love this rain.

Good chicken news My mottled Java laid her first egg and it was good quality. I was sweating if because she arrived shortly after my flock quite laying and appeared to haven gotten Infectious Bronchitis from the swap babies from Illinois...

Also acted on the tip from either Kris/Rasp on the Emancipation acres lead. Added a sweet little Delaware and Easter Egger this morning. All done with additions to the flock. I am a happy chicken momma!

You are a good chickie mom . keep us posted on her progress.
CONGRATS on the grown up LAYING hen!!!

WHen Is ay her heart was pounding, I mean while I was holding her I could feel it beating HARD against my chest.....no idea and very upsetting!!!

Thanks VIcki!

It was just the one but it happened so quickly, that who knows whats going on. I think I am going to treat for Cocci for the whole flock though, at the recommendation of the vet. He suggested waiting a week or so, to ensure the 2-3 week contamination before treating. Its been about that long. I amnow researching how long, how much, best med, and egg withdrawl for treating Cocci.

Vicki, are you certain it was a housecat that killed the chicken? Sure a feral cat might attempt it but a housecat? Was it a banty or full sized hen? What was the evidence pile? How much of the chicken was eaten?
