YO GEORGIANS! :)

Well she has not had a "normal" poop for over three weeks, she basically "squirts" a  very small amount green poo, which just sticks to her vent. Her area around her vent was bleeding, and now is a scab and also blocking some of her vent. When I bath and clean the area, daily she then proceeds to have a large discharge of watery, greenish poo, but then it reverts back to a small squirt and blocking her vent. The vet 6 weeks ago said parasites, and gave her antibiotics orally for ten days, have tried Probiotics, ACV as well as yogurt and everything I can think of. Have tried using destined around her vent area. Poo continues to just stick and block her vent and the area around her vent just stays red. Now going on 9 weeks, and isolation and about out of options other then to put her down.

Ahhh ok gotcha. Yuck. Poor girl. I see the dilemma now.

I need your help!!

I have a dilemma

The dog that I was trying to find a home for, ok since I have started to use the shock collar,and was going to keep her has now developed sever separation anxiety.  I have an evening job so I left the house to do that and my DH went to bed leaving the dogs out in the rest of the house which is not a problem, Cleopatra got off my kitchen cart a whole gallon of oil and chew a hole in it, I had oil from hell to clean up, when I leave the house I have to chain her up outside cause she had started chewing and getting into things, but this is the first time she had done this oil thing with someone home but not with in sight, I know she will not do well in the pound because of her timidness and the abuse she endured before I got her.  Do I just go ahead and take and have her put down, or take her to the pound,

Carcar you met her.  This makes me so sad, she is otherwise a good dog until she started this junk.  

Oh gosh.. Bless her heart?? I'm so sorry. I can't really think of the best thing. That's a tough one. She is a sweet girl.

Yikes! I was trying to find a local egg candling class.
Called my county extension office, no luck there.

Contacted the Dept of Ag, Just talked to the dept of ag. There is no one to teach the class in the northern half of the state. They have about 60 names on the waiting list. There are 3 classes scheduled in the next couple months in Tifton and umm, somewhere else at that end of the state. Maybe we need to carpool to one of those?

In other news, my BW Ameraucana eggs just went on lockdown.
Along with RIR and EE from my black Ameraucana and RIR.

Cratering her would solve all these problems!
Dogs naturally like their own space, a crate that's just big enough for her to stand and turn around will give her a sense of security and she will calm down. If she protests at first then just cover the whole crate with a sheet and she will quieten down.
Remember, no food or water in the crate, however, a treat as she goes in or a large chew toy is fine.
She will come to love her space!

wow that's bad, the dept of ag doesn't have anyone to teach the class anymore? Rocky Rhodes and his wife took the same class I took last year at Rock Springs. It was in april. I wonder what happened to the ones who did that class

good luck with the eggs! I have 11 AM eggs going into lockdown tomorrow. I've had my hatching bator running since monday so I could monitor it, and so far it is holding a good even temp in all 4 corners. Going to have to really watch the humidity though, the fan I put in seems to be making it really suck the water out of it!

That;s funny that they need someone to teach the class.....nobody taught anything at my class. We walked in, signed the sheet that we were there and sat down and took a test. We did have to pair up and candle 100 eggs. I was with some girl who had chickens for 7 years and she showed me how. That was it! I think I will sign up to teach the class. I am a life time Girl Scout Leader and know how to teach groups. I guess I would have to go thru a 'teaching training' first. I wonder if they pay anything? Ummm, I would probably love it and talk people's ears off! LOL

My wife and I were looking this morning and the other two places are Quitman and Hinesville, the other end of the world from North GA. If they don't post one soon in this part of the state my wife and I would go in on the carpool. Good luck with your hatch!

Most of us have wives, we understand

It would be great if they would sign you up to teach a class. If they wouldn't pay you I'll be glad to give a nice tip! Knowing how most bureaucracy goes wanting to teach would probably disqualify you but I digress and will be happy and have much Joy today. My test hatch was perfect, I picked up 28 chicks at the post office this morning and 29 CCL eggs arrived with only 1 broken.

yeah you'd make a good one to teach it, seriously!

for our class, we signed in, they passed out a 'test', the guy stood up there and talked for about 20 minutes and gave us 'most' of the answers for the test. There were a few we had to look through the papers to find, but after that, we paired up and candled 100 eggs. I did 50, then the girl I was paired with did the other fifty. I marked her 50 like I did them, and she marked my 50 like she did them. We talked the whole time and helped each other. The one we missed out of the 100, I tried to tell her wasn't a good one and she marked it good anyway, then when we got up there for them to grade it, they made us choose one answer or the other, we couldn't post different answers. So since that was her part of the test, I had to take her wrong answer......

anyway it was informative, and you have to have the 'license' to go sell anywhere other than your home so you have to take and pass the test. Of course they give you those answers.....but you can get all the information just by downloading the booklets
