You said you were thinking about getting goats anyway. They are already yours. I would feel a little sorry for her if she is in dire straights exept for the fact that she never even came to check on them. If they were my goats and I had no place to keep them, I would still keep in contact...

Quote: Thank you. I actually had some prescription strength antibiotic ointment that was prescribed for my daughter. The Dr. said it was 100 times better than Neo. That is what I used and I think it did wonders. We put it on him using a q tip which took forever because the wound was huge...

I hope not! I'm sure he does though because when he came in our yard the second time, he got away and was no where to be seen! I am with you on the fence! We don't have a huge yard but we probably have a couple of acres all together and my husband said it would cost about $5,000 to put up a...

Not sure, but I have a JG hen and a roo and they have black ear lobes...no white at all. She is very pretty!

I would give her some oyster shell as well. The calcium will help her build stronger shells and it may double as grit to help with the pasty butt. I have only dealt with chicks having it and with that I hold them down in some warm soapy water until it is loose enough to dislodge. Hope she is OK.

Yes, I am all for SSS! We only have a BB/Pellet gun and this dog is huge with thick fur! I don't think it would phaze him. We have even considered getting a 22 just for this dog...and the coons too of course! My husband told the ACO to tell the owners that the only reason their dog isn't...

Quote: I read "pop them with a .22" just as I glanced over at your avatar...and then I lol'd! Oh, me too! That is so cute! If you get one in your trap and don't want to shoot it, please don't relocate it! I don't know what your laws are, but here we can just load up the trap and take it...

I don't think it would hurt them either. I wouldn't let my little one's out in the rain though. My chickens hate to get wet! You should see them scatter out of the garden when the sprinkler comes on!

Fast forward to a couple of months later...Rocky is almost 100% back to normal! The only thing he is still missing his long tail feathers but I think those are even growing back. On Friday, the same exact dog was back in our yard! Fortunately, my oldest daughter was home and saw it before it...

That is very sweet. I appreciate all the kind words. I took graham crackers out today and was still looking for her. I keep waiting for her to waddle up to me to get her snack.

Thank you so much. Each day does get better. Things could have been a lot worse...they could have all gotten sick and died. So far, none of our others show any signs of the disease. I pray it stays that way and we are watching them all closely. I told my husband...no more flea mrk...

Quote: Thank you. That is EXACTLY what my husband said! I really do think that is what she had. She was sleeping alot and very listless. She had lots of mucus coming from her beak...so much that when she would shake her head, it would get on you and her back would stay wet and sticky. Her...

Thank you so much to everyone's great advice and kind words. I am trying not to blame myself. My 8 yr. old is still taking it hard. I HATE shopping, but I took her to the mall today just to get her mind off of Babs. I even took her to Sams and offered to buy her a big box of candy bars and...

I didn't think about an air bubble! I used to be a phebotomist, you would think I would know how to use a needle, but that was a long time ago. I thought it was the breast. I kept feeling and feeling and it was so hard to tell. She is (was) all feathers and it felt like muscle but may not...

I guess each situation is different, but I also have bantam cochins. Mine live just fine along with my Jersey Giants. JG's are very large! My lil cochins look like babies compaired to them. Mine are free range so I believe that makes a difference. They are not "cooped" up together. I think...
