In NY, we can get it done free during county fair time. They have clinics in each county during the summer, usually at the fairgrounds. If you call your local extension office, they could tell you.
Anybody out there with a closed flock? I "rescued" a lovely white bantam cochin for a deceased neighbors estate. Good thing I quarantined - she's mycoplasma positive. Anyway, my flock is clean so I'd like to find her a nice home where she can live as a pet. Willing to drive some. I'm in upstate NY.
I had a scalped chicken recently. I did sew the hanging flap back on as a biological bandage. Some has fallen off and there's a funny little tag of skin. Never missed a day laying an egg so she wasn't suffering too much. She's fine now. We call her Sinead.
There's some beak issue with this little guy. I inherited some poultry and I have them in isolation while I treat some issues of neglect. Their owner died and their caretaker didn't know any better. A few have nose canker. A few have mites. All have overgrown beak and toenails from living in...
Yeah? No kidding? Maybe that's why I said Araucana MIX in the first place. I already have these birds. I know what the are and aren't. I just wanted to know what color the white one would be when it was grown. Sheesh...
Barred rock. Mine is very tame. I gave some chicks that I knew were males to a friend and she wouldn't believe they were male because they were so mellow.
