I went to Walgreens to the pharmacy department. Told the person I need a large gauge needles 10/1 ounce syringe it big like thumb size. Cover your girl with a hand towel its easier with another person. Turn the bird on its back and anywhere 2" from the vent so you do not pierce it. When done do...

just an update. 2 days and the vent area is cleared and clean but still fluid inside like a deflated sack. No real change and still eating and taking fluids.

Being able to use the extra large barrel was easy for her and I think less damaging too

Pee yellow. I cleaned her with warm water and used some petroleum jelly and did do a soft search for anything like cracked egg shell or yoke or poop for that matter anything that to me was not normal. At this point I do not have a clue other than I extracted 400 ML from her until she was...

I have juveniles that are all under 5 but the one that is sick is a 2 year old. She is a Red Star. Been very active. Even if she is not laying I keep them as pets. Its really not the eggs. The eggs to us are only added benefits of the girls. They are family like any other pet of ours. I was very...

understatement!! 5 minutes instead of 30 minutes of struggle with the little one. I think if you called ahead it will be better it took me two tries at finding a store with one that size, so call first. Let your fingers do the driving and save the fuel.

Just went and bought a larger syringe body to speed up the process.

Well I have to say very nice write-up on the chicken with a tummy that feels like its a balloon all filled up. I followed your instructions to the letter and found her some relief by draining her of at least 50 syringes of 3 ml and her swollen bulge was reduced by both of us did not have the...

Nice prompt help and thanks. I knew there was a specific thing in the house not the mealies themselves :O

I have to say I enjoy meal worm farming for the girls but recently I have been sneezing after going in one of my 3 drawers or feed or pull out some worms for the girls. Does anyone find that they may have or noticed they have allergy symptoms after being in the "Wheat Bran?" I have the same...

I use a RED HEATER LIGHT BULB 1500 watts I think for light and heat and it seems to be good for them with no bad effects anyway!

Wow what a great reply and thanks for the info. Steve

By the way I have only worked the meal worms in 1 bin all along. How do you separate the bins by. Only larve, only beetles and whats in the 3 bin? how are your binns separated by? Age? development stage. Can someone help me get it w/o reading a bizzillon comments to find it please.

Well just dumped, sifted, filtered, cleaned and put new wheat bran after 2 years!! Hope I did not KILL MY ENTIRE FARM??? What have others done to filter all the used Wheat Bran that is really dust! ? I used a regular spaghetti strainer (My wife would kill me if she knew LOL!!) My formula was to...

Chickens do not see good at night. So as it gets dark they start to head for the sleeper to get a place on the bar to sleep. The pecking order is in place there too. The more dominate gets a place where they want and so on. The scrapping is them getting used to the dark and where they belong for...
