Happy Birthday Opa! God bless you and your loved ones!

Taprock, I have also had a shoulder injury and I have had a neurological chiropractor and a massage therapist (with focus on lymph node drainage) work on it. It helped about 90%. We don't have too much snow down here in G.R. but we are expecting a melt, rain and then freeze between Tuesday and...

Trefoil - I totally agree with you!

Just FYI if anyone wants goats or potbelly pigs - there are some listed at farmanimal.rescueme.org/Michigan

Hillbilly Hen - Love the pattern!

I think that is fantastic!

I was told to repeat after 10 days. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Great cake Nova! I love the cowbell Farmerboy!

Chicken Rustler - Great insight and much more common than you think! I took a simple antibiotic once - Cipro. I ended up in the Emergency Room with trouble breathing and very confused thinking. The doctor said that he saw drug reactions every day and that even antibiotics were culprits. I only...

Glad- At the bottom of Fuzzy's post is a link to her care page called 'Fuzzy's notes'. She might have dosing information there. I know you can find it if you search the BYC site. Using Ivermectin is a good idea for your original flock and your new hens both. The Vet at Michigan State University...

Blessings to all of you up North with the power issues! We did not get much snow in Grand Rapids, just enough to make things look Christmasy! I am making a spaghetti dinner tomorrow - Xmas Eve! I am using the roasted tomato sauce that I froze this Summer! I noticed that the Xmas rush on...

Congratulations on the eggs! The reason to quarantine your new chickens is to see if they are healthy. They may have lice, mites, scaly leg mites, worms, coccidia, mareks disease or carry respiratory illness. If you toss them in with your survivors, your remaining 3 birds may become ill and...

It will be fun to see if Pat crows or lays an egg! Beautiful chicken.

X 2 I can't have a rooster however! Nova have you thought of putting Soledad in with the feathery dude? RaZ - thanks again for all you are doing! It is great to see how you have taken something negative and made it positive!

You farm looks GREAT Daron!! Lovely photos and thoughts Bob!

MIchickens! Thank you for your service! Opa - thank you for sharing your wisdom!

I agree with Mr. Cush and Theron! Antibiotic and remove the sick bird to a warmer location. Remember when returning the bird to a colder location to make the temperature change gradually. The temperature changes in the Autumn are why we see respiratory problems this time of year. Warm up your...

Congratulations Daron! Great timing with the hawk Nova! I hope no chicken was injured. Praying for the families in Conn.

Welcome MIchickens! Daron, this time of year they have nice photo ornaments for babies at the Hallmark store! And a gift card to a restaurant would be a treat for her and your brother also! I like Burt's Bees products also. You can find them at Meijer! If you want you could by your sister...

What GREAT news RaZ! I appreciate all you have done! Native Beauty - I have nursed many sick chickens with the help of a good vet and don't regret it at all! They were my children's pets! My kids have never owned a cat or a dog because of severe allergies. But chickens outdoors worked...
