I can have 4 chicks on my lap and work on my laptop! Heaven help me if the boss calls on Teams Meeting, and 4 little heads pop up into the screen

At least you get the unanimous vote!!

Remember Petunia this past summer, and her impacted crop, she had the formatted grain breath and all.

5 weeks she was like that; I gathered the equipment to do a crop surgery but had some delays due to my theatre nurse (BIL) not being available.

In the meantime I had drenched (dosed) her a few times with Anti Gaz ( https://www.drugs.com/vet/anti-gaz-emulsion-can.html ) which is used for colic and constipation, it helps to break up impactions.

I was also massaging her crop a couple times a day.

Then on the day we were going to so the surgery, I checked her that morning to do the massage and it was gone! To say I was freaked out would be a simple statement. I imagined I had somehow ruptured the crop and the contents were floating around in there.

But she seemed fine so I just kept an eye on her, and a few days later she went into a heavy moult.

Now a few months later she is looking great and I haven’t seen her crop impacted.

I can only assume that the Anti Gaz did it’s job and helped break up the material stuck there for over 5 weeks.

I would try some Anti Gaz and massage. Also limit her intake.

Thank you!
Anti-gaz is a Canadian thing. I can’t get it here.
The active ingredient is docusate/dioctyl which I can get here as a laxative.
I need to work out dosage. How much Anti Gaz did you give her?

I suppose it's not like you can return your clothing to the former girlfriend. I wouldn't want your clothes back either.

My tax for continuing this:

I've got four buff roosters, two with black on them. I've got to decide as I can't keep them all, but this one's my favorite. There's an older one a bit lighter than him.

Two similar to this: They aren't SOP with the black so suppose I shouldn't keep them, but they are beautiful to me!

Wow, just gorgeous!



Not specialize, just really getting serious now about it. Up until now it's just put whatever we had in a huge breeding pen, and they do make some pretty ones.

Hubby is remodeling a 2nd Amish garden shed into four breeding pens. I hope to separate them out and do cuckoo, buffs, and paints.

There's this guy I'm not quite sure who to breed with yet. He's a frizzle, but like a split between a cuckoo and a splash. Maybe I should put him with both a black and a white hen?

Yes waiter, we would like the ripple 2022 and octoputz, please bring us an extra bag for later

 

[featherhead007]

Answer. She’s normal, but maybe you should medicate (Valium? Maybe)

I didn’t mean the chicken!

What's the plural? Ends in -pus like octopus, for which the plural is octopi. Logically, it should be platypi......but the English language is ANYTHING but logical.View attachment 3995462

Venting is good. That's one way! I might try that sometime!

Hopefully, none you really liked though.
