Re: [CHICKENS-101] Baby Basketball and siblings
How sweet, they all are adorable. Quite a bit of difference in size! Baby B is the cutest frizzle! I wonder what he is crossed with, he is so large. I hope he is a she so you can keep her for a pretty broody, rather than another he. Cath

| Baby Basketball has developed a 'FOOF' on his head. It looks more like a cow lick than a crest. There's also a photo of all the chicks in the 'moving van' the day they got to go to their new outside home.

Re: [CHICKENS-101] Busy day today .....
Make him swim in his pool with a cup of bleach in it. Calls swim in a tub with bleach in the water before they go to show, even if they look snow white. Cath
Should have been done yesterday but my daughter was at a graduation part and I was at a baby shower ... we have 13 chickens and a duck to wash to get ready to go to Fair tomorrow! Washing chickens is always so much fun <insert sarcastic laugh here>.

Actually the chickens aren't bad ... it's the duck that is worrying me lol! He's a Muscovy and quite large. He doesn't swim on a daily basis, even tho the baby pool is available for him. So his belly feathers are quite stained (grass, mud, poo). I use baby shampoo for the chickens and right now that's pretty much all I have available for Goose (the duck) but I'm not sure it'll be enough to get those feathers back to white.
Any suggestions?

[CHICKENS-101] Sick chickens..plez help!
I posted this yesterday, but no one has answered yet... I am trying to figure out what my chickens might have, and what I should do. I have 20 chickens, and about 7 of them, maybe more, have watery eyes. I have 2 that are pretty bad, more mucusy and almost closed.. which looks ike conjuntivitis. But these that are really bad are also listless, just sleeping a lot. I have the real bad ones seperated from the rest. I am giving everyone Duromyacin-10.
Do you think that is about all I can do? I am not sure what else to do. If it is a simple virus.. won't this alone take care of it?
Thanks, Jen

[CHICKENS-101] Chicken saddles
I guessed someone called them saddles cos they cover the area on a chook that is the same as a horse, But apron doesn't sound quite right to me cos when I'm wearing my apron in the kitchen it is on the front of my body. But I saw a web site & they get called both things, so I don't think it really matters.
My freinds chook was viciously feather pecked by the other chooks. & when we had that really hot weather here in the uk a few weeks back, I was worried my mates chook would get sunburnt, So I made her one.(got instructions off our forum)
My mate would not put it on her at first 1 because every time she attempted to put it on her the chook would get so upset she would collapse in a heap & 2 my mate was overly worried that the chook might get caught up somehow in it.
I needen't have bothered making the effort, I spotted it on the floor the other day getting trampled into the ground. (I was there letting the dogs out for their pee & first I have to check all the chooks are in the compound, but her compound of electric fencing does not keep 2 of her chooks in as they keep escaping) ( I named one of them Houdini, which my freind liked & kept, she is a silver grey Araucana)
The chook still has a completely bare back but she seems ok. She has to keep out of the way of the other chooks though.
I think if it were me I would put beak rings on the bullies. But who am I to give my mate advice she's been keeping chickens longer than me.
