Karen, Thanks for checking this with your Mom. When you mentioned an impacted crop I didn't see how this would cut off the airway, but I looked it up on the...
Jessi, does she wear diapers, like the ones Ruth sells? Yes, she really is a people chicken. When she was so bloody and hurting, she would mostly drink and...
Since they are bred to be eating machines, the more they eat the more meat they produce, he was no doubt ready for dinner when you came home and when he saw...
Adding the oil will cause some diarrhea so be prepared LoL But if his crop isn't impacted (hard and not emptying between meals) then it isn't necessary. A bit...
She hasn't started wearing the diapers yet but when she fills out a bit she will. We just follow her around with paper towels LoL. Luckily everything has been...
I didn't know if I had been thrown off the list or what the heck was happening. Last I heard, someone had a chicken who had been choking. That was a month...
Not everyone- I had wondered the same thing, but I don't really have anything to add. I'd like to hear some good news, though, so if you or anyone else has...
I was wondering why no posts were coming through, too. Probably most everyone is busy with one thing or another. I am fostering a six-year-old female...
I know it sounds weird, but I'm just not on my computer as much, since I've become unemployed, and when I am, it's a job search thing. Â But if you'd like...
I believe he chokes on water too. He would drink, stop, hold his mouth open with what seemed to be difficulty breathing for seconds, then would continue with...
He tried the mash of pellets/water/grapes. Took a few bites and left it. This am he didn't eat like usual. Maybe 1/4 cup when usually it's at least 1/2 cup....
Well, glad to hear from Sandy and Jane. I hate being the only one here. Glad too that Jessi wrote me about Freedom, that she is outside with the other...
Ha! That's hilarious! Thanks for the laugh, Anita. I hope you enjoy your time with your new friend! Sandy ... From: Anita Bingamon Date: 3/6/2009 5:03:26 PM ...
Thank you, Jane. I sure know what you mean when you must spend your time
on-line job searching. My hubby's been doing that for the past several
months!...
Hi Everyone... If I remember rightly most of you have the broiler chickens.. The large white meat chickens.. We run a rescue in Norfolk, England. Normally...
Hello Jo, Corn will really pack the weight on. It's essentially candy for chickens - high on calories and low on nutrients. My Betty does well on controlled...
Hello, I have a broiler chicken who is actually a pet/house chicken. After his first 6 months he no longer wanted to go outside much, except for nice days so...
Hi, Jo, Â Corn is kind of chicken junk food. Lots of empty calories, which these birds don't need. You might see if something more balanced is available....
Oh dear, I would certainly hesitate to add any scratch or any grains, for
that matter! You've got a little butterball on your hands, and the poor guy will...
My beautiful little girl passed away this afternoon. The last two months she had been slowing down, and I could tell she hadn't been feeling very well. Betty...
Well, it would seem there were many factors at work, and my poor little feathered T. Rex, Bianca, has passed to that great chicken run in the sky, where I am...
Ruth, I emailed you several times and didn't hear from you, so I was concerned. Does this mean your sweet Betty passed away? I'm assuming it does and if so,...
Dear Ruth, I'm so sorry about you losing Betty. I know you will miss her voice and her sweet face, but take comfort in the fact that she knew she was loved by...
I'm worried about Bianca. She's around a year old, and despite my best efforts to control her weight, has packed on an alarming 17 pounds. She's at least...
Hi Karen, It seems Yahoo is having its gremlins again. Betty's Freedom Day was in April. Yes Betty passed away August 31, yesterday. She would be 6 next...
Betty had a bad heart. When it was hot she would literally huff and puff the house down, even in the ac. Betty had egg problems every once in a while too,...
