    Coffee anyone ?

    I'm thinking Nifty is still working on it. Busier than a one-legged man in a butt kicking contest is my guess. I went to BYC and there is a read only yet. I see some fine folks reading and checking it out...but it's the old format still(?) And my app on my phone gives the Error404 message...

    Coffee anyone ?

    I have not went this week and they are out!!! Dumb work. Dumb chauffeuring. I've heard the crop is meek up here. That cold snap and then lack of warm enough weather, warm rains, etc etc. the local foragers say it's a weak weak year for morels. I'm also pulling deer ticks off the lab left...

    Sour Crop, anti fungal medicine?

    Clotrimazole also falls into those antifungal med categories. Can get super cheap tubes of it on the off brands at Target or Walmart. I'd totally put it in her mouth and see if some that gives her some relief. Edited to add that I see Two Crows beat me to the punch. Ha. This new format...

    More than 1 rooster

    Take a measure tape out there and go measure. You want AT LEAST 4 square feet per bird. My coop is 7 x 6. I can have 10.5 birds regular birds. Although I like lower numbers in the winter. Because that 4 square feet per bird gets mighty small after a week of frigid temps.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Perchie that's what my Grandma used. It does make good crust. But maybe because grandma rendered it herself too. Oh I do too. I tell them to quit picking on each other and to get along. Darn Wyandottes. Trouble makers.

    KiKi I have 5 laying hens but we do run at about 25-30 eggs a week right now. Much for us. I have a foodie friend who raves over our eggs and knows their value. I love taking eggs to her. She puts love notes to the hens along with her money in the empty cartons. :thumbsup

    Coffee anyone ?

    No truer words sourland. Ralphie give the recipe to WWD. My maternal grandmother was like your mom. Mom said if she didn't have an ingredient for a cookie she'd still make them. And I remember koolaid without sugar or only 1/2 cup...:eek::sick Chin--cey!

    Coffee anyone ?

    Scott your up early. I can't sleep and have a big long day of work ahead. Allergy meds are the kind behind the counter that I sign my first born over for so I don't make meth. The only kind that work but also keep me awake. Perhaps no coffee required this Am for me. We can ration out to other...

    Sour Crop, anti fungal medicine?

    knock on wood I have not had this chicken problem. But had a friend that did. There are some cockatiel care sites on the internet that give excellent explanation and direction to getting birds back on track after slow crop or impacted crop. Often yeast is lining the crop if it is sour and the...
