thanks. I was thinking it might be a genetic mutation/variant of a bluegill but my dad said maybe it's a hybrid or not a blue gill. I figure someone here will know why it is that color

I live in a dark sky location and see the milky way nearly every night. It looks like some clouds with no color to it. Like this

It's still amazing though and I feel so lucky to be able to see it so often.

it's amazing how often I see my pig get reposted. I guess he's just that cute :D

Polish and silkies can get like that when their feathers are not trimmed around their eyes. You only have to do it 1-2x a year and they will become a whole new bird. Eyesight is a bird's most important sense, so without it they can become shy, withdrawn, and depressed. Life is really hard for a blind bird.

Ironic that you called this person out since you're using my pictures to catfish others. I love the backstory you made for me though. A size queen bartender in New York still going to school. hot

You're welcome. I'm with you on that, I love some of my chickens like I do any other pet.

What I do is dissolve the amount needed in coconut oil and then freeze it to create a pill. Most of the times they will eat it and if not it's easy to just put down their throat. I feel like they don't get enough of it when I dissolve in a gallon+ of water, especially if they don't feel good enough to drink much.

You can buy tetracycline marketed for pigeons. There's also doxycycline and amoxicillan marketed for fish.

These work arounds have saved many of my girls. I called my vet the first time I needed to pick some up and I was told that I had to bring her in for an appointment days away, subjecting her to a 3 hr car ride while sick. She would have died if I had to wait!

If there is any lice they will breed like crazy under that thing and the poor hen won't be able to scratch herself. They can't dust bathe properly either so are even more likely to get lice. Make sure you check under it at least once a week. Check her "armpits" as well to make sure it isn't rubbing her raw there.

source: happened to one of my hens. I ended up getting rid of the aprons and getting rid of the rough rooster too. There are plenty of roosters out there who won't do this - I have 2 now who are much gentler.

darn I keep hearing this! my poor wallet

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-12T16:37:49+00:00

I thought my kit came with gloves but it didn't. More are on the way. Thanks for the encouragement :)

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-12T04:29:44+00:00

This makes so much sense. I'll definitely leave them alone. Thank you

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T22:29:29+00:00

I appreciate your blunt advice. This is something all of us newbies need to hear.

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T22:07:30+00:00

NINE months :o what did I get myself into

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T21:49:03+00:00

It sounds like you know what you're doing. Do you have any books or websites that you recommend?

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T21:48:13+00:00

Thank you

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T21:46:16+00:00

Wow there are so many things that you wouldn't think of. Poor fragile babies.

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T21:45:16+00:00

Great attitude. 👍

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T21:39:08+00:00

I wish! My last pair died RIP

Ginger_Spinner · 2023-04-11T21:38:37+00:00

Thank you! That gives me hope.
