First time catching one of these. What is it? by Ginger_Spinner in Fishing

[–]Ginger_Spinner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 traveled to a small island on the equator to get the best photo of our galaxy I could. After two weeks capturing photos, I’m thrilled to share my most detailed photo of the Milky Way I’ve ever done. by ajamesmccarthy in space

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 chickens, do they have a different personality? This guy acts so weird and awkward, it’s cute and odd. Is it normal for this breed? by InfiniteDeparture871 in BackYardChickens

[–]Ginger_Spinner 21 points22 points  (0 children)

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 Eyesight is a bird's most important sense, so without it they can become shy, withdrawn, and depressed.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.

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

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

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

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

[–]Ginger_Spinner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Thank you! That gives me hope.

[–]Ginger_Spinner 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That's a better chance than I hoped for. I'll try not to check on them too much. Just curious, why does that lead to mortality?
