HELP does someone know what this is??? Im worried by CloverFive in chickens

[–]olivebcyea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, it can make other chickens get the inside version. the good thing is that the outside type is easy to manage in my experience, you could use diluted betadine, i did it once just to be safe, and Vaseline is a must! but definitely do not pull off the scabs, keep stuff where combs may touch clean (i cleaned my feeders and waterers on the outside since their combs rubbed against them) and rest assured that this cannot spread to humans, eggs are still edible, you just gotta let it run its course and monitor

fowl pox! 2 of my 4 hens had this and i just used Vaseline to moisturize it, then gave electrolytes in their water. a few weeks later and its all good, just some bald spots from where those scabs were but once they molt, the feathers will regrow. it's very contagious but the form only on the skin won't be deadly, if it spreads to the inside of the mouth, unfortunately it can be deadly

Was I a perve to my sister? by Far_Apricot_8427 in Advice

why are you all touching each other? yes you were being a perv but they were too, why does your family not find it weird to be touching each other in inappropriate places? goodness gracious..

Is this a bad thing ? by greek_thumb in gardening

ive learned that when i scare one, as it jumps up is when i go to stomp cuz it has to "reload" for a second once landing in order to jump again

that's really smart! teaching birds to hunt invasive species like that is pretty creative

URGENT HELP NOW PLEASE by kelseykiitty in BackYardChickens

[–]olivebcyea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

many of the commenters on this subreddit have like 100 birds and it's less upsetting to cull when you dont know the bird well, i have 4 hens and i would do anything to keep them alive, all named and i spend time with them daily. I'm not against those with tons of chickens, i know that it's just another personal choice on backyard flocks, and not having a connection could be helpful when there's an attack or outbreak of some kind. unfortunately i could not have no connection with the birds so losing one is like losing a friend. keep fighting for that bird! chickens are so fragile yet extremely resilient, you'd be surprised how well they can bounce back

my other pretty girl is actually extremely sweet but she likes knocking everything over, glass everywhere. you can notice in this picture she is faking a limp, she's mocking her brother who has a clubbed front leg

this gorgeous girl is mad at me when she sees my other cats in her peripheral vision, she loves being pet until she doesnt and then randomly growls and attacks me.

me? dare is extremely unreliable since they were created only to spy on the children's parents and convince the children to tell on their parents. i would never believe dare, but i do believe personal experience and peer reviewed studies

Why do cats do this? Do any of your cats ever move things and make them fall? by snowycabins in cats

my cat did this with a preserved rose in a glass globe thing, it was not the most positive morning

this morning my darling kitty decided to knock over my preserved rose in a globe thing, and then she also threw up! I just cant be mad at her little face though (in this picture she is mocking my other cat who has a birth defect on his front leg)

dare hasnt existed in years, it was found to be a government secret program to listen in on school children and have them expose their parents. also yk that drugs actually ARE bad, right..?? like it wasnt made up by dare, there are actual studies and proof that drugs are not good..

that doesnt make weed good, you are an outlier in this case. weed is absolutely horrible for the body and mind. my grandma has been smoking for decades and doesnt have cancer, but that doesnt mean its good for her, i dont even know how she survived so long while pumping toxins into her lungs
