If you think she is egg bound then you could try the Epsom salt baths...they certainly won't hurt her if nothing is wrong!

She is waddling, she looks uncomfortable lol Bootsie won’t leave her alone! I just ordered her a saddled bc I made a ridiculous one lol She looked like she had daisy dukes on.. but I think she is in the egg bearing phase... I have shown her where her nesting box is.. she fluffed and foofed it up a bit, nested a hole..that’s about it. Do I give her baths ??

Chili Spice, chili pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, oregano, paprika, basil, etc... I used these to worm my turkeys every month whether they need it or not. <br />Turkey are too hard on plastic ware, so I have to use the metal bowls. Also you should consider using plastic garbage cans to hold their feed in before you are overrun with mice and other critters.Gakkel Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08070016519512585146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-40179386778557059522018-09-21T18:56:52.673-04:002018-09-21T18:56:52.673-04:00Libertymoon...feel free to share it with your cust...Libertymoon...feel free to share it with your customers!<br /><br />LisaLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-57714392255798439932018-09-14T08:23:43.308-04:002018-09-14T08:23:43.308-04:00That's a fantastic idea to send with ppl who b...That's a fantastic idea to send with ppl who buy chicks from me for the first time.

I bought plastic shoe boxes and made a list of important things to have onhand. I put together a few items from the list and the kids that answered the lesson question correctly got to get a "poultry prep kit" starter pack a majority of the items from the dollar store!! !! Just a quick note though, if you are buying antibiotic ointment with pain reliever, make sure the pain reliever doesn't have any "caine" in the ingrdients. It is poisonous for chickens.Shelmariehttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Community-COOP/620811644639344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-41927397682879302342015-01-03T13:53:16.532-05:002015-01-03T13:53:16.532-05:00You would be surprised at what dollar stores have ...You would be surprised at what dollar stores have now!
