Thank you so much, your first aid kit supply suggestions are very helpful. Also am pleasantly surprised that my daughter & I already have a lot of those items due to living in the country with our dogs & horses, who have a bad habit of being "accidents waiting to happen". I just hope as a new chicken mom my feathered "kids" don't get in too much trouble 😉
Years ago my grandmother kept chickens and I remember that when a chicken had something stuck in its crop . my grand mother would cut it open a little bit , remove what ever was there, clean and then sew it close again. give the chicken or hen a crush aspirin in sugar water with teaspoon while holding its beak open. then kept the hen away from the others. a few days. She also had cows, and did almost all the jobs a vet could do. Very enjoyable videos.
I love this video! SO helpful for me. I just got that adorable bag on sale as well 🎉❤ I’m going to give it to my daughter with some of the supplies as a birthday gift next month ❤ Thank you so much for helping me be prepared to take care of our new chickens!
I was a bit amazed by your kit. I separate a hurt chicken. I wash wounds with saline solution (tsp salt in a cup of cooled boiled water) twice a day, direct sunlight and colloidal silver ( antibiotic only for two days). Flu like symptoms I give a piece of mashed garlic in the beak. I feed fermented grains to avoid sour crop. I'm told that olive oil helps them move the food caught in the crop. Bacterial infections I add chamomile tea or apple cider vinegar to drinking water. Soft egg shells are treated by feeding the chickens ground up egg shells in their food. Occasionally spray feathers with vinegar water to deter fleas ( if I see fleas on the dog). I wash drinking water pots with vinegar occasionally. Most problems are avoided by: a good diet which includes fermented grains, green vegetables and insects; Access to sunlight around midday for vitamin D; deep mulch bedding in the coop, coop protected from wind; access to dust bath; supervising and staging integration of new members to the flock; and protecting chickens from predictors. I wear a facial mask if I have a cold to protect my chickens and when I replace the mulch bedding. Planting rosemary and mint near the coop deter insects. My daughter says that sticky fleas can be smothered by applying vaseline on the exposed skin parts. It's all much more simple...the same with human health.
Thank you for this. We just got our first chicks last week. I guess I thought we would live with zero issues being such awesome people. 😂 last night I had to make our first chick hospital as one of them had gotten a little bloody butt and was therefore getting picked on. Thank you for all of you information. We got a pet cage for our hospital and because of you I knew to bring another chick with her. Both are doing great. I just ordered items you recommended and I will have a pet first aid kit prepared soon! I am VERY appreciative of the homeopath options. Also looking forward to trying rescue remedy on our dogs during thunderstorms!!! You Rule your community well and I will vote for you to keep your Presidential status. ❤️💜🐥💜🐥
My goodness madam president you just might be up to 50 thousand subs by the end of the year, I'm so excited for you for all your new subs. If you don't get on again before turkey day HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I got the smaller kit after you talked about it on the live show! I’m going to make a list of the additional things you keep in yours and start adding them as I can. Thanks for sharing this!
Love that golden girls bag. I’m a golden girl bag. Lol. I just love those chicken faces. Maybe I could be a lucky chicken someday and soak in some Epsom salts. 😂
Yes, I totally have some in another kit. But I rather use some high quality oils and save VetRX for if I really, really feel like I have to put something on them.
Quick question about rescue remedy. Your human grade rescue remedy, doesn’t it contain alcohol? Is that OK for them. Because I know rescue remedy sells livestock rescue remedy, is that OK?
I feel comfortable with human grade and the small amount of alcohol it contains. But it’s also fine to use the animal kind, which is made with glycerin instead of alcohol. ❤️🐔❤️
I don’t have everything you have only a few things but I will definitely look into it, but I have a question how do I know if my chickens have a respiratory infection??? I never seen that. Thanks.
These videos always come at the right time haha! My beautiful 18 week old rooster injured his leg somehow. No visible booboos. He's in pain i'm sure. Any remedies for pain? Thank you!
I am not a vet, but personally, I would give him the homeopathic arnica in his water, 30c potency. You might find some additional info here: welcometochickenlandia.com/blog/homeopathics-for-chickens/
Vetricyn? Absolutely. I have their poultry spray on Amazon Subscribe and Save. It's really handy. We keep potato starch on handy for our blood stopper. Good stuff in your golden bag!
Thank you I have been looking for something like this, especially with the natural alternatives. this is hard info to find. I am wondering on a lot of ointments if some could not be made with a coconut oil base.
Why you don't have a incubator .I have a incubator and a flock of 20 chickens and another flock of 5 chickens and the new flock is going to hatch from my incubator. These two flocks live in my back yard in different cages(very big cages).In winters we try to make our cages as warm as possible by covering them with thick plastic sheets and it works perfectly ,we live in Pakistan, Multan and the temp is mostly above 38 C so we put them in cages with fibre glass roof tops which works perfectly. We give them a medicine daily in summers and winters which is mixed in their water feeder so that they stay healthy .We have been giving them this medicine every day for two years and it works well. We first took info from our vet than did this. I really love chickens other than just having them to lay eggs. Please reply. Support from Pakistan.🤗🤗🤗
Hi, Ahmad! I would love hatching eggs but I live in an area where I can't have a bunch of roosters so I have to be careful. I like to take in chickens that don't have a home so that's another reason I don't incubate eggs. Sounds like you are giving your chickens a great life!
Today my Turkey fell off the ladder going into the chickens house to lay an egg I thought she may broken her wing she has some cuts on her other wing I put bag balm on her cuts that's what it was usual for it was for animals on the farm but humans use it now
Any recommendations for a chicken with a bad leg that is dropping eggs without shells? All the other chickens are doing fine laying eggs with thick shells. She was bit by a dog..I removed what looked like necrotic bone and she still limps... It's been months and it's still healing.
Unfortunately, I think that probably will require some veterinary care. In the meantime, I would probably use the homeopathic Arnica 30c in her water for a few days and see if that helps. welcometochickenlandia.com/blog/homeopathics-for-chickens/
Okay I have eight Australian australorps. They're six months old and they're not laying yet. My best friend who got his at the same time has two (out of 8)that are laying . Any suggestions for me would be much appreciated🙏 Kindest Regards Steven
Since the days are shorter (depending on where you live), it may be that they will wait until late winter/early spring to start laying. But every chicken is different! You may see some eggs soon.
@@WelcometoChickenlandia thanks for the reply. Now I'm in Georgia and it's almost 80 degrees today. I'm definitely not doing something right. But then again he only has two laying...
@@outofeden_bushcraft3142 For many breeds it isn't so much the temperature as the number of hours of light they see as the hours of daylight get shorter their egg production declines. If you really need them to lay you could try adding supplemental light in the coop my neighbor uses red light on a timer to make a 14 hour "day". They say the red light seems to lower their agression from being cooped up during the short winter days. LED's are the safest option they bought a short string of red LED Xmas lights and a timer. NOTE anytime you run electricity into a coop there can be a risk of fire this is why my neighbor uses LED's designed to decorate Xmas trees they also put them in a clear plastic tube out of reach to protect them from being pecked. If you aren't counting on the eggs I'd just let nature take its course because year round production puts more stress on the birds.
@@JoeBLOWFHB That makes sense . He does use a light and I do not . Thank you so much for the info 🙏 Now I can stop threatening my birds and telling them they'll soon be fryers if they don't produce 😁😁😁
If they are cracked from being frozen, it's best to throw them out. If they aren't cracked, you can thaw them in water or in the fridge and then eat them right away. :-)
Well, all I can say is that my sister who is vegan and a lifetime vegetarian that LOVES animals so much uses one, and it works well for her. Some folks think they are cruel, but considering how roosters usually get treated, I think they could be a good option for those who wish to keep their rooster. I just think you have to be really mindful to follow the directions well so it doesn’t harm the rooster.
Did it just happen? You probably should get him off his feet as much as possible so he can hopefully heal. Your best bet would be to seek vet care, if possible. ❤️
I don’t have everything you have only a few things but I will definitely look into it, but I have a question how do I know if my chickens have a respiratory infection??? I never seen that. Thanks.
@@WelcometoChickenlandia ok Thank you I will keep my eyes out, it extremely cold here in Michigan 27 degrees with the win it feels like 0, but my chicken coop temperature is 50 de degrees. I only keep them warm at night in the day time they run around inside there chicken run. Stay safe and thanks you for your answer it helps me tons!!!
