I actually had a chicken with an impacted crop. I watched a few videos and tried a few things but quickly realized that I would have to take drastic action. She was loosing weight very quickly(she’s now the fattest). We got a brand new exacto knife, brand new pack of superglue and a pair of hemostats(they are kind of a cross between tweezers and scissors and fishermen use them for making lures. Being a former trauma RN I felt comfortable with the procedure. I cut open the crop, used the hemostats to clean everything out and it was a lot! A shocking amount actually. Used saline to flush and super glued the crop then separately glued the outside skin. Batta bing, batta boom! Took about an hour. Minimal bleeding, the hen, Sally, actually slept through most of the procedure. I videoed the whole thing and I showed to vet on a visit with my dog and he said it looked professionally done! I patted myself on the back!

You may want to look into permethrin more before using it, especially if you are considering using it in the garden. It is toxic to bees. Some instructions say it is safe to use if applied at the times when bees are not active. According to our information cats are also more sensitive to it than other animals, so care should be used if cats will be in that area.

Yarrow powder works in seconds to stop bleeding and is what we have in all of our first aid kits. We’ve used it several times on ourselves, chickens, and sheep. It is great and not a gmo product. I have it growing in my own yard and is super fast and easy to dry and powder up. Even keep a yarrow tincture on hand for internal bleeding also. Castor oil is an ok replacement for petroleum jelly if you don’t like using petroleum products. It can smother scaly leg mites and also lice on humans!

How did you make the yarrow powder?

How do you trim scissor beak

Hello! A must have for me is Blu-kote spray. Had a white hen that kept getting pecked and had blood all over her feathers. Blu-kote covered the blood so she would be left alone.

So the poultry dust, do you use it on the chickens themselves or just dust it around the coop? Sorry if it seems like a dumb question. I keep thinking of how my folks used Seven Dust on our dogs as a kid to control bugs.

Another essential video for us newbies! Thank you for putting it together - especially as you are moving yourself! So many things, most quite simple, but all organized and segregated for JUST the chickens makes a lot of sense. Right down to the separate gloves, syringes, clippers and even having a segregated headlamp and other items makes sense. Lots of spares around already! Great ideas!

Cvs will give you syringe for free. Ask pharmacist I grab couple few times year for free. They also sell them but free is better

Is it safe to eat the eggs with using the Nutri Drench?

[@soujrnr]

I have heard so many varying opinions on DE. What are your thoughts on it and experiences with it? My wife and I are very new chicken "rustlers," and so we don't know what we don't know. We've had our chickens for about three weeks now. They are older chickens (~1-1/2 years old) and giving us 4-5 eggs each day, which is way cool! We have five girls.

Hi, off topic question... did you ever keep steam mopping? Im wondering if your hardwood floor still looks the same or if theres been any warping because of the heat and steam

[@456ann]

Have you ever had a chicken go blind?

[@TrailCameraFootage]

I have a few questions I’m hoping you can answer: 1. Two of my chickens have bald chests, but they’re not molting or broody. Why? 2. One of my chickens has fuzzy feet and the others peck at the feet sometimes. Is there a way to prevent that?

[@mo.llybeeee]

I'd like to know about the first one too. My 3 Pekins have bald chests???
