I’d suggest any farmers market this time of year or I guess any mega mart style place for your nonperishables

I expanded my backyard plot, and created a bigger one next to it. Onions, Green Peppers, Lettuce, Potatoes, various cooking herbs being germinated now. Using 20 bags of cow shit and top soil, filled a couple new 5 gallon buckets and drilled holes in the bottom too.

2020-04-29 14:16:12 UTC  

Beans doing great rn

Iguess this goes in food. We fully integrated the chicks with the adult hens on Sunday night. I spent an hour in the coop making sure everyone behaved, taught the chicks how to use their new waterer, etc...

2020-04-29 17:15:28 UTC  

Checked on them yesterday AM, one chick was dead, two injured due to pecking.

2020-04-29 17:16:15 UTC  

The dead one had his head caved in.
less severe injury i fixed at home.
most severe injury the wife took to a vet before I could put it down.

2020-04-29 17:16:40 UTC  

$70 later, I now know how to deal with chicken skin injuries.

2020-04-29 17:16:50 UTC

@UncleDrMrBaby i think you need to put a red light/ a red filter in front of their light source

2020-04-29 17:17:36 UTC  

i think it avoids them from pecking their fellows

2020-04-29 17:17:57 UTC  

i'm not good in this tho

2020-04-29 17:18:08 UTC  

but you should try i think they do this normally

2020-04-29 17:18:09 UTC  

red lights

2020-04-29 17:18:21 UTC  

also yeah just put em down its quicker kek

2020-04-29 17:19:13 UTC  

pecking is natural.
There's literally an expression called "the pecking order", and we get it from chickens. Its how they establish social hierarchy.

2020-04-29 17:19:33 UTC  

ah

2020-04-29 17:19:35 UTC  

interesting

2020-04-29 17:19:38 UTC  

Its not usually this metal though

2020-04-29 17:19:42 UTC  

yeah

2020-04-29 17:19:53 UTC  

but really try the redlight thing except if they're outside

2020-04-29 17:20:03 UTC  

its what you do when they just got outside of the eggs

2020-04-29 17:20:59 UTC  

Anyways, i have a $70 chicken now, and the vet said that chicken skin is the best skin on the planet. He literally picked the trash out of the wound, folded it shut and stapled it.
No wound rinse, no antibiotics before or after... just staples.

2020-04-29 17:21:14 UTC  

well

2020-04-29 17:21:18 UTC  

use electrical tape next time

2020-04-29 17:21:21 UTC  

save 70dolalrs

2020-04-29 17:21:30 UTC  

he said it will heal fine because chicken skin is magical. He also said no need to remove the staples, the chicken will forget they exist, and the feathers will cover so we won't see them.

2020-04-29 17:22:02 UTC  

I already have 3 staple guns in my big medkit
