Thank you all for your warm wishes and I will most definitely be stopping in from time to time. As for my screen name, you are only allowed one name change here on byc and I have used mine already so I will remain ArizonaNessa. Thanks for letting me know about Chip/Pack. He is really good at...
I want to thank everyone here for all the well wishes and help with the rehoming of my girls. It broke my heart to have to let them go but I know they went to a good home. My coop is due to be picked up later this afternoon. You guys are all so amazing and caring and I will miss each and...
I don't know if it will help you but when I worm my birds I just put a shot glass full of wazine into a gallon waterer and block off access to any other type of water. I leave it for an entire day and then remove it. To try and mix up just enough for one bird is nearly impossible unless the...
Hi again everyone. Our move is not going as fast as we would like but its getting there. My first two choices of homes for my girls fell through and I am awaiting a response from yet another potential home. IF THIS FALLS THROUGH is there anyone out there that would like to give my ladies a...

You just had to go and get them wet didn't you?
Congrats! When I had my guinea pigs and my female was prego, I assumed I would wake up one day and she would be nursing little pinkies just like rats have. That was so far from reality! I went to feed one day and I thought hubby played a trick on me and bought more piggies. We were all very...
Technically they are sleeping and don't need it BUT if for any reason including those totally out of your control, you are not able to open that pop door and let them out and they have no food or water then it's bye bye birdy. I would highly recommend making food and water available at all...
Hi folks Just stopping in because I have run into a problem with my move and I am looking for a little help. I can't take my cockatiel with me. I would really like if one of you guys could take him (for free) and give him a great home. He will come with his large cage, birdy basketball...
As some of you know, I am moving out of state. Today while I was going through my things I found a box of stuff from the USDA that I sent off for a few months back. It's all about BIOSECURITY! There are cds and dvds, pamphlets, spiral bound type books, things about transportation of birds...
Hey everyone. I just thought I would drop in and say hello and share some pretty cool news with everyone. Yesterday I was having a yard sale and something really weird happened. The fire truck loaded with 6 or so firemen from my local fire house came and parked right in front of the house...
You know after reading about the colorado river toad I am really glad they come out when everything is sleeping. They are toxic and can cause serious problems and even death in some animals. He/She was really cool to mess with though
Well we stayed up super late last night trying to get the shop building cleaned out and I had a HUGE predator trying to bust into my chicken coop. I just knew that everyone would want to be on the look out for these so I grabbed the camera phone and hurried to get a picture. The girls are all...
For anyone that was interested in my brooders, I have reconsidered my prices. They are now 30 dollars each or ALL THREE BROODERS INCLUDING ISO PEN for 100 cash. I also have several five gallon bucket feeders for 10 dollars each and I will make a deal if you take all. The big aviary is still...
Sorry if someone else mentioned this. I did not read every entry in the thread but maybe they could be snake food. Do you know someone with a critter that eats other critters? Just a thought. As for eating them it would be like eating crawfish. Unless you absolutely love them its probably...

It never fails I learn something new every single time I log in here. Thanks for the info. I was just ASSUMING that since they are used in medical settings that it would work the same for animals. I understand what you are saying though. Just goes to prove assumptions suck
This is going to sound gross but I would have left the maggots. They eat infection and dead flesh. Not sure if I really have anything more to add. You don't want to give antibiotics just willy nilly like. I would try to find some sort of antibiotic though just make sure it is the proper one...
This is a good thing folks. While I love Arizona I love my family too. This move is the best thing for us. I will still come here to this thread and visit. I know my birds will go to happy homes no matter what and life will move on. I now have pics of the brooders for sale and have changed...
