What’s the bucket of warm water for? To drown the lice/mites? Hope she feels better.

Yes, it kills any bugs that might be lurking. I had a look just now and didn’t see anything, but apparently some of these parasites can be like dust. And they can actually kill chickens.

Chooks don’t like to get wet, but they’ll submit to it. Show chickens are usually washed and blow-dried before a show, and their combs and wattles are greased up with Vaseline. Like little feathery Honey BooBoos.

. . . imagine how the chicken feels. Mad as a wet hen, I imagine.

I shall psychically beam transatlantic healthful poultry vibes from Sarasota. Let me know when they arrive! I hope V recuperates quickly.

Sounds like a spa day 🙂 Will you give her a blow-dry and style too? Every chick needs pampering now and then.

More diatomaceous (?) earth? I learned of that magical product here, and I’ve been dusting it around the house and garage (spider havens) ever since. I can’t be sure it is working, but I like that I did something that really might help and I *know* doesn’t hurt.

I figured the hot water was for chicken soup in case one of your other chickens gets sick.

Here’s to better health for your pretty girl!

My daughter is getting her dog all vetted up so she can put the dog on an airplane to go live in England…once my daughter gets to go live in England, which is even more fraught and expensive. Pets are expensive, even chickens born and bred in southern England!

I often wonder about flying animals. I think it is dangerous to put them in cargo and I dont know about flying in the cabin. A lot of people get away with it because they claim Sparky is a therapy pet, but how does the dog not relieve itself or not get sick in the plane?

Now, I’m worried that it is bird flu. 🙁

I don’t know, RF!

@Ric Fan – When I started reading your post of 8:28 a.m. I had a mental image of pet fruit bats or tame buzzards. I laughed at myself when it dawned on me that’s not what you meant by “flying animals.”

I’m not saying Violet is an old school chicken or anything, but I’ll just leave this here:

When I think of futuristic chickens I think of Woody Allen’s Sleeper.

Also, Chicken People – a documentary about chickens and the people who love them, available to watch free:

Uncle Al, never knew that people had pet bats and buzzards. I have nothing against them but I will pass.

And how is your feathered patient today?

A couple links that might entertain her. And us.

Goodnes, gracious! You do get the most fascinating spam! 😉

Ugh. Thanks for the pointer, Can’t Hark. Certain old posts attract spams by the dozen (I assume that means they’re all from the same source). If I don’t notice, they prevail.

It’s like a telemarketer humping your leg.

Aw, gee, you took down the one with the!Girls! links 🙁 I hadn’t even noticed the series starting with the redoubled praise of your cool bolg. . .
Yeah I like to visit the spam-haunted posts–there’s a certain surreal quality about them. . .
