"Fortunately I have not had to personally deal with this, but if she is egg-bound a warm bath and gentle massage may help. There is a LOT of info and advice on backyardchickens.com, but it can be overwhelming to wade through.
I'd at least put…"

"my vet told me about the difference between Zodiac & Ovitrol. Sort of like the difference between over-the-counter flea treatments (Hartz, which causes neurological damage in cats) and vet-supplied treatments ("Advantage", for…"
Alyssa Kohlman replied to Kristi Tatebe's discussion 'Lice treatment?' in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops
"Zodiac has a different carrier than Ovitrol. Zodiac is meant to be absorbed by the skin, whereas Ovitrol is not. Ovitrol can also treat inanimate objects (couches, carpets... or coops, I suppose)."

"I'm interested. I've been feeding my girls commercial wild bird food, which they love, but I have a feeling is about as healthy as Twinkies.
I have access to MoDo coop cars but no other reason to go to Delta."
Alyssa Kohlman replied to Kristi Tatebe's discussion 'Lice treatment?' in the group Chicken Coop Co-ops
"I don't know how much it costs yet.
I looked on Petsmart website and they only have the shampoo Zodiac? Also the ingredients were not exactly the same (at least between the shampoo and the Ovitrol).
I will only use the Ovitrol if I have…"

"I would like to do another 'Tour de Coop' this year... I think a small grant for snacks and promotional materials would be appropriate.

"Is anyone doing another Tour de Coop? I'd love to be in it this year (had planned last year but had to leave town for work)."

"Kristi, most dog & cat vets could probably get it, but you might be hard pressed to get them to sell you a bottle for off-label use. I'll ask my cat vet next time I go in (which is soon, within the next couple of weeks.)

I seem to recall there was yummy food, too."
Profile Information
- In which Vancouver neighbourhood or other community do you live?
- Grandview-Woodland
- Please tell us which areas of Transition interest you. For example: growing more food/urban agriculture, relocalizing our economy/local currency, Permaculture, transit, energy efficient buildings, the arts, urban homesteading, preserving seed diversity, potlucks, outreach, organizing events, community-building, having fun while saving the world, or...
- I was involved in the Transition movement in Colorado when I lived there (1999 - 2010). I am interested in food, food, food: local food, food security, food-producing animals (chickens especially), and community building. Oh and I am big on fermenting food. And composting. Waste reduction, and anti-GMO. And I really love my chickens.
- There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
- chickens, food
- What would you like to see improved in Vancouver or in your community regarding sustainability or resiliency? Do you have an idea for a new Transition project or activity?
- More attention to garbage. There are lots of nice recycling containers available, but where I live they are all gross and nobody seems to care. Its amazing how much the REDUCE, re-use, and then (finally, as an afterthought!) recycle works if you use it in the right order. Also COMPOST everything, and really reduce packaging. Ban plastic bags, or charge a at least $1 each for them.
- I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
- Yes

- It looks like we are going to take a break from tabling at the Folk Fest. We just decided this yesterday. We found we just had no time for the music. Now, Ross may have some weekend tickets available at $121 each for all three days (normally about $60 for Friday and $90 for Saturday or Sunday). I'll email Ross separately.
