A Question for YOU, Chicken Wrangler -
Do you get the penicillin from your vet and keep it or are you able to get that at the farm store?
Signed,

Dear Wondering:
I purchased my new bottle of Penicillin at Family Farm and Home, but Tractor Supply generally has it with the vaccines in the refrigerator with animal care items. Procaine Penicillin G is generally what the label reads, but the cautionary wording on the label also says not to use it in animals intended for food purposes because there is a "withdrawal" - this means once the treatment is completed, the animal cannot be used for meat (or eggs) for a prescribed amount of time. This time limit is usually included on the label as well, but to be sure, ask your vet.
Thank you for the question - it brightened my day!
It's a GOLDEN DAY -

Hey Chicken Wrangler!
I had no idea you could get that from the stores and not the vet! I learn something new every time I read your blog!
Happy Halloween!

Hey girl - I'm with angela - I am always learning something.
Although I know you can get antibiotics for fish w/o a vet.
TGIF and Happy Halloween.

Excuse me Queen Chick..where is Miss Lizzy? Is she going chicka-treating? If so make sure she checks out the corn kernels..I would hate for her to get a stomach ache.I will be dressed as a peacock. What is she going to wear? Tell her I will be keeping my eyes peeled for her.

I was so excited to see my question today. Thank you! I am going to get some tomorrow to keep here at the farm. You're the best Wrangler!
