Good morning and thanks for the hot coffee! 32F with ice from last night's rain and snow capped peaks in the high country.

Good Morning,

Coffee is ready now. It still a bit dark outside and it is warm. We might just head into summer and skip the spring altogether by the feel of it now.

My young Japanese bantam is egg sitting since yesterday, first time broody and she is not coping well. Her comb completely flip and flat down on 1 side. She pulled out her chest feather and I imagine it is enough for me to make a doona=duvet out of it.

I am going to drag her out of the nest every 2 hours today. I want her to take a break from egg laying, but not to the point of ill health.

Tiny rooster is good now, seem to be all in good health. What am I going to do with him? Integrate him or just keep him by himself? He no longer sick so it seems, but he still can infection the flock if he has mycoplasma.

I am off to service my chickens now.

Have a great day all.

After lunch, we'll extract honey, I hope! I think we will; they have been VERY busy on the goldenrod, of which we have a few acres.

Wellllll... Nope. No honey today. We'll check again in about a week. I'd love to get some more. But if they're packing it all away down below for noshing on this winter and it gets them to spring in good health, well, I will happily make that trade.

Good Morning,

Coffee is ready. I lost track of time, I woke up this morning and wondering is it Friday or Saturday?...Saturday it is!

Tiny rooster seems all in good health. My hen Minty is having the nasty salpingitis, yesterday she pooped tiny lash eggs throughout the day. Her mother a Wyandottee - Pretty nest boxing, but no egg. She straining herself to lay egg, also her sister another Wyandotte Goldie has not lay egg for a week now, a sudden full stop!

I only have 10 tablets of Amoxicillin, Minty with the nasty salpingitis is having it. I don't know where on earthy I pull out another lot of Amoxicillin if the other 2 have that illness as well.

Yesterday I read so many articles on BYC about this condition...it only has bad outcome - 6months. 1 article mention about treating it when the lash egg still in liquid form. I did see it in liquid form a few weeks back, I just don't know what it was, now I know and it is too late.

Then 1 article mentioned that this condition also can be caused by mycoplasma - I am thinking of the tiny rooster, he is not with the flock, but....I want to release him of his head, but I can not bring myself to do it, he looks at me with bright eyes, saying something and being still while his whole chicken's frame is in my palm.

I am at the end of my rope, I will just march on each day with this mess. It will all come to an end somewhere, somehow. No plan, just go with the flow and action accordingly as it comes.

Have a lovely day.

So sorry. Just as a bit of encouragement, my Maggie had two bouts of lash eggs about a year apart and lived about another two years. She went back to laying normally after each bout.
I think salpingitis it is often fatal but not always.
