chicks and floods

[aafairchild]

Hey All,

I am sure by now everyone has heard about the devastating floods here in central TX. I feel very fortunate to be alive and not homeless. However, my yard resembles the movie "A River Ran through It." The garden is the only thing happy around here. I would love suggestions on how to help my birds cope with the constant wet. My littles are in a grow out pen that is a muddy mucky mess. I have already had a mild bout of cocci and watching for any future outbreaks. These babies are way too small to mix with the 35 adults at 4 and 2.3 months. I feel so sorry for them but moving them is not possible right now. Even the adult birds are tired of having wet feet. I am worried about infected feet although so far only red and irritated looking.

Thanks
Alice

If you can get some pallets down on the ground they can get up off the wet.
