Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Marie2020]

Dotty
I am at a bit of a loss. She is no better, but also no worse. She spent the day in the shade, isolating herself from everyone else. I saw her drink but I don't think she ate much.
I have brought her in for an hour or two as it is very hot and she clearly suffers more in the heat. As I brought her in I did another look over. No egg on external examination - I can repeat the internal exam a bit later when she is cooler - but I honestly don't think there is an egg there.
So, I am left with a mystery:
- The diarrhea could be coccidia that for some reason wasn't resolved by the recent amprolium treatment. I could direct dose her amprolium or get an alternative
- The above logic could also apply to roundworm - she was direct dose treated but maybe it didn't resolve the issue and with the heat her defenses are down
- I could assume she is the producer of the lash egg and give her antibiotics - but there is no evidence she went into that box
I could go another day of watching and waiting. I am quite worried about her - her comb is very pale and she is clearly feeling miserable (made worse by the heat).
I really dunno what to do.

I'm sorry my sweetheart I wish I could give you some pointers but no answers here but only to send you my love and hope we can find the answers

He is a pretty quiet guy, hopefully he stays that way with the gals!

Well going to bring him in now I want my supper and don’t dare leave them outside - it’s the time when foxes start to roam.

Feed him well. A good rooster is always hungry.

Little Danny. He's a 17 year old terrior with what appears to be a cancerous growth on his paw. It's been decided that treating him will only end his life sooner so his loving owner is leaving him to enjoy life as long as he can.

He is really enjoying his boat life!

I have to feed Jaffar separately, so I know that he gets his good diet. Otherwise it’s “bok bok bok, here ladies I have food for you!”

Yep sure is ! Marty can do a face plant really well but can’t fly at all!

He will give him time

Good night fluffy butt peeps

That sucks! That’s why I only have one rooster. But I love all roosters

Out of nine roosters there's always someone who wants to move up and take over.

Hello-

I do not know if I will ever catch up but I have been reading your amazing thread of conversations (currently I am 2020 and Sydney has just hatched her first clutch of tiny dragons) while my ankle heals from a break. I have learned so much from all of you already. I am new to chickens and just got my first chicks from Alchemist Farms yesterday. Just wanted to say thank you and introduce myself.View attachment 3212680

I have been watching you read along and I have enjoyed popping in to see the memories. I'm so glad that you chose to introduce yourself.

Please tell us all more about these darling chicks. What kind did you get?

Holy Moly those silkies are tough little suckers!!!

Poor Blackie, maybe he learnt his lesson…..?

Viejito was weak when we got him, nearly dead. Now thanks to vitamins and good food he is healthy and strong. At one point or another he has fought everyone but Cholo and survived with minimal scratches. Nobody messes with him except Blackie.
