Awake awake awake

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on,”. (Shakespeare, The Tempest)

Well some can sleep!

Oh sleep perchance to dream…..
 
And, Peep tried mating for the first time tonight!

So Peep is my tiny Japanese bantam rooster that we put under a broody hen named Isbe (the chicks aren’t hers, she thought they were though.) Isbe is the most angry, the biggest out of our flock, and super rude. So who did Peep go for? Of course he had 4 other chickens of his size, one laying eggs that would submit to him, but who did he choose? Isbe, thats of course the only logical solution.
He’s only a fraction of her size, so he bent down and leaped in the air and grabbed onto her back, held on while she swung him around trying to shake him off.
Young roosters. 🤦‍♂️
 
Well, shoot. Isn’t that a sign of mycoplasma? And Bob said enrofloxacin is good for treating that. I think you’re already on the right course for her. If it’s viral, you pretty much just have to wait it out and give her supportive care.
Yes bubbles in the eyes can be a symptoms of Mycoplasma and Baytril is the primary treatment. That at least worked out in this case.
 
Oh gosh. I am so far behind, I don’t even know what Hattie House is. Is it the little prefab coop painted the color of the Chucklehut that I’ve seen in some photos?
Yes the prefab has been named Hattie House. It is their sorority hangout. Hattie spent most of the summer hanging out there.
 
OK. Last post for the night and then I really need to go to bed. I do see that I guessed right on the Hattie house. I don’t know how I missed that that was revived. Where exactly is it in the yard?
It is in the back corner under the magnolia tree.
