@BeastBaby I sent you a pm on sourcing antibiotics. Check out All Bird products.
I could be wrong but I think one could make a direct dose solution out of the powders that are still available, since there seems to be a shortage of amoxycillin in pill/capsule form. Using the powders (10% or whatever it is) and measuring tiny amounts is why I bought this scale (I recall there was discussion a few years ago here, and I finally got one recently)

My poor chooks have had a not so good living condition forever. I hate to admit it, but it was way less than ideal. Mom and I have been saying how we are going to fix it and build them a roosting bar, but we never have. They have been sleeping on this wooden box that is COVERED in poop.

Yesterday Mom and I spent the whole day taking that box apart and we finally built them a roosting ladder.

Them sleeping on poop is awful. I owe them an okay roosting situation for how good of birds they are. (Not perfect because Bolt decides to eat masks while standing on a four foot long rat snake- geez she is kinda dumb.)

This is the before- I know- it’s really awful. No wonder why BBQ’s bumblefoot kept coming back. They would sleep on top of it and it was always wet and caked in poop.View attachment 3788197
This is after. I am still going to add one more roost bar, but for now it will do. I was the one who screwed in all in place. I did most of it.
Opal jumped up on her own. OMG- you can see broody Willow all poofed up!

This is all of the hens. Pastel was in timeout in a small TSC coop because he attacked my foot about five times… He is so sweet 😅

MugsView attachment 3788218I missed the crow...why does he like to come stand next to me then sound off? He's LOUD.

Yes, I ‘hear you’ on this, Mr P hops up on the 2x4 rail which is at ear level and lets one blast right in my ear last week.

I gave him the stink eye, and I swear he was smirking!
 
Sun clouds and then rain again here. Yesterday it was dark and light clouds that completely covered the sky
Changeable spring time weather at its best. Everyone was outside all weekend which was a good thing as starting tomorrow here it’s back to winter weather. Oh joy.

I can’t wait to get home and let them all outside for a couple hrs to dig around 😊
 
Happy Mugs Monday! Perhaps this little girl should be Nyx?

Larry has been laying hard shelled eggs finally, maybe I’ll throw one in the bator with the silkie eggs.

Ruth the Little Pecker has been following me around this weekend - not sure why. Maybe she wants to finish the job and peck not my eyes out 😆

Edit- FYI that white blob behind Sophia is the top of the chick feeder I am using to give them the Layer Textured feed.
