Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

I do not censor or ban books. They are free to read whatever they want.

I do think that maybe we need to form a discussion group though.

Are you sure they would let you in the book club? I mean...it is kinda exclusive...feathers required!

So beautiful

It's looking to me as if your chickens already have a discussion group, possibly even a secret union .

Be really careful Bob, they could be plotting against you

Gotta agree on this one... clever girls. They say more pasta...or else!

Amber got over heated was constipated as well as very tired. She rewarded my efforts by throwing a very watery poop at me their newly cleaned run princess was I the firing line. I'm ashamed to say I made it happen. She then ate a little and I made sure she was hydrated.

You've done well, my dear. Amber is lucky to have you.
So are we. ❤

Now I'm concerned. I saw what happened when @RoyalChick group unionized.

Oh I live with that pain every day!

A chicken Union? What, Cluckers local 777?

Way more militant and with global reach. It is the IFLC (the international federation of labouring chickens).
I had a strike and still live under a collective bargaining agreement.
Do not let your coop get unionized!

So you did not give Amprolium as their medication. My guess is you were using Monensin (Cobon) to medicate. It uses a different mechanism to kill the coccidia so you would have had a multiplier effect.

Monensin works by combining with sodium and potassium, causing the normal transport of these ions across surface membranes to fail. This kills the coccidia by not allowing them to regulate the movement of water in and out of the cell. Most likely causing them to pop.

From my somewhat basic research Monensin does not seem to be anywhere near as popular as Amprolium.

That's not ringing any bells, Bob. What I was given was Baycox100. I think the active ingredient is enrofloxacin. None of this means anything to me. It's use is restricted in the States & it has a long holding period.

No way! I feed them too well, and they are very satisfied to work for “my chicken feed “

Bookmarked! Thank you, Bob.

I feel bad that I had it wrong at first. My apologies to all. I had to make it right.

In severe cases of coccidiosis sometimes an antibiotic will also be utilized as the intestinal lining can be susceptible to bacterial infection as well.

Enrofloxacin is a broad spectrum antibiotic also known as baytril here in the states. Antibiotics do not treat coccidia.

I hope that makes sense and explains what she was doing.
