Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Mine move as a unit overwhelming all who stand in their way. They are never in a line.

And Jaffar likes Marine Corps movies, so maybe he could be their drill sergeant?

Would RFID tags work?

I don't think RFID would be practical. They have quite a short range so you'd need to install tag readers all over the place to find out where she is.

GPS is accurate to within 5 metres (or at least that's what the precision was the last time I checked) and is read by satellites.

Airtags are more convenient if you're already an IPhone user.

Fascinating!

I love that wild hair action!

Here is the dosage section updated to include the 20% powder.

The Poultry DVM recommends a therapeutic dose of 0.024% in water to reach therapeutic levels. If you are utilizing Corid 9.6% liquid solution, that would be 2 teaspoons per gallon of water. If you are using Corid powder (20%), it is 1.5 teaspoons of powder. Treat for a minimum of 5 up to 7 days. This must be their only source of water for those 5 days. No rain puddles etc.

After the initial dose taper to 0.012% for another 5 to 7 days. That would be 1 teaspoon of liquid per gallon of water or 3/4 teaspoon of powder.

If you are going to use Medicated feed at the end of the second treatment you can switch them to medicated feed and you should be fine.

If you are NOT going to use medicated feed, you need to switch to a final tapering dose of 0.006% for 7 days. That would be ½ teaspoon of liquid per gallon or 1/3 teaspoon of powder.

NOTE: I also went back to the original post and updated it to include this info.

Bookmarked. Thank you, Bob!

Those poor chickens.

That is so sad. I wouldn’t have any animal unless I was willing to give it a good life. Proper (and enough) food and fresh water are important to a happy existence. And nest boxes! My girls love their nest boxes! Well, they all share one and ignore the other one but hey, they like the arrangement.
I wouldn’t even want to eat the eggs from a “farm” like that!

Is the road near by? Maybe she sees a KFC truck passing by?

Well she heard her favorite visitor's truck on the driveway and she was not disappointed, he had pizza crust for her.

It would require someone to report them. I would think Canada would have issues with this, but maybe not. "They are just chickens", as most of public would say.

I never understand the habit humans have of treating some “life forms” with less compassion than others. People who would shed tears over a story of an abandoned dog could care less about a chicken who gets little food and water, has no comfortable place to lay eggs, and lives in a tight little cage. It’s a living being with feelings and fears, is that confusing?

Close enough!

I've actually been doing a good job at keeping up with the thread for once, but I haven't been writing much because Kiko has taken over my laptop. She decided that this is her favorite place to relax and hang out. She sure makes it look comfy. I keep telling her that she's lucky she's cute
