Does anyone else have a problem with autocorrect?

Yes. lately it’s making up all kinds of non-words. Go figure.

Is it ever!

It has been a non-stop deluge all morning... the girls are still hunkered down beside the house. I haven’t been about to get out to them all day, let alone do any administering. Chickie’s asleep with her head under her wing.

I dose individually. I usually mix the Amprolium with a few drops of liquid vitamin supplement and soak it up with two or three pieces of bread and feed the bread to the patient.

How do you get your Amprolium? The one I have is a water-soluble powder and you put in their water for two weeks.

Maggie bleeding - need advice
Dear chicken-ey friends I could use your advice. Tonight Maggie had blood dripping from her wattles.
I don't think it is a life threatening injury but it is dripping. I noticed it when locking them up for the night. Nobody is pecking her so for now I have decided to leave her be and will check on her later in the night.
I noticed that she seems to be itchy around the wattles and she has been scratching herself (her toes are blood stained as a result). I wonder if the injury is actually self inflicted by scratching (I had a cat do that once).
Any ideas on what I should do? Both tonight/in the morning in a first aid sense and to figure why she is itching? Otherwise she has been fine all day scratching in the leaf pile with everyone else. And nobody else is itchy.
Courtesy of the new camera (thank you @BY Bob for the inspiration!) you can see them settled for the night and Maggie scratching her face.
Help!

Hmmm... poor Maggie! Itchi g can be a low grade pain. Was she itching before? Roxy once tore a strip off the front t of her waddle, right down the middle. I put antibiotic ointment on it and let it be. She healed fine and the dangling strip died and fell off.
