Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

and also to the cute babies. We will never understand the mysteries of hens and rain

The vernal equinox brought us the two new pullets and our first ever fairy egg. I'm assuming Hattie but I suppose Patsy could be slowing down as well.

Maleficent decided she wanted to be taller. She found a spot and I have to say it shocked me. I've never had any chicken roost here before!

Such beautiful new girls!

Patsy is not feeling well. She started lagging yesterday. Today she is off on her own. Based upon her poo I believe it is coccidia again. I treated the water with Corrid yesterday and I'm switching to medicated feed today. We had the same problem this past summer when it was so wet and the past 3 weeks have been just as bad with standing water everywhere. I'm going to have to go to apple cider vinegar all the time moving forward.

I'll check her craw tonight at bedtime and in the AM as well.

When I use amprolium, ie Corrid, I put it in the water for 5 -7 days. It seems to be effective that way.

Exactly how I am doing it as well. Patsy is drinking a lot so she is dosing.

Poor girls! Wet weather is nasty for everyone...

On the plus side, no rain in the forecast through Thursday. Hopefully she picks up by then.
