Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Let's see, one hand to tap the leg, one hand for Phyllis to step onto and one hand to hold the camera.

I feel like I'm going to be short something necessary....

We have faith in you.
The coop cams are hands free!

I still love your flock videos. You do the best voice over!

Yes. That.

Rough Coop Drawings

I took some pictures and drew on them so you can get an idea of what the Polish Palace (I am open to name suggestions) will look like.

It will be built into the big run but will be elevated 16 inches or more above the run so I do not lose any run space.

I am considering a porch on the end and a window either opening into the run or out through the run looking at the other coop. The nest box will stick out through the run to add space.

I am considering a flat roof to give more up space for the ladies to go up. I want the long wall in the run to either be removable or drop down for easy cleaning.

As you can see I already have inspectors showing up to investigate my plans. I will be working square footage calculations today to determine the size and dimensions.

I am glad the inspectors are in early - you wouldn't want to find you had made mistakes and met with their disapproval later!
I see you have rejected 'The mop closet' as the name. How about Palazzo Phyllis?

I love a good Italian name and naming it after Phyllis locks her memory in long term. I don't have that with Daisy, the greatest hen ever.

I take it you have doxycycline on hand. Any other reason to choose that specific antibiotic?

Yes, but I have it on hand on purpose. As you know, E. Coli is gram negative. Doxycycline kills both positive and negative bacteria, like enrofloxacin does. Amoxicillin mostly kills gram positive.

 

[micstrachan]

I see what you are talking about. She definitely does not feel well. I hope the antibiotics do the trick for you. I think it is a good assumption on your part.

I will also say that Hattie had a day like this this spring that turned out to be just an off day. She was back to her old self shortly. Remember how I was chasing her looking for a poop?

Yes, I remember. Thanks. I already did the wait and see approach and she has not improved.

Oh gosh, I just keep screwing up. This is in regard to my false bingo yesterday.

Oh, that's funny! You false bingo’d in the bingo thread?!?!
