Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ChicoryBlue]

This is for everyone who does not have access to a good chicken vet. In my opinion there are 2 antibiotics which you need to keep on hand in case of a trauma or outbreak of illness, Baytril and Amoxy-Tyl. Between the two they cover nearly all bacteria that could cause infections including mycoplasma and anaerobic infections.

You can get both at All Bird Products. Links to both are below.

The issue is always when you don't have them and need them. It takes time to get them. That time lost waiting can be a big problem.

These are what I keep on hand.

https://allbirdproducts.com/products/copy-of-doxy-tyl-powder-generic

I thought having this on hand would be good as the nearest possible vet is two hours away and we aren't established with them.

Question: The Baytril is available at that store Allbirdproducts but they are out of the Amoxy-tyl powder. I registered to be emailed when that comes in.

Then I tried to look up what they each were and find the equivalent. The below copy/paste is from a store called Terri's Glamourous Gouldians, or Lady Gouldians Finch Supplies https://www.glamgouldians.com/shop.php. Is it reputable? Does this appear to be equivalent to the Allbirdproducts items that you linked to? Or should I buy the Baytril in the original place and wait for restocking, or buy the other (or both) here?

There is an app. I will try and locate the link for it. Do not use the one in the app store. It has issues.

The way this day is going that's a good choice ha! Ok I am heading home, work is seriously impacting my time spent with my chickens and horses!

Poppy is gone. I went out to let everyone loose this morning and while opening the door to the coop Poppy flew off the roost and crashed into the door. Thankfully it was quick and she was gone almost instantly although I'm shattered and been in tears all day.

I am so sorry! I think we all have just been in love with your silkies, this is such sad news.

You Can't Go Home Again

Not if Aurora is running things.

Every evening when I have all the ladies out to free range, the big girls go to bed first. Tonight, for example, Hattie and Lilly were actually roosted when I opened the door to let them out. Lilly did come out but Hattie was not having it. She stayed roosted.

So usually the bigs all roost, I close of access to their site of the coop, and the Polish eventually find their way to the Cluckle hut and go to bed via the door to the big run.

Something New Happened Tonight
Tonight when Sydney went in and roosted, Phyllis went in and roosts a well. Here she is next to Hattie on the main roost.

Well I started the camera and recorded what happened when Aurora realized Phyllis was in there on the roost. It takes Aurora 4 minutes to fully evict Phyllis from the coop.

So she wound up in the Cluckle Hut with Betty.

Something in the Air

Betty was also looking for alternate roosting locations tonight. Everyone new chicken tries roosting here but decides it won't work. Betty came to a similar conclusion and went to bed in the Hut.
