I’m home . The chooks aren’t happy. I wasn’t with them all day, and they are mad at me. I saw that paul enjoyed the steak I had in the fridge ( meant for the birds) haha he was house sitting on my property while I was gone. He’s my airplane mechanic and tends the airport near here. (I treat him well ) but I’m not going to mention where that steak was going to go!

Ok well Wednesday, hump day...

Here is the chickens version of a coffee mug

That's awesome so hopefully 2 chicks

Ask her! She’s right here perched on my leg. Two eggs wrapped up in a heated blanket.

According to a paper published two days ago, rice growing may have contributed to chickens domestication?

My chickens surely love rice, ummmm.

Mine also, mum gives them rice and I tell her they love rice so much because it looks like maggots

Mum gets very mad when I say that hahaha!

Well if Paul came here and house sat for me I would make sure it was. Huge T-bone with a backed potato and all the fixings

Tell her to get her butt back on those eggs! I am living vicariously through you!

This scene greeted me at the coffee pot this morning.

Someone is very proud of having partied with his lady friend!

That is a nice good morning crow

I did it. Everyone got their medicine. I don't think I made any mistakes - at least they all survived it well enough to get either mealy worm or egg (and in Minnie's case both) right after.
I think I can say syringing a chicken is now in my skill set. I feel more confident in doing it and I didn't need to directly visualize their windpipe - I did it by feel which made it quicker. Not that I want to make a habit of doing this of course, but at least I now know I can!
Now for all the trauma it is not clear that I have achieved anything. Maggie still has diarrhea and seems perfectly well with it; Diana never had any diarrhea to begin with; Dotty maybe has less diarrhea; and Minnie is in a pickle with her blocked crop.
Based on observed symptoms you would have to say things are roughly the same or maybe you would say worse because of Minnie.
Just a day and a half of miconazole for Minnie and then we can all catch our breath and reevaluate.
