Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Morning Update
All seems good this morning. There does not seem to be any spread to even Glynda at this point. Everyone is behaving very chicken like. No lethargy. Baytril dose delivered this morning without incident.

I cleaned up the Cluckle Hut for the girls that have to share it now.

Fresh air good food and lots of TLC, and the meds to give them a helping hand. Even if they don’t have a bacterial infection, give an antibiotic as a prophylactic is a good idea, if they are under the weather why take a chance of getting something?

I know they say let the body heal but on this case I say give the meds.

Still thinking good thoughts

I have a distaste for any animal owner that lets there animals loose. all my chooks are in a cozy coop at night locked up safe and a enclosed run with the sides covered so my dogs cant see them. I have 5 dogs in the house and only go to the fenced in backyard to sun and potty. I dont want my animals hurting others and vice versa.

I totally agree. We fenced about an acre and a half so our animals were not able to trespass and disturb our neighbors. There's no leash law out where we live so dogs are allowed to roam free but it's rare to see one that does. In the summer our neighbors retriever when he escapes likes to cool off in our pond and that's understandable. We are lucky. Most our neighbors are friendly, courteous and respectful of each other.

Either I’m a great cook, or she was hungry! When I said she attacked me, she did! From the ground up to my shoulders, flapping her wings in my face. Trying to knock the plate out of my hand. Gezz is she fast when she wants to be. That’s my excitement for the evening!

Yes I forgot how fast Curly is to steal my toast, when I got home I was sitting with them outside eating and she hopped up onto the cedar rail I was sitting on, grabbed my toast and took off!! That price bread was as big as she is and I don’t know how she Carrie’s it away

No no!
Antibiotics as prophylactic are not a good idea.
That encourages resistance so when they are sick the antibiotics will not work as well (or at all).
Also, it doesn’t work. Giving antibiotics kills bacteria. They kill the good ones and the bad ones (which is why they often cause tummy upsets). But they don’t hang around waiting to kill a bad one should it show up at a later date.
Seriously, not a good idea!
