Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[featherhead007]

Allergy testing is done and Rosie is home and first thing she did was run to grab her clariton. She is allergic to dust, some molds but the biggest ones are Trees. Highly reactive to 7 trees which are in full bloom at the moment and we are surrounded by. Negative on animals, grasses, and weeds.

Good to know!

For some reason I can’t link anything at the moment.
But I think it is post # 138,024

Thank you. I will have it bookmarked.

1. I love the straight on shot. The connection with the viewer, the "link" to her inner thoughts...

I also love 1 the most.

Well, lets go outside and gather eggs. Ok, I'm lying, it is time to do the first peek under Gryffyn since I gave her the eggs yesterday evening.

We should do Threefer Thursday.
But for Twofer Tuesday, I'll settle on this photo.

Good to know. And fwiw, locally grown honey can help with local pollen allergies (can, not will).

Hope Wendy is helped by some antibiotics today

I will check in later to see how her first dose went.

Can chickens take capsules? I cannot find anything online. All your experts know the answer?

Yesterday night we were gonna give her a capsule of Amox, but started to think maybe we need to take the powder out of the capsule for her digestion. So I have the powder mixed with coconut oil, which were put in the freezer.

This morning, it was a big failure to give her the frozen coconut ball (too big). She somehow still have lots of energy to fight it.

When we came back from work this afternoon, we popped the whole capsule into her beak, so she got her first dose, assuming the capsule can properly dissolve.

She is clearly not improving on her own. She hasn't eaten food in 3 days. According to the best I can find, I am going to give her 250mg of Amox every 8 hours.

The Amazing Phyllis
Phyllis was up on the wood pile looking for a new nesting location and Eowyn came over to see what was up. This required Phyllis to take a long flight path down, targeting her landing to be right between my legs. I caught it all in slow motion. Watch how graceful a flier Phyllis is.

I have said it before, she is the only chicken I have had that can fly straight up, hover, and much like a leghorn, she can gain altitude if she needs to mid flight.

Very pretty wings!

Happy to report Grouchy Gryffyn is still on her eggs. She even managed to steal one of momma hens to put under her. Sorry girl, 4 is your limit.

I'm so glad she is able to get onto her clariton again. I cant live without my Zyrtec right now.
