Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Pastel, seriously, I don't think TSC can legally sell them to you any more. I may be wrong.
Some online stores may still sell them to you if you say they are for fish. I think a vet may be your only hope.

Is Baytril effective against bumblefoot? It can be bought online with no prescription.

Alright. I'll talk to my dad and see what I can do.

I wasn't able to talk to him. I asked if he wanted to talk about BBQ, and he said no. Maybe at dinner.

Broodies ?

Baytril/enrofloxacin does indeed still seem to be available.
Bib is an expert and I believe has connected with @Pastel The Rooster already.
My guess is yes it would be useful in Bumblefoot.
I would still say you need to get the focus of infection in the foot out by soaking and maybe surgery.

Maybe the horse vet that the stable you ride at, can help. My horse vet is my go to, for all my
Meds for the chickens and of course the horses.

Talk to you riding instructor, she may already have some antibiotics.

And if not then maybe you can order some online - did By Bob get back to you?

I've actually taken a break from riding, unwillingly, of course. I'm grounded from it for the whole summer, perhaps even longer, because I got two B's in my grade book. I guess the four high A's I got don't matter. That's why I'm so mad at my dad.
And, yes, By Bob did get back to me, and he also said maybe online.

Well just go get yourself some more As and then you can be back on horseback.

So at last visit, Sheba was out in the run. Eenie was still on the nest. It's very warm in my henhouse and she gets no air in there! It has me concerned. I gave her a cherry tomato, which she jumped up and devoured, while I picked up the two eggs under her. It appears she isn't laying, which is another sign she's broody, right? I didn't stick these in the fridge... maybe I'll mark them and put them back.

If I just wait a couple days and she has 4 or 6 eggs under her, then pick up any newly laid ones, that'll work, right?

Still unsure how I'll block her off or get the others to go to the other boxes though. If I create a little pen around her, and give her her own little water and food source...will that work? Maybe penning off the area under the "ladder"?

Still worried about how warm she'll get in there...

Gosh that's too bad. I'm not going to judge, but that seems a bit extreme for what are really pretty good grades. I hope you can find a source for the meds you need.
