And in other news, my youngest graduated from bootcamp today. Like my oldest, following in dad's footsteps into the Navy.

Bless your family for their service!

You put old tires to good use. Do you have to empty & refill those heavy things often? We do anything for our babies!

Ok. Who is keeping track for the pool?

Everyone is ~ one way or another!

Fowl pox is spreading among my birds. The Orpington roo has it bad. Aero has some on her comb.
Dakota has a few bumps on her as well.
It’s mosquito bite season and there’s nothing I can do about it. I will try to get pictures of my roo.

13 weeks old and the peeps are gone, sounds like tiny geese sneezing out there.

Don't go plucking them!

I don’t see any on them. So alll is good and their feathers are safe

Sorry to hear this, not much you can do but let it run it’s course I am told.

You should have seen me trying to measure up the dose for oral Eqvalan that was at 10mg/ml - it was minuscule! I had a struggle to find a small enough insulin syringe that measure such small doses.

I will do the Eqvalan (ivermectin) again this November. Swap out the Panacur for that. I can get topical but it’s such a huge bottle and so expensive I’ll just go with the oral again.

Fun times….

Do you treat for worms as a precaution or because you see evidence of worms?

Reading this seems like there are so many opinions?

(In Calif only natural ingredient chicken worming is legal. If ordering online products like wazine etc it will not be shipped to Calif)
