Creative spookiness takes time!!!! Don't rush the creative spirit !
(but if you do need to give it a kick-start...rub a little peanut butter with scratch grain mixed in on the pumpkin!)

Mine eat one every year! Here they are 2 years ago

It is an educated guess that my gang has had Mycoplasma Galliseptica (MG), I have not run any testing but may have to, if I wish to vaccinate my gang.

They had all the symptoms and the use of the Tylosin antibiotic helped the birds who where sick. MG is caused by a bacteria.

Mareks is caused by a virus (herpes) and there is no cure for it. There is a vaccine for this also. I have some of my flock vaccinated for Mareks. Wish they all were.

Anyways Clyde is doing well tonight I’ll continue the Tylosin for 3 days.

Glad Clyde is doing well.

Can you find & monitor any Aussie or southern hemisphere threads on BYC? That’s one of the things I did in 2022 when I was up in the night managing pain! @MaryJanet had a thread and a sweet bunch of hens. Also @Ribh was active…I don’t have time to check in specifically with them these days.

I'm still posting, but not often.

Life is just too hectic for social media.

I haven’t got mine a pumpkin yet - I will get them one when I am back home next week.
Here is last year’s effort:
October 24 at 3:30pm

One hour later (that is Tassels):

24 hours later after moving Mr. Pumpkinhead closer to the coop (Sylvie):

Set Back
Well I thought I had lost Niamh overnight. Joy would not leave her side this morning in the coop, even with the door open and Niamh was laying under the hanging feeder not moving at one point.

She is back in the house. Walking around but not eating. She is now on Baytril. I'm not taking any chances at this point.

If she doesn't eat in the next hour or so she is getting nutridrench directly.
