Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

Look at this little chick. He/she is feathered just like Mr Wyandottey.
That’s quite the mix: Wyandotte an and game bird! View attachment 4240945View attachment 4240946

Looks like at least 4 are his

I see you have non-carpet flooring, and as such you are legally obligated to let the chickens in. And you are obligated to let Nimah in at any time, no matter how inconvenient.

I'm pretty sure she thinks she lives here now.

Sable my Speckled Sussex is not doing the best. Not eating well, I think she starts to rally and then she slows down and is not very active again. I have fish mox and I'm thinking about giving her that, but not sure about the dosing? Is there something better to give her. I need to bring her inside, to better monitor her poop and keep on top of her condition. I have no idea what's going on with her. Would love any suggestions on a treatment plan and where to get the medicine. Thank you.

A twofer of her and Gwendolyn.

Suggestions: fishmox 1/3 capsule mixed in with canned corn. Each day. Dakota was bad but now she’s much better. Preening again and is starting to be herself.
Speckled suspects can difficult to diagnose. Make sure she’s drinking. Dehydration isn’t good

Is she molting? My birds are eating a LOT less now they're molting. I thought they'd need more, to grow the feathers. They aren't as active as they have been, either.

Can you check for worms or mites?

Watch out with the rolling office chairs…

3 times today she has been around the office chair. Fortunately her fluffy head provides warning.

“Fluffy head so you say?”

Can you provide a photo of the label on the fish mox that shows what the power of the medicine is? Something like 250 MG per capsule or something similar.

Yay! Though it would be nicer if it landed on you, I'm sure.
