Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[drstratton]

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?

Hi Sally

I don't think she's molting. I will catch her tomorrow and bring her in to give her a thorough examination. And keep her inside so I can monitor her.

I'll share what I discover, if anything, tomorrow. Last time I examined her, I found nothing outwardly wrong.

Thank you!

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

Thank you Alex! I will be bringing her in tomorrow so I can better monitor her. I just shared with Bob that I also have Baytril. Which I'd forgotten about.

I'm so glad Dakota is doing better!

He is lovely. And is that black spots I see?

I could modify what I already have I guess

I end up with egg eating when they need extra calcium, usually when the oyster shell container has run out. Could she simply need more calcium than the others?

Hi Rural mouse . Health issues are ongoing. Getting a skin cancer removed tomorrow and my noggin scanned Friday in a attempt to diagnose my tremors. Lety and I spent a few hours making sure everyone is cozy with our first cold front blowing in this evening. Up to 17 pups now and 2 kitties.

When you have some R&R through all that, we'd love pics of the critters, and your cozy set up for the birds. Considering you deal with the heat so much, I'm curious what you've done for the cold there.

may both procedures go smoothly, clearly, and be productive.

That’s a lot going on. Hope everything goes well. I had a period a year or two ago when I kept needing skin cancers removed from my face. Seems OK at the moment.

Foggy morning. The chickens have never seen fog before, and it’s funny to watch them “should we or shouldn’t we? You go first! No you go! “

They are just being very polite

Oh No! What a tragedy!

@Ponypoor

Those chickens hypnotised you into dropping that cake
