Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

I was thinking maybe TWO coop doors & ladders, one at each end? Jamie can't block TWO doorways at the same time

In the meantime do whatever necessary to keep them in the coop at night. Drafty night breezes for a bird roosting alone doesn't sound healthy?

I think that requires a SHRA (should have read ahead) tax

I’m very grateful to hear that!

Thank you Alex!

Nothing more gratifying than seeing a chicken well again!!!

Agreed!

I’m glad Halloween is over. I can put away my coffin and vampire cape. I just need to find my thanksgiving turkey costume. This one isn’t a Turkey:

For the past few days Leah has not been feeling well, a few nights ago when I was handling them she tried to fly into her crate and regurgitated fluid all over me. That was my first sign something was off with her. Because she was gasping a bit after her regurgitating fluids I started her on some Sulpha-Trim, that and I also noted she was having some strange poops again. If it is something Gastro I want to nip that in the bud. She also received some Tylenol.

Her crop has been full of fluid and not moving at all that I can see, I tried to drain it with my feeding tube I have but it's too small for the particles in her crop to be sucked up.

I have been keeping an eye on her, she and her sister are both going through a good moult getting new feathers in, so I am hoping that this is just her feeling miserable with the moult.

Meanwhile most of the flock are in various stages of moulting.

I really hope that's what it is and she starts to recover quickly!
