Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[BY Bob]

Elsa never returned. She had promise at being a good laying hen. And she was beautiful.

I'm so sorry.

and a crowing cockerel butt. Mortimer went for the higher register voice.

My first fluffy butt post. This is one of my Easter Eggers, Emily. I wanted to show her pretty feathering.

Those really are gorgeous. Spectacular feathers. Thanks for sharing.

That was what I was going to do.

Then I came home tonight and her crop was down! Sheesh!

These chickens are stressing me so. But at least I don’t have to worry about them kicking me in the head!

I'm so glad to hear she is doing better!

I bought a scale that measures for grams.

Clyde regularly get Tylosin when his whatever he has flairs up. 0.1g measures into a pill bottle, 2 cc of warm water put the lid on the bottle and shake the crap out of it.

Give the 1cc, and then in the morning give the other 1cc. Should give .05g twice a day with that dosing.

Our Tylosin pack has measurements for a gallon for hens. Of course a gallon is more than one needs daily for one hen... so the vet & I came up w/ 1/8 tsp in 1/2 quart plus he likes us to add electrolytes too. We feed organic plain Greek yogurt to a Tylosin-treated bird to control loose poops that antibiotics tend to cause & it really helps. I'll eat plain Greek yogurt whenever antibiotics are prescribed for me as well .
