Granny's gone and done it again

That was a hard read for me but am I understanding that if she cuts the crop open she may find maggots to confirm?
Morning /afternoon all.

I swear I walk into the coop and they all stop making noise all at once. It is like walking into a room that they were talking about you.

I know the feeling. LOL

Hey Granny, did you get out this morning to get your meds?

Nope, cant get out. winter storm warning til 7am tomorrow . couple 3 inches so far and another one expected before it turns to ?? We are right on the line so it just depends on which way the wind is blowing .

Not always. That is something that could happen tho' as a result of the botulism not as the cause.

It's a bacteria that lives in the environment, forms spores that can infect bugs or mammals. Cleaning cages and surrounding areas with an antibacterial cleanser and quick disposal of the carcasses can help. It maybe food borne too. Damp food and damp floor could have caused the bacteria to spread. One bird gets it and spreads to all.

Nope not doing that. It was coming out of his nose and that was bad enough.

Swamp land.

Yep. I took all the dry out and put it in a clean dry bag.

I did give everyone different food today. But losing 4/6 chicks was hard.
