Hello

Hello Im Daisy 77 which is actually my goats name. Ive been on this site millions of time but i am in need of help big time. I have a small farm 8 hens 1roo (Rhode islands and golden laced wyndottes) and 6 on their way by day after Easter. Two Nigerian dwarf Goats..buck and doe which is due her second kidding in two weeks. Ive dairy farmed Holistens through childhood..love love farming.
Anyway. Last summer my hens got cocci. i cleaned and cleaned..done sulfer antibiotics then amprolim and probiotics and extra vitamins. Everyone seemed to get over it. Well i was cleaning this morning and there it was in the poo again..rrrrr! My run is on a hill so water can drain good but wouldnt u know it doesnt drain worth a hoot..we have had alot of rain so its been really hard keeping the run dry.the coop stays nice and dry i use amonina in it. Im numb at this point the only think i can think to do is. I have a blow torch. (no not burn it to the ground but dang Im so over this) no i thought od torching the soil in the run good then liming it. They free range alot of he day so i dont know what to do about where they range. I dont want to bring these new babies in all this mess ...rrrrr can anyone help with oher than the usual.
Thank U Abunch!

 

I have done some trenching but apparently not enough. Crazy think is its a higher spot that stays wet worse..I going to get my dad over here to help me figure out best way to trench it. Sand..id love to do sand but it kinda expensive here. My goats waste alot of hay i put some of the waste that wasnt bad over it this past rain spell. It worked its way to the low point quickly. As for if Im sure its cocci. I havent had a fecal exam but bloody poo is my main evidence. I had never had cocci before so I used Tetracycline at first and seen that didnt fix it. So my vet gave me sulfa-----. The one easier on ther kidneys. They got better. I followed up with Amprolium and probiotics. My roo has stressed them alot this winter I just moved his big butt over with the goats to get pushed around. Give him some of his owe medicine..but Hes probably about to be dinner if i get a roo in this next clutch. My brother in law has a saw mill do yall think sawdust would build it up enough to keep moisture down.

 

And thank you guys alot!
