MJ's little flock

That’s how we’ve been doing ours here, too.



Good to hear! Loved the fluffy butt chicken tax picture as well!

I'm a sucker for a humble red chicken

Peggy has her follow up tomorrow morning I'm hoping for a positive outcome. I've switched the whole flock over to the pellets Mark recommended (much to their disappointment) and I've been grinding up the supplements, adding them to the dinner mashes, with one teaspoon of cottage cheese among all four hens. I've also been giving Peggy her clavulox on cheese, which is going really well. She gets a complete dose every day.

I'm going to ask him if they can go back on se17enteen because they love it. I've got the nutritional profile at the ready. And I'm going to ask about providing hay for forage through summer when all the grasses die back.

Perhaps a chicken tax should be implemented on all social media platforms then.

That would reduce a lot of argy-bargy!

Unrelated but your avatar cracks me up, I actually own that hat or mask or whatever you would call it lol

Oh,

Oh, I'm just too private for social media. Long ago when Dora was sick, I stumbled across advice on byc from which i realised she might have coccidiosis and that I should take her to a vet. That was my first appointment with Dr Mark. We got her over it and a few days later the foxes took all three hens. Fast forward to when I was over that shock and ready to start over, Janet and Mary were settled in and I had read so many byc articles in an attempt to do better than last time. Eventually I decided I needed to join up to do my best for them, so here I am. But this is the only social media I do because I have a sense of ownership of my data which I prefer doesn't find its way to the various AIs of the business world. So even being on byc compromises my values wrt data privacy but for 4 very good reasons

I must seem standoffish but that's because of the tensions between me trying to live my best life and the prized friendships that have formed here and what I know about personal data on the intertubes. So I'm constantly engaged in a balancing act, as we all are!

I’m having to engage in social media quite a bit to promote my new business.

That's a good looking cockerel.

Ditto! He's beautiful and the photo brings out his iridescence and lean form. Nice shot Shad.

Good luck at the vet. It all sounds like it is going very well.
if you don’t mind I am curious how Peggy takes the Clav on cheese. Is that mixed in with cottage cheese? Cut into pieces of hard cheese? I assume it is a powder?
I ask because Maggie’s vet suggested giving her some supplements - he said it wasn’t critical and wouldn’t likely change her prognosis but might boost her immune system. Honestly I think it was more to make me feel better! It is just vitamins.
Anyway, the only way I could get Maggie to eat a powder was to take live meal worms and coat them in a tiny amount of peanut butter oil so they were ‘sticky’ and then sprinkle the powder on them as they wriggled.
Quite a palaver!
Your approach sounds easier so I am keen to learn.
