MJ's little flock

Just leaving an update for future reference.

Quarantine is ongoing. I'm still waiting for news on the available Marek's tests and vaccines.

The hens are thriving, except for Katie who's doing well but looking a bit grey in her face. I may take her to see Dr Mark if she doesn't improve.

Mary is due for her suprelorin refresh. And she's breathing better. Only a few hiccups a day.

Melissa is red in her face and she squatted yesterday, so maybe she will give me an egg soon!

The two pullets are eating, drinking, and growing. The Australorp's eye problem appears to be clearing up of its own accord. They both nap rather a lot, but they run and flap more than ever. At this time, they eat a lot of pullet pellets and some layer pellets. They're down to two scoops of probiotics in their water.

I can't see any Marek's symptoms in any of the hens or pullets, but that doesn't mean much.
 
I've picked up Ivy and Erica's ashes. It's a fantastic service. They seem to have thought of everything.

So glad I made this choice.
 
The Australorp pullet is struggling today. She's in the pain pose with her eyes closed and not very interested in food. Her crop appears to be distended. Catching her to check her crop would pile distress upon distress, so I'll wait until dark to see how her crop feels.

Her friend the Brahma is bubbly and energetic when she's not napping.
