Little Duckies.

The turkeys are in a different brooder, & are taking a nap under the heating plate, so pictures another day.

Been needing to tube feed my Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster. He seems to have got a Tetanus infection. He's stiff in the upper neck, & lower jaw. So I'm just gonna help him get food in him as he battles the infection.

 

[MysteryChicken]

It's been soggy, & it's possible he got it from the mud if he's got a small cut somewhere.

Put alittle short together.

My Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster has perked up abit. I went from tube feeding to just force feeding wettened feed.
Only thing I've done differently was I added probiotics to the wet feed, & given him a Riboflavin Supplement. Did this yesterday, & today.

The Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock Rooster continues to improve. He tried to eat on his own, but couldn't due to his stiff jaw, & upper neck. He can open his beak enough to take nibbles, & drink, but that's it.

Did a head count on my chickens, & I've got a total of 64. Our average is usually between 72 - 75 chickens.

Will be revealing chicken pelt #1, in a few days. Will be starting chicken pelt #3, in a couple days.

#3. Is my Crested Cream Legbar hen, very beautiful feathers. She's abit too high Production for my liking, lays a light sky blue egg pretty much every day.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Will be doing 2 chicken pelts tomorrow instead of the one hen.

Had to put Maran down, I was gonna slaughter him anyways though. He suddenly became ill, having a hard time breathing, becoming purple/dark in the face, & wattles were abit swollen, not majorly though. Looked abit like bird flu, so I didn't wanna risk it.
Will be monitoring the other birds. Been having lots of geese fly over the last few days.

Could be LPAI(Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza), which would be a better outcome.
Can breed for immunity if it's the case.
