Good morning all 23 and flurries.
Got less than a couple inches from noon to this morning. Going up to 32 today. Tomorrow morning single digits, Sunday 50..... Spring rollercoaster 🎢

Something knocked over a dp trap and dug under a repeating rat box trap. Both had dry cat food. It came between snows so not sure what it was. Something about the size of a fox judging by stride.

It's the same virus but dry pox are on the skin on their face. Wet pox is in their mouth and apparently their eyes. Anywhere mucus membrane can be reached. The pox themselves are weird. Everything I read said don't pick the scabs but I found uncovering the pox and putting propolis tincture on them dried them up. They have little feeler like roots.
View attachment 3020742This was one of the first birds to get it and i thought it had a peck injury. So when i went to clean it up and make sure it wasn't infected I pulled the scab off thinking it was dirt/poo covered. You can see the perfect little holes in the skin. I seriously thought they were maggots at first. But they are puss plugs almost. I don't have a better way to describe it. You can also see the little swollen area right inside the eye lid. That was another pox forming. So I dried up the spot on the skin and had to keep cleaning puss from the eye. I went through a tube of terramycin. This one made it with a slightly coudy eye and a scar where the first pox was. It basically tightened the skin. Got an eye lid lift the hard way. Ones I lost got the wet pox way back in their mouth where i couldnt see it to clean it. Sadly I dont think it was a pleasant death. Ones I knew had it I cleaned them up and dried up their pox. That seemed to work really well.

It almost looks like a plantars(?) wart with the little spots of crud.

Just read this article that orange corn feed had less bumble foot. Most corn around here is yellow

Ditto 😂

Bunnies got ear mites again. Good thing I have some ivermectin on hand. I need to give the chickens a once over. I finally got their coop mostly clean. At least the poo mounds were thawed enough to be removed. Now I need to figure out how to actually clean the coop. I cant use products really, just vinegar and the like. Anything else sets off my asthma anymore. Good thing i like vinegar better anyway 🥰.
Its really too small to climb in and scrub the walls, so
Im not sure how to do this properly 🤔🤔
Maybe I do need to invest in a pressure washer afterall.
