Ponies a cross the moor?????

Where did that come from?

Does it reflect a moody yearning for freedom and a love of nature?

That's a lovely photo!

It's not exactly what Rach had on her wall but it's close.

I think that I did a jigsaw puzzle with a picture like that. 1000 pcs. (And I didn’t need a hammer either)

I have a sick girl. Waiting @ the vet's now.

Oh no. I hope the vet can help.

Off by herself & loss of balance.

Yep. Coccidea. I've decided this is a very insidious disease as it rarely presents as described. We have antibiotics & the Baycox. Expensive. Hopefully we've got it in time. The vet seems to think so. She was impressed I'd got to her so quickly.

Great catch. You really are getting good at noticing when they are off. You are right though, loss of balance is a new symptom for coccidiosis. I've never had off that before.

I've lost a few chickens where that was the only symptom, which makes me think I've lost a few to coccidea. I've always been able to tell when one of my girls is off. It's knowing what to do next is the hard part for me. Thanks to Shad's bread & honey tip she is gobbling down her antibiotic with no fuss @ all.

The loss of balance has thrown me before because it's not a listed symptom. Sadly for the chickens this is something I've had to learn through trial & error.

I've got a wormer ordered as well but it will be a couple of weeks before that arrives. Covid has really screwed with our mail. I've waited over a month for my new bank card to arrive!
