ah ha! Part hobbit, must be part of why you are so good at gardening. Do you enjoy elevenses too? Sorry, we just watched LOTR part 1 the other night -a family favorite.

Do you know they need treated with thiamine after treating for cocci?

Hobbit-es were farmers. Farmers eat second breakfast.
Yup just poured elevenses.

@WthrLady I do have vitamins for them for after treatment that contain Thiamine. Thank you, I appreciate any advice I can get! I also have probiotics too.

Morning all. Cold out there! Not supposed to get much into the 30s today. Hoping that kills all the pollen & my allergies lighten up.

I have to take a ride & drop off a sample for a fecal float for the new girls. Man do I despise this avian vet - he told me the respiratory disease my first set of birds had wouldn't make them carriers for life when I specifically asked. My set of 4 older pullets disagree. Had I known I may have culled the original 4 & started over. Anyway, I called this am & asked if I could drop off a sample he said well I can't do anything without seeing them, it's been over a year. I said they're backyard chickens, I'm supposed to bring the whole flock in for an annual physical every year? WTH? I said I don't need you to treat them, you can tell me the level of coccidiosis or if it's worms, right? He hesitated & then said he would. Now I feel like I should just bring it to my dog vet instead. At least they're competent.

Ugh, sorry for that rant that has nothing to do with the garden!!

Have a great day all!

Oh my heavens where di they get thew DVM mail order

What did you do in your garden today?

I picked a bunch of Rattlesnake green beans and Cherokee wax beans, a few tomatoes, three eggplants, some broccoli shoots, and jalapenos. Pretty happy with today's harvest!

It's summer here in South Africa so busy busy busy ... Watering, weeding, harvesting (tomatoes! so many tomatoes!) and planning more (raised) beds - I need place for my onion starts . And I'm also growing herbs to sell so I've spent a couple of mornings (coz it's cooler) transplanting the starts into pretty pots for Christmas prezzies. Also (organic) spraying my fruit trees and checking the fittings on the drip irrigation system - they're always clogging?! ... It's 8PM and I'm ready for bed .

Aloha garden gang.
Raked leaves, talked turkey plan with DH, made waffles (waffle Wednesday!) and am on my second cup of joe.
Last night when I went to do my after walk chicken check I found a 1.5 yo Brahma hen laying outside of the coop. I picked her up and noticed she had a little bluing on her comb and she was not able to roost. Brought her in and did a vent check, nothing. Crop was not full... hmmm. So I smushed an antibiotic in Papaya and syringed it in and put her in isolation. I thought she would make it till the morning when I could do a more thorough check up on her. But she only made it a few hours.
In hindsight, I did know she and a few others were slow to get back into the run. I saw her looking a little down but I have 5-6 hens molting right now and she was one. I just feel sorry for and give added protein. I did not notice her walk. I will have to spend extra time with the feathered kids today.
I have all the hens separated together from the roo's today. I was slow to realize they probably don't need the added stress of being chased and mated, that is a young girls game though Shredder is sweet, polite and not that interested in them the 2 young roo's are.
Anywho, I buried her this early morning w/o opening her up. I am sure she had an infection or was bound or another reproductive disorder. Poor girl.
Just going to do a major coop and run clean up and some chicken thinning and moving. We have thunder storms off to our North and South so won't count on it being a dry day.

Stay well and safe all!!!!

Girls trying to distance themselves from Earl yesterday morning. He is a sweetheart that they mostly pick on so I thought it cute. Not sure if that is the Brahma I lost, if it is- more added to the mystery.
