What did you do with your flock today?

Thanks for keeping us posted. What oral laxative and what dose how often? Curious ♡
Also, if you don't mind letting us know how it is working for her. ♡♡♡

The laxative is called lactulose, she gets 0.8 cc twice a day. And the meds that help her muscles contract more is called metadopramide. I will definitely let you know!

Aloha all and happy Aloha Saturday!
We have been working on resetting the arbor for the garden this last week. When I say we, I mean 99% DH and he has been doing a great job. We got the new footing poured on Thursday, and that part was a we thing. Curing yesterday and today and we will reinstall tomorrow. Part of a needed garden/chicken run refresh.
Flock has been lovely and starting to kick back in with the egg production after mountains low light, move and molt hiatus. It is wonderful to collect beautiful clean eggs after the mountains muddy eggs. DEFINITELY a plus for the dry sandy area I live in. New nest boxes are a treat too!

Chickens being beautiful as they moonscape the front yard. Spider always wonderful with asking me to lift rocks for bugs- for his girls. Such a fantastic boy ♡♡♡

Settling back into the run in the eves, filling their crops and discussing hierarchy never gets old for me. Don't know what it is about chickens starting out or ending their day that I find so enchanting. Don't think I am alone with that on this site.View attachment 2889561
Last batch of littles getting big. No desire to do another hatch at the moment. Want to swim in eggs of a bit.View attachment 2889564
My pal has not come by to pick up her chicks like we had scheduled and it make a very fun crowded house. Very enjoyable batch.View attachment 2889570View attachment 2889571
I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable weekend! Aloha all!

I love all of your birds! Spider is adorable.

I moved the SFs to one of the runs out in the yard so they could eat the grass for a while. All of the other birds were swarmed around their run, acting like they've never seen them before.

Good evening y'all. Just put everyone to bed, it's 6pm and pitch dark. But I did get some quality time with the littles and had a Walmart huddle in the yard with the older hens. Beautiful weather, love Fall in TX

Hey I have 7 hatched not 6

Good evening! It’s almost the end of another way too short weekend! It was a weird day today for the chickens…Betty laid her egg much earlier than I expected and sat in the box for awhile and had me worried she was already going broody! Luckily by 11 or so she was out and about with everyone I got lap visits from three of my chickens that NEVER voluntarily visit me, and Brad even climbed up to sit on my chest like Puff likes to do I will know they’re plotting something serious the day Mumble decides to visit me on her own she is so skittish!

Newbell got her next round of meds and I feel like her crop felt much more normal and squishy today! It still looks bigger than normal but not tight like a filled balloon I’m getting better at using needles for meds but I still hate it

Sun is going down at 4:30…blah! Gonna be dark soon!!

Life is better for the birds if we have the skills to do certain things
