What did you do with your flock today?

Well, today found one of the hens have a prolapse and vent gleet. I saw it as she went to roost, so she was easy to catch. I had put her in a cage, went to do something and she had gotten out.! She got to roam the yard for awhile, and it was dusk, so I approached her, and she actually didn't run, let me pick her up, and then put her in a more secure cage. For tonight she is on a table under the porch roof. I will begin treatment tomorrow. The prolapse isn't as bad as Pepper had a couple years ago, so hopefully it won't take 3 weeks.

You've got this! It'll be much easier dealing with it having gone through it before. Wishing her a speedy recovery!

The end of her comb is a bit bluish. Is this a sign of something else? To my surprise, she did not become anxious or jumpy, was just still and relaxed in her soak and blowdry without my holding her at all. How can I tell if she is trying to pass an egg? her belly didn't seem distended, and her vent is not pulsing, and she is passing small poops. I put her back in her cage, and she is happily eating birdseed candy and drinking. I did pop a 600 mg calcium tablet in her beak.

I had to rescue my Ducks several times today from all the light branches falling out of the trees. It’s such a windy day. They were screaming and hiding under bushes every time a branch fell. I had to come out and pick it up.

With my flock today I will give my 100% attention to my sweet Isa Brown girl - Basil, she is on the verge of having reproductive issue.

Her feather is tatted, she is skinny, her comb is looking almost like swollen, and the colour is pale pink. I love her so much, I am too scare to eat her eggs because it took so much from her to produce a big egg each day. She is only 2 years old. I think about what to do for her in my waking hours.

She run to me whenever she has issue or being bully by the other. I run to her for a big hug and cuddle.
