Welcome Breac!
It is always great to see new Wisconsinites on the list! In what part of the State do you live? I'm in East Central WI, not far from Poy Sippi. I saw with interest that you have a Vorwerk. Where did you find one? They are quite lovely and very, very rare.
Is anyone else dealing with "killer" mosquitoes? My gosh, I feel like I'm being eaten alive every time I go out to take care of the animals. Yesterday I sprayed down with insect repellent 3 times and they were still biting.
I'm building a pen for my coop. This is a project that is taking forever. However, considering that I can only get to it onn the weekend, I suppose it's to be understood. Yesterday I mounted that run gate and put up most of the wire. I bought a "gate kit" from Menards which is super easy to use. Now for the last little piece of side fencing and then the top and digging around the base to bury some wire. The worst part is the roofline. It's one of those little "Dutch" type coops and I'll have to do some cutting and pasting to make sure there are no holes. I promise to post some photos, but it's a challenge with my I-Pad. I need to get on a real computer.
Just an up-date on my coccidiosis problem. After losing my little Salmon Favorelle last Friday, three more showed symptoms (fluffed feathers, mopey, under the weather). They are all on the "Corid" and I also gave them yogurt (which they didn't eat). Yesterday, Sunday, They looked good, so I put them back into the coop. I wanted to keep them inside for a few days, where I could monitor their stool for any blood.
More later,
