Welcome neighbor. Nice to see more folks in this general area of the state.
Well dang it. I have a sick AM.
Left to go to a friend's house earlier (around 3:30).. Since my original plan was to be home all afternoon I had let the AM out. Didn't see them ANYWHERE when we left and they wouldn't come when I called them (read something a while back where someone said AM stick close to home when free? Pshah!!) so I had to leave them. Hubby doesn't take kindly to me chasing after chickens when he's in the truck ready to go.
Anyway. Got home a bit ago and there all home but one was laying down inside the run while all the others were eating nearby. Hubby walked over and looked and said she was just bathing.
I went out after coming inside and the rest of the flock had moved to another part of the yard and she was now puffed up, standing just outside the run alone. I caught her up (with which your roo, Papa, was MOST displeased) and looked her over. No wounds but her crop is small and very firm.
I have nothing to stick down her throat to get water or oil down and have fought tht fight with far calmer breeds without success. I have no idea what she's gotten into but the rest are 100% normal.
Congratulations on the hatch, flower.
