    MJ's little flock

    She looks good ! I don't know if she was glad to see you or that you brought the salad but it seems she enjoyed your visit 😊. And it sounds like the people at the practice are really trying to make both the animals and their owners as confortable as possible ! Yes, I think you are both lucky to...

    MJ's little flock

    It seems like she is in good hands. Could it possibly be something she swallowed ? Yes, being hospitalised isn't easy for chickens. Possibly the fact that she has already moved housing may help her to adapt more easily. I hope the chelation works and Katie gets better ! Please update is...

    MJ's little flock

    Is she eating again now ? It's also possible that the antibiotics makes her tired for a while. I hope she recovers.

    MJ's little flock

    How is Katie doing today ? There was talk last year of the EU passing a proposal completely banning veterinary antibiotics use, but it didn't happen. If I understand correctly, legally for the EU chickens are classified in the food production type of animals, as opposite to company animals...

    Both are strictly forbidden for laying chickens in France. Edit to clarify : some antibiotics just don't have the authorisation for chickens but do for other animals, and some are explicitly forbidden.

    I didn't know them. I have trouble understanding what they say, but the videos are still interesting.

    MJ's little flock

    Good thinking to check ! Hopefully not. It seems many times not all the chickens of a flock that is exposed to bacteria or parasite actually get an overload but only the ones whose immune system is a bit more fragile at that moment, or who are more sensitive.. Did the vet mention if there are...

    Our vets bill are less expensive here but I'm not sure how to compare fairly since salaries and life costs are so different.

    Not that New Zealand vet ? Saez the vet ? Edit : Sez:he, not Saez

    It's really nice you can share this with your brother. Does he have the same attachment to the house that you do ? I agree with him that gutters are very important. We certainly realised that when we screwed them up repairing the old house's roof 🙄.

    MJ's little flock

    That is a lot of eggs ! How many chicks would you like to keep so that they become adults, ideally? I love the bantam Australorps and I would definitely get them if I lived in the place where they come from. But Australia is so big that I suppose it doesn't say much to say they are Australian...

    0.5 Celsius? Nearly freezing ? What are usual cold morning temperatures in Adelaide, wouldn't that be unusual?

    MJ's little flock

    What is it ? When I try to look up the meaning I find lots of things... that don't make sense in regard to hens eating them 🤣.

    MJ's little flock

    Hope you feel a bit better after the rest day. I love it. It feels like a mix of vintage and contemporary vibes. It must feel very satisfying to finally see your vision for the veranda come to existence.

    MJ's little flock

    Hope you both make it through to calmer times. I'm sure the chickens comment about all that human drama and how stress can make us act strange and even sometimes impact our health 😉. But wait- MJ's chooks are actually far too polite to make such comments !

    Any hole you decide to make can easily be temporarily blocked if it's not hard to reach- even a piece of cardboard works.

    MJ's little flock

    She seems to be tasting it like a very fine vintage ! Any clue how much she weighs ? She looks like a big hen, but maybe it's all fluff ? I hope you enjoyed the wedding, and that it allowed a break from the work dark hole period.
