Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[ValerieJ]

But I feel my math is way off…. I have had a headache all day and now know that I goofed on the maths. I should have just used 1cc in that 100mg.

It would have been the 10cc to work down 1,000mg not 100mg

So, if I understand this, you under-dosed him?

Yup… I’ll go give him the rest of the 9cc when I go back out later

He sure isn’t happy to be dosed though.

Whew! That is certainly better than overdosing! So glad you have it figured out. I was getting a headache too!!!

Today is a very sad day. I went out to the coop and found my beautiful Sunny dead on the coop floor under the roost. I bawled like a baby. She wasn't even 2 years old.

Yesterday she was fine, as far as I could tell. I have no idea what happened. I could not bring myself to do a necropsy. Just couldn't. I have her bagged up in the freezer, and I'll bury her in the garden when the ground thaws. I will not throw her away or let the raccoons have her.

She was my lap chicken. (Pip is too, but less so.) Sunny would let me pet her. I petted her when I took out chickie snack yesterday afternoon.

I cried again when I took out chickie snack today, because she wasn't there.

Fly high and free, my beautiful Sunny Girl!

Oh no! What a beautiful girl. I can see her affection for you in that look right there. She looks calm and content. You gave her a good life! Your tears are drops of love in the skies she's happily soaring through now.

And this is what I have found out online - seems that there have been no adverse effects at doses of up to 1000mg/kg daily.

And there is no egg withdrawl period if I ever need to dose the flock.

Very beautifully said

I have never been successful switching my chickens to nipples either. They seem to want a trough, so we make sure it is kept clean.

Peanut butter with scratch or sunflower seeds stuck in it. Adults mastered the switch in 1 day.

I didn't see this so my apologies for the late reply.
This is so horrible to hear. Sweet little Sunny gone too soon. How are you doing now since it has been almost a week?
Side note: this is the first I'm hearing of freezing a chicken.
