I haven't heard back yet. I'm almost positive he's doing to be confirmed. I've had chickens with it die before prognosis, and now my dog is shedding lining. He's being treated. We have it in the found out here and I try to be vigilant, but, I'd say this little guy already had it and making the trip pushed his immune system to the edge.

The other buck, pictured, is calling out for his friend. I let him follow me for evening chores but I'm afraid to let him near our pregnant does. It's our first time kidding with Nigerian. I'm used to Boers, hardy fellows! The size difference is amazing to me.

Here's Phineus, he's a cutie.

The little guy actually didn't test positive for cocci, however, he did have twisted bowels. Explains his lethargy and his lack of interest in life the last few hours. He had also bloated, but, due to his small size I didn't recognize any of this. I should have with the solid dog style poops and his going off feed within hours of arrival.

He may have had it and not tested positive. My dog having it may have been coincidental. I don't know.

Regardless of that, the rest of the herd is doing fine.
