No more losses as of today. We did a major cleanout and bleached the coop. Chickens are looking better. Not seeing as much loose stool so that's always a plus. We mixed the drug they need into their water so we will see how that goes. Got some quality pictures on my moms camera which I will upload some time this week, maybe tonight if I remember lol.
ETA: We have added a ton of baits for the rats. We also bombed some holes we found around the outside of the barn. We were actually having some mice problems, but I havent seen any since we baited.
In other news im sick, I thought it was just a cold. However my throat has been getting worse and worse throughout the day. I have tried lots, I had tea. coughdrops, and salt water gargle but it still burns. To top off me feeling bad, the weather has been soggy for two days straight. Went to the doctor and I have a virus of some kind. Nothing I can do now but ride it out.
Sorry to hear that for Sure!!....we just went thru it here...the only thing that seemed to help is Vitamin C, alka-seltzer Plus, and zyrtec....ran its course for about 3-4 days...starting to get back to Full strength now....Hang in there it does End!!
Here's a few pictures I took on Sunday. I got nothing better to do so I thought I might as well upload them I took over 100 pictures but only certain ones meet the "post to BYH" criteria.
My pretty piggy girl Trish. She knows her name now and comes when I call her
Here is Mr. Kevin O' Bacon, how could a face so sweet be such a brat. He has been better(more or less) about biting. We think he bites out of fear vs. aggression.
I hope you feel better and the chickens keep on improving for you! I had a virus like that a few weeks back. Worst sore throat ever! No fever, in fact my temp was way low (95-96*) and then I started coughing and the congestion was horrible... Lots of hot tea with honey and or cinnamon works great too.
