Unsecure chicken perches

[memphisto]

Lottie's been quite badly beaten up by her hen sisters, they've plucked her bum red raw and despite a few days of us cleaning it and septi cleanse and ST, she's very sore.

 

She's sat in a box in our kitchen chirping along to the radio, so not too bad, just don't want her getting worse, at least at our vet (an agricultural vet) has a flat fee of £17 to see and treat chickens

[docsquid]

Oh dear, I hope the vet can sort her out. Sounds like she's enjoying the radio though...

[memphisto]

All sorted, antibiotics and orders for a bath tomorrow!

 

The vet was very knowledgable and only charged me for the Baytril at £3.65, so very happy with that

[not enough chickens]

wilkinsons(im sure others do ) sell a tar for feather pluckling its supposed t discourage them pecking at the bare skin and has some sort of antiseptic stuff in it , £6 a tub, cldnnt tell you if it worked tho as i havent needed it thank fully

[Cheeky Chooky]

Poor Lottie. Hope she's better very soon

i took agnes to the vet this evening. £20 for an injection of anti-inflamatories. should last 3 weeks this time. thunk she needs to get laying some eggs to pay for all the expense she is costing me

Oh bless little Agnes, I'm hoping she'll be a happy hen very soon
