*edit because I also wanted to say that maybe I’m just freaking out over nothing but I would rather look silly than loss some of my girls.Thank you! I just scrambled some eggs and took it out there. I also added some acv with the mother to the water. I have the dewormer, I’m just not sure how much to give or how well it will go. I may have to wait until tonight after it cools off a little and give them bread with it in it. Otherwise I don’t know that I will get most of them. And a lot of them won’t eat from me. They want what I have, but won’t eat. And some linger behind and wait. Ok, 1 does. And she is the friendliest.
I was checking her feet since she has feathered feet and I didn’t see anything but she scratched my hand trying to get away. These are the pictures I was able to take before all this though.
I’m also adding one for their food. I’m wondering if this metal rod has anything to do with it. Because it sets in the sun in the afternoon until about evening hours if it’s not too hot. Cause none of my Ameraucanas or the Easter Eggers are having any problems. Their combs are flat and don’t touch the metal rod. I just seen her do it and I was standing there sweating and it hit me that might be the problem. We want to put a tarp over the front of their home, just haven’t done it yet. I only got one above the dust bath. This just kinda speeds putting one over the front of the house. Which is where their food and water is. We planted a maple tree but for it to provide shade in the mornings probably won’t happen for a few years…maybe next or the following.
