When the whole gang gets in on the turf shifting you know you've made their early evening root around that bit better. It was one of those weekends where, even though we had guests, stuff just had to get done...in something like 24°C. The space here where we've removed grass will be a raised bed section with pebbly paths. The beds will hold all the earth we have to move from the front of the house in order to make a space for the old shed out front. We took the shed down on arrival at the house just over a year ago. Removing it made way for the girls' run and allowed us to take bricks out of the garage wall for their pop hole... that hole opens into the sectioned off part of the garage that they have to keep them ultra safe at night. And now we need to get that shed back up in its new spot pretty urgently. Luckily we had some spare fence panels at @yorkshireallotment and Clara on hand to oversee the design and engineering of the beds. By cutting some fence posts saved from the one we took down when we moved (Treat Man covered this) we were able to bash together some raised beds for free because we already had a whole box of decking screws! #butyoushallhavetowaittosee #anotherdayoffaffingwithsoilbeforetheyrein The only problem now is that they've turned out somewhat taller than I anticipated so we now have the opposite problem and we are in fact a smidge short of topsoil/compost/manure. Even Stella got in on the action moving turf out of the way. Yesterday she spent a good three hours or so with the others. She's much much more pale than she was which worries me but her poos have improved ever so slightly, there just aren't many of them and those there are are about half the size of what I'd like to see. I reckon the wormer and the coxoid are making her feel utterly terrible but she does appear to be eating reasonably well. Just two more days of mega meds and it's on to the energy juice and the probiotics alongside her antibiotics and antibiotics. #keepituppetal #chickensofinstagram #backyardhens #chickensinthegarden #ukhens #pekin #chickens #ukchickens #chickenkeeper #urbanhens #bantam #happyhens #petchickens #chickensaspets #orpington #hensofinstagram

Morning meds time. I've got this antibiotics-tablets-crushed-into-soy-yogurt method DOWN. There has only been the one accident where she got a face full and it went all over me #smellsfruity #probstheyogurt #showersforeveryone The smaller syringe is the anti-inflammatory goodie that makes her feel a-okay #welikesthatone Yesterday we found out the results of her swabs and biopsy on the nasty cheesy (sorry) stuff our vet removed... And we paid off our whopping £850 bill... I cannot adequately express how grateful we are for the help we've had settling that cost. It's thanks to this INCREDIBLE community that we can be confident we don't have Avian Tuberculosis in our midst (the mass removed looked suspicious). So thank f*** for that! It would have put our chicky keeping days to an end! What we do have is a seriously resistant bacteria. Thankfully the meds she's on (see disgruntled birdy in photo for feels) are those which will *on paper* fight what she has but because of the nature of the nasty, it may be to dense/gelatinous for the antibiotics to penetrate and kill it off... So we are back at the vets on Thursday to hatch a plan #allthechickenpuns Meanwhile she's also on Flubenvet for worms (that's in her pellets) and Coxoid for coccidiosis (that's in her water) . It's ALL fun and games here! #BeardyBantamStella Oh and yes. I am reusing them. We are trying to get rid of as much plastic as we can here so I'm rinsing them by squirting them clean under the tap. Not perfect but certainly better than 20 big plastic syringes going in the bin so far! #chickensofinstagram #backyardhens #chickensinthegarden #ukhens #pekin #chickens #ukchickens #chickenkeeper #urbanhens #bantam #happyhens #petchickens #chickensaspets #orpington #hensofinstagram

Friends of mine say Treat Man gives great hugs and I think Stella agrees. We're giving the antibiotics another few weeks because her procedure on Thursday didn't show much improvement and I wasn't able to say she'd been more or less herself because of all the additional meds she's been on to clear worms and such. Thanks to the #instagramchickenfam we're able to see how this goes and return her for another looksee in a week or so. If the mass has shrunk then the antibiotics are working and we can battle on... if the mass hasn't changed or has gotten bigger then... well let's give her a chance and see what happens. In the meantime there will be many snuggles and treats as we try to build her weight back up to fighting fit. She's lost about 100g so far and in a 700g lady that's quite a bit. I'd like not to be able to feel her keel bone as much as I can and I'll focus on that for the next week while carrying on with the antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds. #BeardyBantamStella #chickensofinstagram #backyardhens #chickensinthegarden #ukhens #pekin #chickens #ukchickens #chickenkeeper #urbanhens #bantam #happyhens #petchickens #chickensaspets #orpington #hensofinstagram

Meanwhile... Her bestie is inside in the warmth with her own private strawberry but little Clara doesn't care. Right now nothing matters to Clara except BABIES. I've changed all their nest bedding for new hay and sprinkled in a few herbs in there so it smells lovely. She hasn't noticed. She *did* noticed me turf her out into the run for a snack and a drink though. There was much screaming and ranting... aaaand then she noticed me leave and she hurried her little butt back in there to wriggle a hen-shaped groove into the newly fluffed up mix. #CleverHenClara #broodyAF #NEEDSbabies #chickensofinstagram #backyardhens #chickensinthegarden #ukhens #pekin #chickens #ukchickens #chickenkeeper #urbanhens #bantam #happyhens #petchickens #chickensaspets #orpington #hensofinstagram

I've had to leave this little lovely with our vet this morning (if you have supported us please check your DMs on IG because you will have the extended video of the meds waiting there). She's got to go under briefly for our vet to assess how she's doing and whether the antibiotics are in fact having any impact on the resistant bacteria we're dealing with. He's hoping to see that there has been some change with the size of the cheese-like mass created by the bacteria and may scrape some away if he can. I asked the agonising question about the rest of the flock and their risk of similarly contracting something from this particular bacteria. It seems it's a bacteria that is pretty much everywhere and isn't a problem in faeces. The issue Stella has is much like a urinary tract infection in a human... some things that shouldn't have, for some reason, go the wrong way and get stuck in the wrong tube and then cause something horrid to flare up. So yet again we have just been super unlucky. Another agonising ask for me is whether the #instagramchickenfam can support us any further. I don't know where we will get with this but it seems to me that we are looking very much at a long and protracted course of antibiotics and multiple procedures to check progress. She was so much brighter this morning and we wouldn't have seen that improvement without the help from the community which genuinely left me bowled over, so my fingers and toes are crossed that the long road to recovery has begun... And that's down to the family. Thank you. If you can help further our PayPal address is yorkshirefeathers@gmail.com For now... she's where she needs to be to make sure we've done absolutely the right thing by her and to beat this. Oh but my heart aches. Half through gratitude, half through worry. #chickensofinstagram #backyardhens #chickensinthegarden #ukhens #pekin #chickens #ukchickens #chickenkeeper #urbanhens #bantam #happyhens #petchickens #chickensaspets #orpington #hensofinstagram

YOU DID IT!!! I'm STUNNED! We can afford to try surgery! THANK YOU! We've booked her in for the op for Monday morning. She will be dropped off and I hope so much that we get her back. It is a risky procedure and we're waiting until Monday for both the avian specialist vets to be there so she has the best chance... but given the severity of what they're going to do... we just have to hope. The challenge I have now is to get her through to Monday still eating and drinking and in a suitable condition to undergo major, major surgery. The infection she has is absolutely causing her so much pain so we are heading back to the vet tomorrow to see if there's better way to keep her comfortable and interested in food over the weekend. From the bottom of a truly overwhelmed Treat Lady's heart, thank you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. Let's hope she comes back to us and the aftercare is straightforward. #unbelievable #thatissomeseriousgenerosity #whatacommunity #gobsmacked #noreally #audiblegaspseachtimeadonatikncamethrough #chickensofinstagram #backyardhens #chickensinthegarden #ukhens #pekin #chickens #ukchickens #chickenkeeper #urbanhens #bantam #happyhens #petchickens #chickensaspets #orpington #hensofinstagram
