I decided to put the flock back on tylan again. I put tylan water in both water dishes and made up a dish of mash with tylan water.<\/p>\n
Dandelion started laying a week ago and had laid four eggs laying every other day. She laid her fourth one the day before yesterday so I was surprised to see her like this again.<\/p>\n
Usually it doesn’t stop Dandelion from eating and drinking so she soon gets a dose of tylan but this time she wasn’t interested. I decided to pick her up and using a dropper I dripped some of the tylan water into her beak. I thought if I could get her to take some it would start to work and then she would start to eat and drink thereby taking more by herself.<\/p>\n
A little later when I checked on her again I thought she looked a bit brighter and the crust seemed to have gone from around her eyes.<\/p>\n

I am so disappointed that Dandelion is back here again. I thought that now we were through the worst of winter and she was laying again that we would be past this.<\/p>\n

A bit later I checked on Dandelion again and she was in the nest box.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later she left the nest box and there was her tiny egg. This is her fifth egg this year and still every other day.<\/p>\n
I have got Dandelion through more relapses than any other girl we have ever had. I hope that once again Dandelion will bounce back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Today Dandelion has looked unwell. This morning when I gave out some sunflower hearts she wasn’t interested and I started to worry. A little later she was sitting with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes I could see … Continue reading
