A few days ago we noticed that Flame was sitting with her head under her wing. A little later I noticed that she had her right eye closed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was gutted as I thought that we had got her through this. I wonder if her age and a really heavy moult and the heat is enough stress for the mico to return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am aware that I can’t keep on treating her, given her age, if this keeps returning and I have to think of the health of the rest of the flock. I may have to make a decision at some stage that it may be kinder to have her put to sleep. But I have enough tylan for one more treatment and I feel that I can’t give up without once last try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the flock are back on tylan in the water for five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the second day of the tylan Flame was looking better. Yesterday we gave the girls a lettuce from the allotment that had gone to seed and Flame was the first to it. By the end of the day it had completely disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other news we now have no girls laying. Sugar is broody again after laying nine eggs. Gold and Snowflake haven’t laid for a week so they appear to being taking a break. Storm stopped laying half way through July after laying fifty five eggs in three months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t think we have ever had no girls laying at this time of year before. I am hoping that Gold and Snowflake will start up again. I will put Sugar in the broody crate once they have completed the five days on tylan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am really not sure how this will go with flame but will have to wait and see how she is at the end of the treatment. I will come back with her progress and will keeping my fingers crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snowflake laid late this afternoon so we now have one girl laying again, hurrah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
