Poor Pecker the Plymouth Rock rooster is very sick. After consulting the vet – he was such a calm and cooperative boy, she informed us that he had a trachea virus which may or may not have reached his lungs. We had done the right thing and kept him isolated and warm over night. She gave him antibiotics and instructed us to administer the liquid twice a day for five days and to let her know if he was not much better in three days.
He is still resting in his hutch in the laundry. I hope he returns to his healthy self.

Meanwhile, we have been offered a new chicken house from our next door neighbour. It is painted duck egg blue with windows and a gabled roof. Colin, with the help of his dad and uncle and anyone else who was about spent the day dismantling it.
Fingers crossed for Pecker! Enjoy today’s back deck evening view. Take care.

Thanks for the well wishes kind words. He stood up this morning and ate some feed – so let’s hope he’s on the mend.
