Hens show some improvement on antibiotics
The hens show some slight improvement, 24 hours into their 3-day course of antibiotics. The fact that they all survived the first day of treatment means there’s every chance they’ll all make it, and that there are no weak hearts among them. This morning the appetite of those worst affected by the illness has obviously improved, and they seem considerably more alert to whatever’s going on around them. It’s just so great to see them looking and acting a little better after a number of weeks in decline. I’m quite clucky about their well-being, and have been stressed all summer by the awful weather and what it might do to them.
