    So I go outside, and the others pecked her skull open. Not sure why, she had a LOT of dandruff on her when we moved me to the new house. So this is her repairing in my washroom. Cool makeshift 'nest' huh?! She is up and walking today, eating good. Hope that means it's getting better.

    So, after the stray dog attack day before yesterday, Clarabelle showed up!!! Torn up some, patches of feathers missing but my baby is back. Doctored her good. But, only have one left at this age in the picture. Can't mix ages well here, older ones tease to death. So, I have a new baby....
