Maybe that is what mine are doing and I am just overly sensitive and interpret it as criticism!

I think mine prefer to criticize after the fact.

Supervising :gig :gig

Psyllium husk acts the same as porridge! Forms a gel to coat stuff you want to move out. Hyperuricaemia is a sign of poor kidney function. I wasn’t aware metal toxicity could cause that. Good that it improved. Will they check it again in a month or something?

Yay!

Looks perfect.

That is a very good one. I should really get one of those. I use one like this: https://a.co/d/70qwwvR But yours is superior and I will get one. I sweep my area a couple of times a year to catch as much as I can. Usually find a couple of things.

I think metal detectors tend to pick up big stuff. The magnets on telescopic sticks are for little things like screws and filings. Bob mentioned the one you linked is a bit small at the end - even with the bigger ones it is a tedious exercise, I think the small one is setting you up for...

She looks quite perky to me!

I would love a mobile vet. I am in driving distance of an exotic animal vet who I quite like (no specific chicken experience but so far she has been helpful). But I feel like the journey is a bit stressful for me and the chickens (though actually the chickens seem quite interesting car rides, so...

Is there a plan to get rid of the bit of presumed Nickel from her crop? Either surgically or by other means? I once worked for a Scottish surgeon who had a patient from the local prison who swallowed razor blades and bed springs. By the time he was brought to the hospital it would have been...

That’s horrible!

Goodness! Did X-ray show any hardware? I remember Maggie had a collection of screws and a washer inside when she was X-rayed.

Oh I would be very worried too. I really hope she is going to be OK. :fl
