@RoyalChick How is Piglet today?
@Ponypoor How is your head & Neck....and did you go get yourself checked out?!?!
@featherhead007 hope you are feeling better. Assuming you are : Have you started on Gizmo's obstacle/agility course yet? (joking - though I bet he would be great at it!)
:fl 🙏 :hugs :hugs :hugs :fl 🙏
I am most definitely hoping & praying for you and Piglet!! I do think the 'eating on her own' is a good sign. Not sure what yellowish urates mean? Do the poops look normal other than that?
Sorry, I have no additional advise/wisdom to impart - I will keep you...
@featherhead007 That first one looks like a game bird - I bet Gizmo could be trained like that. You said you have carpentry skills, I bet you could build an awesome agility course for your chooks in your yard!!!
Yes, a particularly fluffy ?lavender? or would Bijou be considered Blue (darker grey) or BR cross due to the light striping??? I think it is funny that the chickens seemed fine with Bijou up on the roost with them! Probably won't get a mouse up there, though.
LOL, evidently, you have a couple of 'butt heads', :lau:lau:lau:lau:lau
Sorry - my warped sense of humor - I just couldn't resist. No offense meant to your sweet & beautiful girls.:love
That's okay. My Exchequer leghorn has her specific name because Hubby couldn't remember 'exchequer leghorn":lau
When I would ask which chicken he was talking about when he would tell me something, he would reply "you know, the Indian chicken'🙄🙄🙄 He called her that because he thought the white...
Your post about Niamh having Tilly roosting in the grapevine soon. It made me think: "That Niamh is a wild child - Bob will have his hands full this spring" and the song just popped!
@BY Bob , I think I have theme song for Niamh:
Hot Child in the City
For the chorus, replace it to be this:
Hot Chick'n peck'n kitty
Running Wild & strutting pretty
can you feed her some baby bird mash (like bolus/force feed?)? Maybe mixed with electrolyte water to make the mash? Poor thing - she needs calories for both warmth in the chill, and for healing.
:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs
Hugs to both you and Piglet.
Now you have me really worried, as that is so...
Actually, Welsummers were created with the Partridge Leghorn - a leghorn color only recognized in Britain, which makes sense, since Wellies were developed in the Europe (Netherlands/Dutch breed).
They are in the same order (Galliformes), but different genus. Supposedly they are different enough in breeding habits and genetics that, from what i can determine, it is 'unlikely' that they could successfully interbreed. That said - if you could do that - what a wonderful cross!!!! I bet...
I so wanted to give your post a 'laugh' because of this!! It just means they love you! 🥰
Awe, she is so cute - and momma looks to be quite attentive! congrats on your new addition :)
What a handsome boy (and he has a really cute fluffy tush....but shhh...I didn't say that!😊) - and he is...
