It’s a beautiful day to swap out fly traps…

Calamity - the same hen with the issue last week - decided to helpfully remind me that I’d bought “fly inn” traps to swap with the cheap normal sticky traps because the inns have a cover over the sticky section to keep the hens from flying into them.

Don’t ask me how a silkie flew into not one, but two traps. She got a coconut oil massage, a dish soap shampoo followed by tearless puppy shampoo, a thorough rinse, and some brushing with a combo of a furminator (carefully, and mostly to cut out the clumps where the glue wouldn’t come out) and a toothbrush. And a blow dry. But hey, her vent looks great. I had to stare at it while trying to make sure all the oil was out of her feathers and she was totally dry.

She’s in the bathroom for now but I grabbed one of the chicken diapers and I might just let her hang out with me while I run errands today since she’s damned and determined to be a pain in the ass and doesn’t seem to mind sitting in my lap and preening.
