I just realized that I never have an update! My hen that was sick. She was too the point where there was no meat left on her bones and she struggled to keep her balance.... she's made a full recovery! Her muscle mass is returning and she's back out with the flock like there was never an issue (she had a saddle on now lol)
My daughter's Pineapple is out with the flock now and is quite the turd. He loves attention but is the master of the sneak bite. Blackberry and Blueberry are in the broody cage that's in the turkey coop, learning their new home. Blueberry still has some weird issue with his one leg where it goes straight out behind him some times. I believe that we'll probably raise him up and eat him but we'll see. Maybe he'll find a pet home somewhere. Strawberry had to be put down unfortunately. She had wry issues that just would not correct both in her neck and her legs. It was very weird. Blueberry and Strawberry have been the only poults all year to be born with strange issues.
Pebbles is STILL broody. I've been kicking her off the nest every day to go eat but she's been broody now for what, 2 months, maybe 3? I gave her a few silke eggs that DD forgot to collect and that had started developing. We'll see what happens.
I completely cleaned out the turkey coop last week and got all of the old, nasty, glued together straw out and all poop boards scraped to perfection and dumped bag after bag of shavings in there. I think they really like the shavings. It's so nice and clean in there now lol
