Update:
RUBY WENT TO BED ON A ROOST TONIGHT!
She seems to be gaining strength on her own. I’m amazed. No free ranging time until after work. I did get some kefir for mixing in layer pellets, kale and hulled sunflower seeds (Ruby’s fave until this latest bout of illness). I’ll sprinkle surprises around the run tomorrow before I let them out.
So I have decided NOT to let her free range on her own. Thank you to all who offered advice, especially
@Kris5902 on
@BY Bob ‘s thread and
@azygous, one of my mentors, for your ongoing support
Wonderful news! I am gojng to follow @azygous' suggestions to build up my #2 roo. George is a yearling BJG who suffered some frostbite to comb and wattles this past Feb, and #1 roos has begun to pick on him mercilessly. No blood drawn that I have seen, but #1 runs him off the food and scratch... George is quite tame so I think I will put him in the bachelor pad for a while until I can build him up. So glad Ruby is doing well!
