Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

I moved her inside when the rain hit last week. She is basically anorexic so I didn't think she would be able to keep herself warm. I think the legs giving out is just related to how awfully thin she is. Everything she eats just goes straight through her so she is just wasting away. I had got her from pooping evil smelling brown water to what looked like undigested food diareah but can't seem to get it better than that.

I was very surprised to hear her chirp under the blankets over her cage this morning. I really didn't expect her to make it through the night. She is still eating and drinking though a lot is just dribbling back out her mouth. I actually went and got some baby oral thrush medicine today and have given her that 3 times today in case her crops turned a bit sour due to the lack of everything moving properly through the crop and that's behind the dribbling. I figure at this point there is really nothing to loose because she is literally at deaths door.

Fingers crossed she is still with us tomorrow morning.

On a positive winry has recovered enough and is doing solid enough poops that I've been able to put her back in the coop. Carl is looking quite good too.

You've done all that you can. Fingers crossed she has a full belly and a restful night.
My roo that was staggering went down , I've given him multi vitamins and he is scoffing his food down and he managed to get up today. He was nearly dead when the other roo beat him up and I managed to save him then , but this time I think the goat may have knocked the ramp leading up to the nest box and it hit him on the head.

That's a good site Annie, I've referenced it many times, certainly one to bookmark.
 
Ashburnham What beautiful girls and such handsome fellows. Happy birthday dear old dog.

Fancy I’m happy you escaped this one. Hopefully you and your animals stay safe.

Appps I hope colonel gets better, its great that winry and carl are looking better.

They certainly keep us busy don't they. Glad to hear he is improving!
 
We southerners seem to have escaped this one. The Huon has had some minor flooding and our top paddocks are full ATM. Our northern friends are battling though, big clean up and lots of livestock turning up in people's backyards, dead and alive. :(

I have seen news reports of animals mainly cows turning up in unexpected places very sad to hear. Glad you have missed the majority of this one

On a lighter note, Dutchy is settling in and managed a workout today. :)

Looking settled and happy

My silkies are in full swing, laying like little champions. I decided to hatch out some of jaffas babies as he isn't getting any younger.

She is still with us, had to make hubby check this morning, I couldn't look.

She's not eating as much today and standing less but she's drinking still so I'm just putting everything in her water (polyaide plus and probiotics) and she's taking the anti fungal on bread. She really deserves to live poor thing, she's giving it her all.

Don't give up on her yet, I was going to get hubby to my roo down on Monday but things have been so hectic and today he is back up and walking around. I do believe his is a neurological issue though.
My one eyed hen 'chicken little ' has managed to hatch a Wyandotte chick out this morning , I had given up on anything hatching and today they are pipping,
