Hello everyone!
I haven't been on for a bit because work got in the way - you guys move so fast I am sure I have missed loads...Colourful, I am so excited about your Emus! Will they be friendly if you keep them do you think? I would like one or two if I had room but have to confess to being a bit in awe of them; guess its different if they are yours?
Afro made a full recovery from the tick, but we were back at the vet on Saturday as she had some weird neurological thing where she couldn't stand up. It was very odd. He gave her some calcium and a pain killer and I had to keep her in intensive care (in the house and front garden...shame!) for three days. The next day she was running around like normal and ran away when I went to pick her up. She is now officially the most expensive chicken I have had!
Thank you for telling me to persevere with the porridge, they love it! And yoghurt as well!
I noticed Walter had a bit of a pink bottom this morning when she was eating, her feathers look a bit odd down there as well, its not hot and doesn't seem to be sore (when I touch it) and she is eating and behaving as normal, is there anything I can put on it or do I wait and see what happens?
As for the aviary, my silkies sleep in one (with a bed inside it), they have a mini run outside it for when we go away but otherwise free range. They love their aviary, but I have to wrap it up with tarps in winter so they don't get chills...
Pinky, I didn't even know you could have a post deleted! And who cares if you say who you took to buy or sell? And why would you tell people you don't care about over the Aussie bunch? Maybe whoever did it was drunk?!
Glad little afro is making a good recovery. You are such a great chicken mama for taking such good care of her.
