Hugs to AussieChics, feel better soon - it's always the first couple of days after surgery that are the most painful. :/


Bumblebee is doing well, though I do see her limping out in the yard during her outdoor time (she comes in at night and when it rains so I can change her bandages and clean her wound). I suspect at the moment the limping is more because of the restrictive nature of the bandage than the wound itself. No matter how I wrap it, it pulls her toe slightly backward (the position of the wound makes it a challenge to cover properly otherwise). I frequently find her standing on one foot unless she has to walk.

She gets 1/5 of a 100mg tablet every 6 hours or so (which she just pecks out of my hand if I tidbit for her vocally) and gets a chaser of my homemade blueberry yoghurt to soften the effect on her tummy.

The swelling has almost halved at this point. I'll get pictures tonight after cleaning her wound. She is becoming more and more tame as her treatment goes on. Most nights, after her bandage change, she just wants to curl up in my lap and go to sleep while I scratch behind her head and she purrs at me.

<3 Chicken love

Meanwhile, I've posted pictures of Bumblebee in her chicken nappy in various places - mostly in relation to my intention to post my pattern online and have been copping crap from people about how it's cruel/unsanitary/insane to keep a chicken indoors for any length of time - some people (people who keep chickens, I might add) going so far as to say that simply cutting her head off would have been less cruel than keeping her inside when it the ground is soggy so that her bandage stays clean.

I don't understand humans and the more I have to deal with them, the more I love my chickens. -_-

I will never understand people with logic like that.

I don't think I could ever have a chicken inside full time. I fully understand why you have yours inside while she is recovering. I've done it before myself. It's really none elses business but yours
