baby duck with lots of problems

[Smurfbrew]

Turbo is beside me here on the floor eating and drinking by himself. This is the second time today that he has fed himself. I do have my croc shoes in a V with him in between so he can hold his balance. He's doing really well.

Etsy contacted me today to see what color harness I needed. I told her blue or anything that looked boyish. I hope they get it done soon.

Have a good evening I have to start supper in a little while.

Hooray! That's great news Patty!

That's great news about Turbo feeding himself twice today. Always happy to hear about the progress he's making. I'm so glad you haven't given up on him, so many people would have by now

I'm not giving up. I'm in for the long haul. As long as Turbo shows me he wants to live I'm there for him. He's a trooper.

Turbo started out this morning eating by himself but I had to assist him. It's just so exciting to get up and eat breakfast sometimes you just contain yourself. You have to jump across your food bowl or land chest first in your water bowl.

They went outside for the PT work. Que Sera was her usual loving self. Giving Turbo kisses which he doesn't like one bit. Que Sera decided that Mrs. Brown's tail feathers looked to cute and she couldn't resist nibbling on them. Mrs. Brown turned around and gave her the stink eye. She is one of the teenager chickens. I asked Hubbie if he would go in the back yard and get one of the baby ducks to see if Que Sera would play with it. I hear the awfullest commotion. Hubbie doesn't get just one baby duck he herds the whole family out to the front yard. Both Momma ducks, 2 babies and the Daddy duck. Que Sera couldn't hug my ankle fast enough. Que Sera cannot understand why those Momma ducks have to quack so loud. I had to herd them back to the back yard where they gladly went.

I hope everyone has a nice day it's awfully hot here.

This is a little off topic but I wanted to tell you all about what Ozzie (the dog) did awhile ago. I was sitting out front with Turbo and Que Sera and a hawk flew into a tree about 10 foot away from us. Ozzie was on his hammock behind me. Ozzie started growling and run for the tree. The hawk flew off. I told him he was a very good boy. This is the dog that is scared of a banty rooster. Ozzie is going to get a steak come payday for his good deed. No telling how many times he has did this without anybody seeing him.

Turbo ate like a pig this morning and ate his lunch outside. He loves to picnic and the teenager chickens love when he picnics. Que Sera stayed inside while Turbo did his Pt on the boards. He made several loops back the other direction which saves me trips to turn him around. I opened Que Sera's cage door and she didn't come out. I guess she wanted to hang out with Princess. That is what we call her refection in the mirror.

Still haven't heard from Etsy since they asked me the color of the harness. My grandson will have to take pics of him when he gets it.

Turbo was 4 weeks old yesterday. I used to be afraid of looking in his cage every morning thinking that maybe he passed away. He is beating the odds and hopefully one day he will walk.

Have a great day all.

What a great update Patty, he sure is beating the odds we're all pulling for the day when he doesn't need that PT board any longer. Is he flipping less?4 weeks give him a birthday kiss from Me.

and of course Que Sera would want to keep tabs on how she is looking making sure every feather is in place.

you know how us girls are.
