Butterscotch Update Page 6

Ok, she just had the most AWFUL poop. What could this possibly mean??? Does this look like any particlular illness??

 

[SpottedCrow]

I just love Splort on the carpet, don't you?

It looks looser than normal, but the white on top is the urates and the colour's okay because of what you're feeding her.

 

[Lunachick]

I've seen poo like that, looks normal considering! You're doing great. Butterscotch looks great, come on give yourself some credit, and encouragement!

 

[FarmerDenise]

Count your blessings that your carpet isn't supposed to be white. Ours is, and it pretty much was, when we moved in.....

good photo though. This reminds me of when my daughter was a newborn, the talk always got around to poop.

Fingers crossed over here for Butterscotch!

Any luck with the feed store, finding out who had the chickens or if there are others to help?

 

[TxChiknRanchers]

Save the chicken, toss the carpet!

Finally today was THE day!!! How can you possibly explain the excitement, the thrill, the exhileration, the sheer joy of running to check box when you hear all the ruckus, and there actually being something there.

Our sweet Butterscotch was the Queen for the day. Yes, I am double dipping with my bounty today by posting on the Butterscotch thread too. But had to show everyone how well she was doing.

Isn't it grand. It is truly the most beautiful egg I've ever seen. "sniff"

I won't tell everyone she is in the garage and since it is freezing and raining she is not getting much light in there except when I remember to leave the light on all day and turn it off at night. So she is not getting any extra light by anymeans and still she rewarded us with our FIRST egg.

It is seriously embarrassing how emotional one can get over this stuff

 

[Cuban Longtails]

That is a nice BIG egg!

I'd bet that's not a pullet egg.

Which (IMO) means Miss Butterscotch is at least a year old.

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Congrats! You have well and truly earned that egg with all you have done for her!

 

[IHeartChickens]

Oh! She must be in good health to be laying in the dead of winter. Congrats to you both. Well done.
