Hilarious!! I thought they said "Day-VID! Day-VID!" That's my friend's hubby- she has to have them and I live vicariously, as my hubby's name is only one syllable: Rick.
So, since everyone is having issues with injury and illness, it was my turn.
Friday night I forgot to close the pop door on the Ameraucana pen, and apparently something decided to attack one of my Silkied Ams. She is just at POL, too!! She didn't tell me though, so with the lack of any display, I had no idea she had an injured leg and small wound in front of her tail.
Today she came out of the coop and sat down. Her one leg is BRIGHT GREEN. Robin's egg bright.
I took her to the vet and waited for them to tell me it was gangrenous, but it's just the way the bruise looks on a blue skinned bird. She's on baytril, metacam, and saline rinse. I hope it works out and doesn't take her from me...
For what it's worth, the insulated overalls are the finest investment a girl can make. They have them for women at
TSC, and they are wonderful. If you're smaller you can even wear the kids' XL. With them, I often go without a coat- even in this weather, with just a couple of layers and my big wool sweater. I also wear fur mukluks and my feet never EVER get cold.
