That's good news.

Went out to feed the chickies this morning... and as I'm coming inside a strangled hoarse crow is sounded.

I have a hen who crows occasionally. Sounds like nothing on earth. scares everyone because we definitely don't have a rooster!

Back from vets!
Vet got her to vomit everything up. Vet said it was rancid and full of bacteria, stones and straw.
They gave us baytril to give to her for a week.
The vet said that we had already cleared a good bit of it by giving her coconut oil and massaging it.
Happy that she didn’t need surgery.

We brought her to a different vet this time. Last one didn’t know what was wrong with her.

Excellent!Such good news.

Flock Update: My Lottie is one of the new girls. She's only the size of a tea cup & really sweet. She has been holding her own amongst the big girls but right @ the bottom of the pecking order. I have been keeping an eye on her just because she's super sweet & tiny but found she was sleeping alone when they went to roost. I have been snuggling her in with my Frizzle, Lavender, [also low on the totem pole] because it is starting to get colder @ night & I didn't want her to get in the habit of sleeping alone & the big girls thinking that was ok . When I went to check on them last night, because Lavender is a bit of a clutz & has trouble getting on a roost with all her fluff amongst the jostling, I found everyone had roosted but Lottie was snuggled up with Lavender already & Soda, one of my original BRs, had her other side. I think my flock is starting to settle.

Morning Bob! Or evening...

It can get confusing. I'm practicing on you and Krystal because they keep telling me at work that they're going to start including me on the conference calls with our folks in AUS. In my youth, I was extraordinarily good with time zones, but as I've grown older and also spent 20 years in DC I find it slipping away. What can really mess you up is leaving AUS and landing in the US the day before you left.

Definitely. I lost a day when I went to England, found it on the way home. My oldest girl has spent 8 years in Chile & I am always in trouble for getting my times wrong & ringing when she should be sound asleep.
