They are fabulous! Where did you find them? Phyllis is honored by the way.

Thanks! There is this amazing antique store here that I go to often... it’s where I find all my chicken decor

Only a chicken lover, can really appreciate such beautiful artwork!

I believe you are correct, sir!

I'm afraid I'm going to add to the tales of woe. Fat Bird has a problem with one of her eyes.
It's doing that bubbly corner when something is in it or it's received an injury. It doesn't look good.
I think the vet is open on Monday and if so that's where she'll be going.
Two strange things. I had a look at her eye with a magnifying glass and saw what could only be some kind of mite on the lower eyelid. I got the mite, and naturally gave Fat Bird a full on check for any more. No other mites or even signs of mites present.
But, when checking her nostrils and her ears on the side of the bad eye, I found what I can oly describe as a tiny earwig type creature. Got that as well.
I've given her eye a wash with PH neutral water and put some eye drops in. Apart from the obvious eye problem she seems fine. Ate well at supper time and headed off to the coop seemingly untroubled. Of course I didn't let her walk up and gave her a carry.
She was roosting with the others when I looked in a while ago. I'll give her eye another wash in the morning.
One really annoying thing I've discovered is I had a pair of wooden round nose tweezers with were ideal for removing bits from ears, eyes and mouths. I can't find them anywhere.

Oh, no! Not Fat Bird!

Bed Time Last Night

So I was up and ready when Sydney took them to bed last night. Everything went swimmingly until the very end.

You can see at the end Ned/Nanette out in yard on the other side of the coop. Sadly this resulted in several more tries as Sydney came back down to get him/her and Lucky came along. In the end I would have to help Lucky up onto the porch as she could not get both of them into the coop at the same time after the first effort.

They are getting much better at it. I still need to watch to be certain though.

I need a facepalm reaction.

Did anyone else think Lily enjoyed that?

I hope the mite and ear wig are the causes of her eye bubbles. She's a dear old girl.

Roxy update: No metal. it’s an intestinal issue of some kind… She’s bloated and gassy and likely bleeding, since she’s very anemic and has a lot of inflammation cells. We could try to treat her with barium and antibiotic, but there’s no guarantee. And the could also be cancer, even though that didn’t show up on the x-ray. I’m not sure what to do. To try the barium and antibiotic and take her home or to just end it. I need to make a decision and get back to them.

How awful for you.

We spent the day at the pool. It was a beautiful day! The kids played and swam for over 5 hours straight!!!

This is the aftermath!!! Lol

Anna is so tired she can barely keep her eyes open.
