Looks like everyday is Caturday there!

Gotta love those ears.

Yes it looks like a possum-rabbit hybrid!

As in respiratory congestion?

That’s what I thought she meant? Maybe not?

As in respiratory congestion?

Yes, she’s quite rattly and will shake her head. But she’s not infectious; no-one else is doing it and she seems to be going about her chickeny business happily. But it would be nice if I could ease her congestion for her.

Egg Video Update

So earlier I posted a video of Dorothy in the box and Lucky in the corner. Both girls laid. This is Lucky’s first egg since molt. So cute!

They're white. She hasn't produced anything with yellow tinge so far.

Woohoo!

OK not to freak anybody out, and I sure don't know my stuff, but could that be gape-worm? Does that have those symptoms? It would sound like her breathing is raspy but it wouldn't actually be her lungs, because the obstruction is higher than that, and there's the head-shaking, which I'm pretty sure is a symptom. Plus why would a chicken would shake her head for her lungs? Paranoid newbie here of course. Smack me down and set me straight please. I think you can see them if you look down her throat.

And I think we’re the only nation that eats our coat of arms.....

We you could have a giant rodent instead... I don’t think Beaver was ever really eaten in large quantities, but we did make a lot of cash off of skinning them for the fur trade, I don’t know that that is any better!

I guess it’s all about Lucky at my house today. Since she’s back in lay, she is also back to lap sitting. YAY! Check out her pretty new feathers!
