This is what happens to Fat Bird.
Mostly normal but feet too close together but tail up and head up.

She can turn her head either way and stay balanced.

Here she's taken a few steps and is reaching fro some grass. Head and tail starting to go down and she wobbles.

She's got the grass, head low and her tail is very low now

She fell over. She got up again of her own accord and staggered over to my feet. I picked her up and sat her on my lap for a while. When she wants to be taken to the coop she makes a quiet escort call.

Poor girl. I feel bad that she is having these struggles. She’s a fighter, though.

I took this video of Ned talking to his girls the other night. He is becoming a nice rooster. They listen to him and he listens to me. It works out quite well.

How cute is that

Beautiful birds! I’m really fond of these. How are their personalities?

I forgot to add this photo from the Easter Show. It was one of the art entries.
This is consolation for not getting to see many of the chickens. Youngest took the photo because they thought my chicken friends and I might enjoy it.

Sounds rough.

It’s really no different than it has been the past several years. I think it’s just that I got to the breaking point. I’ll be fine. I’ve been a rock for many, many years and now will be no different. I just had a patch of weakness. Tried to lean on someone I should be able to lean on, but instead was faced with defensiveness, anger and accusations. Ego is a very powerful thing, sadly.
