Yep. Poor thing. This morning she either didn’t want to or couldn’t get down from the roost. I brought her in where it’s warm and tubed 60cc warm pedialyte first thing. Then I offered baby bird formula mash and watermelon. She’s slowly walking around the kitchen sampling my offerings. I’m waiting for it to warm up a few more degrees before sending her back outside and would like to tube more fluids first.. I think the watermelon itself is hydrating and literally saved her life during one of her tough spells.
Poor dear. It's just not easy for her is it. You are doing amazing with her. :hugs
 
Naenae is feeling good!

I hypothesize she was due to have a day off of laying today anyway since yesterday was a 3 egg day...but that coupled with her hCG shot yesterday made it a no-egg morning. I'm happy for her body to get a break.

I just visited Pecking Garden and she had obviously scheduled a spa day. The mud bath must have been her favorite. Clumps of dirt under her wings and a muddy bottom. :love
A total delight to see!
She ran up to say hello and then wandered back after pleasntries were exchanged to scratch up near the cherry tree.
I love that sweet little bird. ❤
Most excellent!

Thanks, Bob. I kept her inside in the warmth for a couple of hours. Once I let her outside, she ran for the door, and started doing her adorable vocalizations. She’s pretty happy right now strutting around the yard. I may tube a meal soon, if there is room in her crop.
 
Go, you! You are certainly allowed to have high standards. So sorry if I sounded snarky!
It’s okay. You aren’t snarky. It’s just that the lady is very nice, but I’m not really interested in that kind of relationship with her. She’s a good friend and great person. She wants more (but I just don’t) :confused:

And I really hope that your poor hen lives a long good happy life :hugs :fl

That is a tough spot to be in. It really is.
