I haven't posted about this until now on this thread.
I/we are very relieved to be able to state that my daughter is recoving from a Covid infection. Unfortunatley one of her gandmothers and another relative look unlikely to make it.
My daughter contracted Covid at the funeral of her husbands father which was held in Poland. While I know she was not high risk and had both vacinations one can never be sure that an easy revory is inevitable and naturally I've been under quite a lot of stress. We all live together and I am high risk and her husband while not high risk is not likely to fare as well as my daughter.

My daughter is recovering.
Timeline is around 28/11/2021 is the likely date of infection.
She got back to the UK from Poland without needing a PCR test because she is vaccinated on 30/11.
Felt ill and did a antigen/lateral flow test on that day which lit up like a Christmas tree.
PCR test next morning. Positive.
Daughter renamed Sick Note and banished to the front room where she watched endless Netflix while her husband and I schemed on various ways to keep her glued to the sofa. Copius cups of tea and eggs for a few days.
Keeping her glued to the sofa became a critical problem. Husband and I retired to the shed with the intention of making a solid door with a feeding pophole.
I just can't help designing stuff with chickens in mind.:confused:
Sofa showing signs of fidget wear patches. Husband and I trying to work out if we could attatch weights to her legs and a movement sensor rigged to an alarm in case she found the strength to drag herslf and the weights out of the room.
05/12 containment no longer seemed a realsitc option. Husband and I considering whether out combined construction skills could make the shed habitable.
Apparently my design looked remarkably like a chicken coop and lots of unpleasant insinuations were made about my one track mind.
Husband and I considering hitting the Vodka brought back from Poland.
08/12 daughter did antigen test in morning and one later in afternoon. Both negative.
Daughter now fussing around the house cleaning and moving all the carefully acumulated junk her husband and I knew the exact location of.
Husband and I back in the shed wondering if a wee touch of Covid wasn't a bad price to pay for a few days peace and quiet.
 
He's really gone to moulting town!

Btw, do NOT mess with broody! She'll cuss out anyone/everyone getting within "too close" (which mostly seems to be line-of-sight). Anyone is short range of that is subject to getting the stuffing beat out of them.
I sure don’t want to mess with Arizona! That fight was convincing enough!

Incredible Covid story. Sorry that you are going through this. I have had two vaccines and am waiting on the booster. This worldwide pandemic is no fun! :(
 
Hey my chicken friends I could do with your advice and learning from your experiences.
Diana chose last night to start a full on molt. I have never seen so many feathers in my life! She isn’t quite naked but heading that way.
This (of course) coincides with the weather turning into real winter (light snow right now).
It is above freezing during the day but going down to about 25F (-3.8C) at night. The Chicken Palace seems to maintain a degree higher than that probably due to passive solar heating through the windows.
So far she seems fine, but how would I know if she wasn’t? Is there a temperature at which I should bring her in? Or are there physical signs I should look for? Do chickens shiver?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks!
Yes chickens shiver. What is the temperature in the palace when it's -3.8C outside?
 
Please elaborate. Do you think this might be for entertainment, like cock fighting? Like maybe the hawk was released to see what the rooster would do? That would be awful..
Idk. It's just wrong.
If the rooster hed seen the hawk in time to make an interception he would have given his hens a warning call. I have never known a rooster not to.
Is that a rooster? I can't tell from the clip.
Where did the hawk come from for it not to be seen.
Very few roosters will rush at a hawk unless they've seen it on top of one of their hens.
I think it's a set up.

Wow. :hugsMY YD's recruitment intake has a covid case so they are all in isolation. So far no~one else has contracted it.
 
That's not good, Bob. :( She is looking very ratty. I know you've checked for lice/mites. Have you checked for worms? Protein deficiency? Sif was looking pretty much like that while I was dealing with mites. She's looking heaps better now. I've added a vitamin supplement but as you know she is having some serious issues just now.
No mites, no lice, no worms. I'm waiting to hear from the vet on the blood work. I'm just waiting.

I'm so glad that she is recovering. I am very sorry to hear about the other family members. There are a lot of people suffering loss because of it. :hugs :hugs

I am hopeful that you will remain negative and have successfully avoided it.
