Can you tell which one?

Whoa! It's been a while since I've last been on here . Things have been so busy now that I am back at work! I hope everyone's doing well! I will try and get up to date on this thread over the next few days...

In the meantime, I'll share this bucket full of cuteness

Welcome back! They are adorable.

Okay, let’s get more into it. I truly loved her, and had marriage plans in the next two years (I was buying a house for her) waiting for her to finish college and have a perfect life, job, and me, in the United States. I was also very involved in the Marshals office at that time. Point is… life goes on, things can and will change. Ever ride a roller coaster? Life has its ups and downs (seems my coaster is faster than most others) but I move on.

Deana is not a well girl

From the front she looks fine. Bright eyes, red upright comb and an inquiring look.
The other end is a different story. Tail down, runny white and green poop sticking the feathers together and her abdomen feels kind of full and mushy, like a water balloon.

I examined her and couldn't feel any blockages. Trimmed off the yucky feathers and gave her a bath.

Her appetite seems a bit depressed, though she will happily take meal worms! She is still preening too.

I feel like I am getting mixed signals about how well she is.

The front will try to hide bad goings on from everyone as long as possible. The back is telling me she needs help. I would very quickly gamble that she has an infection going. Can you get her to the vet? If not, I would suggest getting her on an antibiotic quickly.

That's no good ACM! You know your chooks and you know when something is different. I'm still having issues with River, it's so draining!

On no. I guess I awoke Jaffar. He and the others are in the chickens room across the hall. I sure like the sound of his crowing. But, this means the start of another busy day for me.

How are you feeling today Alex?

Stuffy nose, otherwise I’m good

I’m gonna go scramble some eggs and cook a steak for these hungry beaks here staring at me. (Thanks a lot Jaffar )
