Not necessarily. It can present in a wide variety of ways, including internal tumors.

I had no idea.

I brought home some books for Vi from my classroom for the holidays. Appears to be a bit of a theme?

She’s doing amazing with her schooling, her reading just tested out at the expected level for term 4 grade 1 (she’s in prep), very proud of her

Hello —

I wanted to apologize for being so silent right after I asked to join this thread. I've been trying to follow along quietly, but so many things have happened this summer, and so many troubles with our birds. Mites, potential respiratory disease, sour crop. It's kept us so busy that the only time I ever had to read on BYC was when I had a question or had to double check a fact.

I wish that I'd been posting here, though. I know that all of you would have tried to help me through these problems, and would have given me much support.

@Marie2020 you have done a marvellous thing for those girls. I’m sure they will settle down in time seeing them basking in the sun is beautiful!

@BY Bob your babies are growing so fast! Me and Violet watch the videos of them together. We love their little peeps I hope Phyllis and Sydney have sorted out whatever the problem was!
New cameras are cool too

I hope everything is settling down now.

I was about 10 years old when we watched the 80s series, I loved it! I’ve seen episodes since and absolutely cringed! Same goes for Knight Rider, Buck Rogers and Automan. Ahh, the 80s!

Roosters moderate the hens disputes a lot here.
They do lots of other things that may not be seen in the various keeping arrangements people have.
If you are interested I wrote a rather long article on why roosters do what they do.

OMG: Wonderful article in the link! Thank you for sharing the knowledge. While some of it I knew from observations, some I definitely didn't, and this is quite helpful (even though it is not safe to free range here - wish I could.)

This is the second most devastating day in my life.
It’s DEAD
