I have been unable to keep up for some time now. I just do a little speed-reading and some jumping ahead, and pray I don’t miss anything important.
I would love it if someone could recap the highlights at the end of the day.

I did a summary of the two weeks that Bob was away which you could skim through here:

That took quite a lot of effort (labor of love!) so I am not volunteering for a daily update as I will for sure fail!

Thanks Kris!

If you're looking for a calcium supplement RC gave me a good hint. I'm using solgar .
I had problems breaking them at first but found hitting them with the back of a knife on a work surface is easy. I lay them on clingfilm then give them a good bashing before adding them to their food or some yogurt +fruit

Two for Tuesday, Raven and Nefertiti. It became official last night while I was watching a documentary on Egyptian Queens with grandma. When they was talking about Nefertiti she shouted "Thats it's name".

Morning drama:

Jess left the coop with all the adults this morning. Baby didn't. I threw the scratch with the big door open trying to lure the hobbit lot out. Baby screaming for mama, Jess remembered she had a baby (she's running with broody fluff up the whole time), ran back in the big door and promptly attacked the hobbit lot as they were curiously craning necks at the noisy corner. Thing was in there too, but apparently not deemed a threat. Hobbit lot scattered out doors, Hector out the bird door, the girls all out the big one. Hector took refuge in (under)the olive tree until Blanche circled around and pushed him out, meanwhile the girls are all on the other side of the coop and i have to shut the big door. After much herding, Hector joins the girls, no one will circle the coop on the big door side, so herd back around the cliff side. Go turn on light, they finally head in....half of them. Thing comes out after a beak to beak confab with Hector, who goes in, then encourage the last 2 girls in so I know they know how to get in. Go back, turn off light. I'm kinda hoping Jess pushes them out again, but the curiosity is there too. No one hurt, cloudy day, have to work, gonna be a long one.

Truly has sleep issues, she won't lay down and thus doesn't get proper sleep. Once she fell over falling asleep, crashed through poor Sally's wall. Everyone was ok, but both the Veterinarian and I have tried so many things to help her but nothing gets her sleeping at night laying down, horses do lay down normally at least once a night and can get sleep deprived if they don't get proper sleep. Poor Truly...

A harness from the ceiling she can relax into? Is that possible?
