Hattie seems to be finishing her molt up. I thought she was done but new wing feathers are coming in along with some on her back by her tail. She also doesn't have her hips back yet. She is back to laying around again.

Aurora is straight up miserable right now and she is taking it out on anyone who comes into reach.

I can't believe that hens are foolish enough to come into her sphere of reach. But they do. I watched Aurora line up a shot on Betty today. She bent her head down, cocked it to the side, lined up her shot, and pecked Betty right in the wattle. Betty shrieked and ran off. She had stood still while Aurora slowly lined up the shot.

Phyllis got wacked a few times today. She would just wander within reach and POW!

Glynda would toy with Aurora. Zipping through her sphere before Aurora could react. It was like she was "counting coup" today.

One hen that Aurora allowed near her was Lady Featherington. She could walk right up to Aurora today. There is some level of respect or friendship developing there.

Really though Aurora does not hassle the Rascals much at all.

Ya I have one like that who zips around like a crazy thing! And then Penelope wants to clobber them.

Not that I can think of but maybe. They are my last option.

I meant for Jaffar. Did I respond to the wrong post?

Anyway, when Lilly had that nonspecific low grade infection, we treated with an antibiotic and she picked up after a couple of days.

Did you discuss it with the vet @featherhead007

Antibiotic?

He didn’t prescribe any

I'm so glad Aurora is finding a real friend in Lady F

Attempting to describe the situation here at my house, is kinda like (remember that sitcom “Green Acres”)? It’s like that. Except instead of Hooderville , we have Porterville, Pixley is still Pixley (and most everything is backwards in this town) instead of Arnold Ziffle, my son is Jaffar, my rooster . I’m surprised that I don’t see more biplanes at the local airport!

What did he say?

We shall see. I'm not sure Aurora is the friend type and Glynda and Lady Featherington are rarely apart. But you never know. Sansa and Lilly were an odd couple but the very best of friends.

No it is not.

It was like Aurora would say "Your face annoys me" and then....

POW!​

One last two for Tuesday
