5 minutes later, she cecal pooped on me.
I didn't feel it at first. I smelled it. :sick I thought I was safe, as I'd seen her poop (regular poop) just before she jumped up on my lap.

I peeled the shirt off before I got in the house and left it on the porch. I hosed the poop off, and hung it on the railing. It'll get a regular washing in the next load.
 
@ChicoryBlue : I'm so sorry you lost her, but I agree with everyone that there wasn't anything you could do - other than keeping it safe, warm, fed, & comfortable as you did. :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs How is your burn doing? I imagine a burn that bad will take a while to heal, but I'm hoping you've been able to keep the wound clean and prepped enough so that as the skin grows back, it isn't hurtful to play/tight on the hand.

@RebeccaBoyd : I can not imagine enduring the heartache you have this year. I don't know what to say - so many losses in so many different forms. I guess the only thing positive I can say is - at least you have Owly and Branche. It seems Owly is quite perceptive for such a young chick - but then, sometimes I think our pets know us better than our families (or at least read us better) :hugs :hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs

@knoturavggrl : It sounds like you have a great treatment option, I will be keeping you in my thoughts.🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️


Sorry I've been mostly a 'fly-by' this week. Came down with nasty case of covid and could barely function the first 2 days. Not out of the woods, but definitely doing much better today. This is the first day I was able to eat anything - about 2 tablespoons oatmeal, and later in the day about 1/4 of a banana definitely an improvement!
:hugs I'm sooo sorry about the Covid. I had it in 2000 and spent 6 days in the ICU. Take a ton of rest and fluids. Get well soon!
Oh and this is the mystery weed in the chicken yard that might be Savory.
And for tax another view of Piglet so you can all tell her if her butt is considered fluffy.

This looks like rosemary to me. My favorite herb.

Sheba remains well...or at least okay. She still stands and walks wrong... for lack of a better word.

And her eggs are all over the place. A week's worth doesn't really look like they're all from the same hen! Is this much day to day variation normal? This is six days in a row.

One of my favorites too and it definitely isn't rosemary. I wish! But I agree it looks like it and when I first spotted it that is what I thought too.

I agree, that is not a normal stance or walk. I am less worried by the poop - the white is the urates which other animals pee out but in birds comes out together with the poop. I can't say it looks normal but it doesn't look wildly abnormal to me.
Her walk almost looks like there is something wrong with her back or pelvis. Remind me, is she laying eggs now or no?

Jello and Bovril may help. Sure hope you’re feeling better soon 😟, make sure you rest lots 💕

It is odd that the egg colour is all over - not sure the significance of that, my hens eggs don’t change colour like that in a week.

Hoping someone else here can offer info ❤️

Thanks for the warning about the Covid. I will wear my mask when I’m on line here. I don’t want to catch that bug again!
