Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Sally PB]

Maybe keep a friend in with her.

@TOMTE, that might be a good idea. Then she's not alone, gets a bit of chicken stimulation. And is less likely to be a total outsider when she goes back in with the flock, which would mean you'd have to integrate her. Or maybe you could let her hang with them for a few hours each day?

Thank you

I think we might have hydrogen peroxide. If not I'll get some tomorrow. I'll also get liquid tylenol and the triple antibiotic.

Right now she's walking (limping) around and lying down while the other girls forage. She's alert, picking at the grass. I'm going to keep her in the garage for the next few nights to keep her from jumping up and down from the roost and so the others dont pick on her.

Obviously painful but able to stand

Sybil keeps checking on her

It's wise to bring a friend. Is she particularly close to one of the others? Who does she hang out with/dust bathe with/roost with?

I tried putting Sybil with her but Sybil flipped out. I'll just let Aliss hang out with them for a while during the day.
