She is just soooooo adorable!

That looks like a rose comb with the polish V mixed in.

Tax: Here is another one of my Polish mix roosters comb. I call this guy Roadrunner, because the is the fastest chicken I have ever seen. My dad started calling him it, so I just decided to name him it.
I have no idea who his mom is, but his dad was Nemesis.

Everything but the kitchen sink thrown into that comb & it's glorious

Hello Sylvester017! Missed you on here.

Med'l & dental appts, therapy sessions, CT & MRI's do take up a lot of time. I'm catching up a few pgs! I think @fuentemoon gave up trying to keep up

Beautiful enough for a BYC nature contest

I have one of those! She's meant to be a Light Sussex but she has yellow legs. I've been calling her a Quite Sussex because most of her looks right

No ponies here this Sunday. Will a coo do?

I pretty much just bounce around, if I see something interesting I read it….

Thirsty Thursday

Chicks are moved. No pics of the ones going into the big coop, I will try tomorrow.

Riddick told those ladies to be nice

Navy making sure none of hers were in the group.

Mine just got an overgrown squash from the garden. I really need to keep a better eye on those plants!

Zucchini leaves are so ginormous we got a zucchini over 2 ft long under the leaves before discovering it

It’s next to impossible to get decent photos they move like greased lightning!

Today I let Whiskers and her 3 terrors roam the Summer House, it was hilarious to watch them roam from one end to the other. And watch the other stay away from them - opposite ends all day.

Marty is doing a wee bit better, but I got a really good look at her last night and she had gone downhill so fast and lost too much weight.

Her abdomen is almost normal sized now. And isn’t leaking anymore. I will keep her on the Sulphatrim trim for 10 days, and this morning I gave her 1/4 tablet of aspirin. She ate a good amount of soaked chick starter topped with some mealworms. Her crop has a good amount in it tonight. Thankfully.

I also have Twister and Flopsy not feeling well, not sure what’s up - did they get into some bad fruit? Or is it something else? Who knows, all one can do is treat the symptoms. Poopy bums and not eating to me is some sort of gastric issue. Twister has been on the sulphatrim for about 6 days, and some aspirin- she perked up by the 2nd day but still not eating as well as I want her to. Flopsy I noted was not well yesterday and very lethargic, so sulphatrim and aspirin this morning when I noted she wasn’t eating.

Likely some enteritis or something going around, I am keeping a close eye on everyone at the moment. Esp the wee ones.

I don’t think coccidiosis, it hasn’t been wet at all, and it’s not that sort of poops. I would almost say moulting but they are not losing any feathers.

Again all one can do is keep an eye on them and treat the symptoms. But the fact that Twister perked up after starting on the meds makes me suspicious of a bug going around.

Tis the season of birds flying everywhere.
