Latest report & new pics!

Gimpy grey boy has integrated wonderfully in special needs pen and all four look happy. Gimpy is still limping, but there is minor improvement.
Adult bumblefoot pair are healing nicely and will be released back into pasture tomorrow. We will tag them with a bright orange ziptie to monitor better.
The adult grey boy is clearly in distress with his limp and I will be pulling him out of pasture tomorrow.
The adult grey girl does not appear to be in distress, but she needs a closer exam as her gait is quite funky. Plus, she will make an excellent companion for the adult male.

I have two appointments scheduled for Wednesday... 10am for xrays of adult greys and 2pm eye specialist exam for Blind Girl. FYI, the first picture is the adult female with the weird gait.

Their all so pretty! You and dh have done a wonderful job.

They look very happy, Iain. Yay!

I noticed today that my little dewlaps are starting to build their neck dewlaps!! I need to go get that address for shipping feathers to be sexed from Celtic again. I'm ready to know (but nervous about peeking).

Thanks! We are trying to get them fat and happy before they go to their new homes.

Yesterday, we tagged the adult bumblefoot pair yesterday with bright orange zipties and released them back onto the pasture. They look a lot better than they did when we pulled them 10 days ago.

Before:


After:


We also pulled the girl with the weird gait/brownish beak and the one that appears to have a crooked leg. We put them into our side yard with our 3 drakes, and they share fence lines with both my special needs group and my personal dewlap group. Both have funky stuff going on the bottom of their feet, but I am hold off treating until after their vet appointment on Wednesday, as I am going to do my best to build trust with them over the next few days.

Here are pics of the boy's foot:

Here is the girl's foot:

Nice pics Iain. Good luck at the vets. I hope the babies really sweeten up for you.
