Granny's gone and done it again

How is your knee healing Blue? Mine was better when I don't use it as much but mine isn't broken. I can imagine how much of a baby I would be if it was.

@twisted-acres-farm , Do you remember the Christmas gift you sent me of the 5 dogs and Santa flying overhead? I just wondered if you knew how many years ago that was? It is still shining Bright. Must be on steroids!

So, what did you figure out was wrong w/ her? Thank you!

Thanks Blue, This was a case of community pulling together that I just wasn't expecting. Its an amazing feeling.

This is my VERY uneducated guess that she has worms which caused her to have soft shells which led to infection. I have to wait till pay day on next Friday to order the medicine. I am going to treat the whole flock. After I treated her with the colloidal silver I told you guys about she had a complete turn around!! I did stop the calcium because she had already taken it 8 days. It didn't help. I'm really hoping after I get her treated for worms she will start laying again.

Well, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for a bone to heal, so I guess we're about halfway there? I see the ortho on the 30th, maybe she'll release me from the leg immobilizer and wheelchair to the walker and several weeks of PT. We'll see! I mean I'm still on the recliner or in the wheelchsir, this is my life right now.

@Granny Hatchet I remember how good I felt when I paid off the last of my mother's hospital and funeral bills. I was broke. No help. Wound up taking out a small load and sold off everything I could in order to buy her a grave marker.You never know what you can do until you have your back to the wall. It was nice that they cut you a break. Just proves there are nice business people out there.

I had a weird thing happen today out in the coop. I have a little bantam rooster that I helped out of his shell on my last hatch. He was a late hatcher and mom had left the nest abandoning him so I wound up hand raising him with chicks I had incubated inside as she wouldn't accept him back.

Well, he grew up into a brat. My only aggressive Silver Duck Wing rooster out of about 30. When ever I go into the bachelor pen he will do his darnedest to either attack my foot but recently he has taken up sitting on a shelf and if I get close enough, he will reach out and bite me. Today when he did that I gave him a good whack on his side sending him off the shelf onto the floor where the little dickens went at my foot and shin. He's small enough that it would be funny if he didn't really pack a punch with his attacks and needless to say, his spurs don't feel all that great. He's broke the skin on my leg before. I couldn't catch him nor could I reach him. He flew at me again and to my surprise one of the other bachelors put himself between me and Rascal and fought him back. Rascal turned and said enough and ran outside. It was almost like my rescuer was saying, back off idiot, she's the treat and food lady! I've warned Rascal that he would fit in a quart fruit jar but he isn't impressed.

Have any of you ever heard of a rooster protecting a human or had it happen to you?
