Never limping?! 😲 That's interesting. My girl definitely has a little hitch in her giddy-up, but she seems quite normal aside from that. I'm hoping she'll continue to improve without me having to put a bunch of extra stress on her. 🤞🤞
Nothing I've noticed. They might be a bit slower a day or so, bit nothing I would mark as limping
 
This thread has been unusually quite...👀

How's everyone doing?

Happy October! 🎃👻

Update on Ginny: My husband helped me wrap her toe so that the bottom joint(?) is taped closer to the toe next to it (moving the displaced toe into a more natural position), but she can still move the other toes, and roost with the flock. She seems to be doing quite well! Still walking weird (especially now that it's taped and bandaged), but eating, drinking, laying like normal. I'm keeping a close eye on her and will likely leave the bandage for at least a week. ❤️‍🩹

Yes this thread needed to be resurrected, thanks @ChickyCh00k ! :D

I LOVE October, my FAVORITE month of the year!! 🍁🍂

Thanks for the update on Ginny! Sounds like she is doing well, she's in good hands with you! I am confident she will make a full recovery. :)

Enjoy your day ChickyChook!
 
All is well here! I love October, its Halloween season!!! Although I do spend a little less time with the birds, too cold!
It's already too cold?? :D It's not even January yet, better dig out your winter woolys and long john's so you can sit with the birds! 😂

I usually don't long for colder days, but the mosquitoes have been INSANE since August here, which has made me spend less time with my girls 😖. I can't wait for the frost!

We haven't had a frost yet here either, but it has been down to 37°F already. This week it's supposed to hit freezing overnight. Skeeters haven't been too bad here this year, but the fleas and chiggers have been horrible!!

It's supposed to be in the 80s in my part of Michigan this coming week which means more mosquitoes! It doesn't help that my property has a big (green) pond and is surrounded by woods - mosquito heaven up in here!! I told my husband we need more chickens just for mosquito control 🤪.

Oof to fleas 🫷! Fleas are worse than mosquitoes in my book. I don't know if we have chiggers around here... @Sally PB do we have chiggers in MI??
