887g at 3.30pm. She had 8ml of liquid food.
But I heard a squirting/gurgling noise which scared the life out of me. I'd made the food a little thicker than previously as she's had diahorrea quite badly for such a long time now. So I'm hoping it was the noise of the food coming through the needle.
Half the mash was gone, but I suspect her friends of having eaten it. That's OK because they're showing her it's tasty and safe to eat. I've made another to much the same recipe, but without water as the liquid food, keffir and tomato seemed to make it wet enough. I'll let it stand until 6.30pm.
All three pullets are outside running around now and Lorna was very happy to be allowed outside and ran off with her friends. Surely she'd not have been running if I'd filled her lungs with liquid food? As I was refilling their water container, I noticed Janet assert herself over Lorna, who was hiding under a lawn chair. Lorna sprinted for safety. I have never seen her run so fast. So I think I've decided I haven't done her any harm, and the noise I heard was indeed the thicker liquid food coming through the needle.
Hopefully, she'll be above 900g at roosting time and I won't have to feed her
