MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Sandy took a proper drink and followed it up with a dab of sunbathing.

MJ.. I’m so happy Sandy is doing better! And I am also happy that you can relax now
These animals.... they’re like our children

 

[MaryJanet]

They really are! It's very preoccupying when someone is sick.

Sandy ate about a third of her eggs & salmon before giving in to Mary's demands for a fair share. I may bring Sandy inside for her weekend breakfasts in future. It will keep the others from disrupting snack time.

Now she's got a little scrumptiousness in her tummy, she's spending time and energy on a dust bath. First one in days.

A change of topic

Now that Sandy's on the mend, I thought a new topic might be nice. So, here's Blossom (aka "Monkey Trunks") being inappropriately affectionate with my belt. Strange little thing, she is. Of all the things to rub her face on...

I'm not sure because she keeps faking things like thirst, appetite, joie de vivre. Probably, she's eating less. Although she definitely ate some breakfast and her crop felt full at bedtime.

The good thing about faking good health is at least she has the energy to fake it. A couple of times recently she hasn't been able to find first gear.

She's teaching me to watch very carefully.

A very important lesson.

I didn't realise how tense I was until I relaxed. So glad the worst is over. Between stints at the desk, I'll be watching her carefully today.

I'm very grateful to you and all my other chicken friends for taking an interest in her.

It is amazing the additional stress a sick hen will put on you. You never realize it until they start to improve. I cannot say in words how glad I am that she is on the uptick.

She kind of looks like my daughters munchkin, Bubbie, with longer legs
