MJ's little flock

[BY Bob]

Breakfast in bed with my friend.

She had been ignoring me since I got home. She appears to no longer be angry with me.

Good evening folks

Hello rjohns

 

[MaryJanet]

Does anyone use tumeric? It's worked wonders for me and my animal's. Not the battery girls Agatha and Tina they won't go near it , YET!

No.

Ever since Peggy's liver crashed, I feed the diet recommended by the avian vet, which is high protein pellets with added milk thistle, biotin, choline, and dimethyl glycine.

I made lunch for my feathered girl's this morning.

Eggs cooked over a pan of water with raw kale

Then added it too wet layers with calcium and minerals supplements and 1 cap of charcoal opened then mixed in

They have just had yogurt for desert

Here's the eggs process

Did you ever find out the protein % of the layers food?

Did she dust bathe?

I think so. I saw some sand heaved up in her vicinity but when I got there she stopped. She had a good meal and a good long drink. She'd been roughly a day and a half sitting.

Because I tripled the depth of the straw, I decided to leave her be until she gets up again. If her legs are cramped again, I'll interrupt her and get her back to a walking and standing lifestyle.

She looks wonderful. I will say this. While the nest may not be optimal, it is suitable. Sydney hatched from just such a nest and so have many other chickens. She chose that place because she feels the most safe there.

I understand Bob, but I'm not convinced it's suitable for Mary. She's already a slow mover (with possible joint problems) and I don't think a flat surface is her best option for brooding.

 

[MaryJanet]

But after reading James Brown's bio I didn't feel like dancing to his music any more. So I switched to this one, which is a gentler warm up (probably a good idea). When it's time to add a second song, I'll choose a real heart-starter

That tea cup is magnificent! I know it's probably new but I love it!

I've had it for a few years. It was a gift from a friend. It's not an antique but it is pretty with all those butterflies
