Yay! Hope she's doing better today.

not exactly...i see little black spots on her skin. not sure if it is new feather growth or mites. she moves to fast for me. she seems to know whatever i see will upset me. she follows me everywhere. every time i run up the pathway, she chases me.

 

[Chickensfan]

she also seems to think i can help her. (the vet can do that, i can't. i already tried!)

 

[bunsnpupsnchick]

poor thing...could be feathers. i vote feathers. she's really wanting your attention i think.

 

[Chickensfan]

she is so cute. just now i hand fed her some scratch and oyster shells!

 

[bunsnpupsnchick]

I love when they'll do that, it's so cute. Yay, she's eating...definitely a good sign! I just gave mine frozen peas...they go nuts for it.

 

[Chickensfan]

yes, she eats drinks and poops fine.

the vet appointment went fine. Hats is just getting a little bullied. the vet suggested Bluecoat for that. the vet also seems to think she is a he....but i don't care what gender Hats is, i am keeping him/her forever. i have decided to call him Hats instead of Hattie. lol wow, i am so glad Hats is ok!
