First-- she's alive!
No heating pad. She's so taterin weak. She did move herself a bit in the night.

I don't see any injuries. She can move everything. When I say covered I mean covered. Ex called and said there is a dead chicken in the run. So I drove over and when I looked in she was laying there in a awkward position. (It reminded me of a bloated deer on the side of the road if I'm honest. One leg in the air, head bent back.) I went to pick her up and she kicked her legs and tried to move her head around. Pretty sure "JC she's alive!" came out of my mouth and I yelled to the ex, "get the door". I brought her down to the basement and ran warm water over her. We've had rain and thunderstorms this weekend so their run is a mud pit. I'm not sure if she got stuck then it rained and she got splashed with more. That's my best guess.

She drank on her own this morning. I put some nutir-drench in it. Then added a little of the Kaytee baby bird powder. Very loose slurry consistency so she can drink it. She lists to one side or the other if I don't hold her upright. She does this weird movement with her head I don't like. It reminds me of the ticking CC did before she died. But with Sugar it isn't as rhythmic. It's more like a kid trying to fight sleep. Got her propped up and resting. I plan on offering slurry every few hours.

Do you have any nutri drench?
 
Good morning all! :frow

I was canoeing all day, and then went to the super-cheesy annual Columbus Day fest in Seaside last night, so was absent for a spell, and :eek: !!! A lot of stuff going on!

So, I'm gonna attempt an Apryl-style post here...

@rjohns39 : Sorry to hear about your GS, but stop freaking out!!! He will not get sepsis. They removed the source of the infection, and likely put him on a good, strong broad spectrum antibiotic until his C&S results come back Then he will be on a specific anitibiotic. So no sepsis!!! I bet he is doing much better already! :hugs

@Redhead Rae: :woot :ya Congratulations on the upcoming, newest little MD!!! So exciting!! Take care of yourself and don't overdo it. So happy for you!:wee

@staceyj and @Anansi : Huge congrats on your new shiny badges! Well-earned, my friends!

@FlyingNunFarm : Keeping Sugar in my thoughts. I hope she is OK. She has the best possible chance to pull through with you as her mom and caretaker. Poor baby! At the very least, she knows she is loved, is comfortable, is dry and warm, and is getting nutrition. You are doing all you can. :hugs :fl :hugs

Love you guys! :love
 
Good morning! @FlyingNunFarm so happy Sugar is still with us that poor girl is just having the worst luck.
That lady I bought the yoga tank from was nice enough to write me a real e-mail , not just automated but a real e-mail! You guys know there is a space for notes on a purchase right? Well in that space I wrote "I love this, not enough Faverolles items in my life.:)" and the lady e-mailed me. Isn't that nice? :)

Maybe a 100 watt bulb to supply a bit of warmth?
 
Well those hineybees are back! I'm just glad there are still plenty of flowers for the hummingbird stragglers. Fella probably won't have bees come next year since he harvested much too soon and obviously too much! Really any would have been too much, colony isn't even a full year in. They are cleaning me out in the sugar water department for certain.:caf
 
3rd meal down. She seems warm enough. The laundry room is part of the house so it's a good temperature. The rolled up towel is to keep her propped up more then anything. She doesn't want to open either eye. Oddly her bad eye is first to open.

This is her good eye. It looks a little swollen and maybe bruised to me. I can't get a good look in it. She certainly doesn't want me messing with her too much.
Right now I'm trying to get sustenance in her. A little at a time is fine with me. Soupy kaytee baby bird food with nutri drench is the menu.
