Official Squatch Watchers

No idea how old she actually was but i'd wager under 27 weeks. Those two pictures of her are only a couple days apart though. One is the 6th and one the 11th so in that little span the patten just dissapeared. Her son got it and now it is back on her.View attachment 1573906 Marlene's son Cletus and a tiny Negan.View attachment 1573911 He's a BIG boy now, turned out huge.

Legs like an eagle!

This was her Friday.

I found her huddled in the coop dripping with mud today.

A warm rinse and a car ride.

Both her wings are at least half new feathers. Most of her body is covered in them.

A snack in front of the heater.
I don't like the way she looks. She's very huddled. That heater is set to 80° and she hasn't moved. I keep turning her like a rotisserie. Warm one side, then the fluffy butt, then the other side.
No other signs of sickness. No cough or sneeze. No bubbly eyes. She hasn't pooped since we've been here so not sure on that. Belly feels fine. She's not thrilled with eating either. She just stands in the warm breeze.
And Gladys keeps doing this weird thing to freak me out. She screeches but not like "get away" she sounds scared. And when I look in her bad leg is stretched forward and her head is down, eyes closed. Almost like she's trying to scratch her face but it's scary looking. I don't know if she's having a seizure or what. So I'm off to YouTube for videos....

Oh no, Nunny! I'm sorry. That really sucks....

I kind of want them to be at least 100 yards away before I contemplate any violence. Still terrified I'm gonna catch one in my raccoon traps.

Been there, done that. Not pretty.

Please tell me about Fenton. Ive seen three of those glass chicken dishes at estate sales in the past month!!
Should I be snatching them up!!!!!?????

These pics are authentic Fenton pieces on sale in the gift shop. (I work for Fenton)
The one on the bottom shelf in the first pic is $145! (I took the pic for something else, not the chicken lol) The 4 on the other shelves are $125 each. The 2 together are the smaller versions, still $55 each. But that’s retail. They can be found cheaply, but collectors will pay a pretty penny for them if you find the right ones.

You are certainly having a string of bad luck.

Last year, her first molt, she didn’t feel well. You could just look at her and tell she felt crappy.
This year was much the same until a few days ago. She seemed to suddenly feel worse. I can feel new feathers all over her body. She doesn’t like when I touch by her tail. Lots of large blood filled feathers coming in.
I hope that’s all it is.

@FlyingNunFarm
Nunny,
I am saying this from my heart.
You’ve had a bunch of sick babies lately.
Please be careful since you don’t know what you’re dealing with yet. If they are all connected you could be contaminating your new property.

At the very least, make yourself a dishpan with an old folded towel in it, well saturated with 1:10 bleach water to step into - at the doorway to your sick room and probably your back door too.

And don’t wear clothes or shoes out to the new coop that you wear around these sick ones.
Just as a precaution.

Shoot Nunny....I am so sorry.

Can you get photos of her eyes?

Everyone has been carried in through the garage. I’ve washed all towels or blankets between uses. New coop still isn’t occupied but my coop shoes have only been in the old coop.

Hoping it is just the molting getting her down.
