Our Mixed Flock Journey!

[drstratton]

Wow! That's a little scary!

Oh no! That is awful!

Yeah...it was not much fun to see our car covered in tree!

 

[drstratton]

That is great news!

Thank you Bob! Feels much better!

Hoping Maximus is better today.

Oh no. Poor fellow.

Any change for Maximus today?

Sorry I'm so late checking in! Had to go to town to get started with estimates for the car repairs!

Thank you all!
Maximus seems to be doing much better today! I decided to wait on the Corrid and see how he was after what @WhoDatChick said about her girls. Hopefully, he is on the mend. I will watch him closely for the next couple of days to see if he continues to improve. He's still not moving a whole lot, but was more active than yesterday, so I'm taking that as a good sign! He's a big strong Roo, so hoping his immune system is good and he can fight off whatever is ailing him.

Here's another bad picture of our new girl...she is hanging out in the nesting boxes...she might be broody, but she freaks out a bit when I come near. When I saw her out running around her tail feathers were very upright, they look almost as long as her body in this pictue! Looking at her here, she almost has a game hen look to her. She's in pretty rough shape!

I like to give mine a chance to work out whatever ails them as well. This feels like a sound choice. What does his poo look like. Is it normal?

I'm not sure...I need to see if I can figure that out. I should be around all day tomorrow, so hopefully I will be able to see. It's hard with such a large flock running around. I will try to see where he's roosting tonight...that might be my best option.

Check his craw tonight for sure. Make certain it is full.

Good morning Bob! I checked it last night. It wasn't completely full, but not empty either. His poo looks okay too and he seems much improved this morning! Thank you Bob! I think he was just fighting something off!

That makes me very happy. I would check him again tonight to see it is more full.

Good idea Bob! Thank you!
