Ribh... you really do have a gorgeous flock

Thank you, WhoDat. I think they're rather pretty myself.

Hi, Jeannie yes I do, but I have to get these conferences done and some parents don't answer email or the phone I do like to take walks out and check on them daily

I know one of the issues the schools suddenly discovered is that not every child has access to a personal computer. Some families still don't have even one. It has meant they've had to revise some of their distance learning ideas.

Yes I toddle out to the pen throughout the day just to chat to the girls. They are very sociable.

Yes, I'm really worried for her. She is shivering in the cold but I've given up chasing her around with a hot water bottle..
She was enjoying the free range scratch I put out for them, especially the sunflower seed, but wasn't interested in mealy worms or salmon, although her sisters polished it off for her.

Edit to add:
Her feathers seem to be coming in quickly. I think she may have a little fluffy coverage in a day or two.

A bit of cooked pork and cracked corn as @Ribh mentions would be a good choice for a few days. What the corn provides is easy burn carbohydrates and that provides calories to help keep her warm.
The pork will provide a complete protein but even more important, it is apparently easier to digest than a complete protein provided by mixed grains.

I'm a bit surprised they didn't know it already - the teachers would have told them. And it would be a quite easy thing to confirm by looking at the data.

One would think so. I think it was more government policy ~ one of those articles I saw but never read properly. I think they were talking about providing computers for those without. Lockdown has meant those used to using a library computer can't access that either.

The unis in Adelaide have kept their libraries open for students who need access. But every second computer is disconnected to ensure social distancing.
