Ribh's D'Coopage

Yep, she has “guilt” written all over her face!

Ya think?

 

[Ribh]

Well it's nice to have a reason. Now that you know you can clean everyone else up and move forward. That's good.

Yes it is! I'm sorry I missed the Cocci but I know I checked for it. I even dosed everyone with Amprolium right @ the beginning just in case but it was so wet I guess the dosage diluted too much, or perhaps Gonril was just too sick to start with. Mind you, it was her lameness that was causing me the greatest concern @ the time. I should have stuck with my gut instinct but she wasn't showing any of the symptoms listed until the last morning.

They are so pretty, and they ARE growing!

Thank you. I think they are incredibly pretty. I was showing the vet pics this morning as I discussed worming with her & she was enchanted with them too. She keeps chickens too & wanted to know where I'd got mine from. I'm glad everyone else is noticing growth. it's hard for me to really tell because I see them every day.

They are just so good at hiding it. It's sad. If only they would confide in us.

Cheesecake done. Jelly & custard cooling for the trifle. About to start the carrot cake. I swear my kids only come for the sweets. No~one's interested in an actual meal!

You make carrot cake! My gosh I have to come see you, just for the food if nothing else. I love carrot cake.

Yep. I do know she felt loved & safe. Even the cats didn't upset her. I had her in a little box on the kitchen table where she could hear her flock, look outside & get a little breeze. I was feeding & watering her @ regular intervals & she lacked for nothing I could give her except experience.

I make the best carrot cake. It comes from a friend married to an American NASA electrician & my boys love it more than any other desert. It is absolutely decadent!

You did right by her

The good news is that having made a right old mess of my bathroom Wrold looks like she can rejoin the flock this afternoon. No bokking & fluffing. No screaming & biting. She has a lovely red face, wattles & comb ~ though whether the flock will be happy to see her remains to be seen.

Huzzah!

Hope she stays "unbroody" for you Ribh.

Thanks, Bob. It is! I'm so relieved. She wasn't eating properly, not really dustbathing or grooming & I really wasn't happy about any of it. Her dedication & determination were phenomenal!

I can see why you were worried! When Pepper was broody last month at least she'd go for a drink and a bite to eat before heading back to the nests.

It will be a good sign if she goes straight for a dust bath.
