Ribh's D'Coopage

Gloriana has had 2 nights in the cage & she is fed up to the back teeth with her confinement. The 1st night she was very lethargic, drank a lot but barely ate. Her poops were pure water. I have spent 2 days looking @ pictures of chicken poop trying to figure her out. 🙄

Yesterday morning she was doing her foghorn honk as I came down the stairs, eager to get her food & water.

This morning she was honking as soon as she heard my feet hit the floor upstairs. She is a lot feistier today & I will let her rejoin her tribe as soon as it warms up a little.

What was wrong? In all honesty, I have nooo idea. She may just have been having a bad day. Our night temps have been dipping towards single figures & the days have been windy & chilly. Ever since the snake attack she has been a different bird. My best guess is she no longer handles stress well ~ though what could have stressed her on that particular day...:idunno I treated her again for worms & yep, some are showing up in her poop but not like the overload she had before. I treated her for Coccidia because her poops were that bad. She has been getting a vitamin supplement & I shoved some oxymav 100 in her water because I had no access to a vet & she wasn't sick enough to warrant all the hoo~ha involved in getting her to the mainland.

She has cleaned up her food this morning, drunk well & sworn blue murder @ me for keeping her confined. :confused:

I’m happy to hear she is recovering nicely. Even if she is mad at you. Lol
 
HAPPY CATURDAY, FOLKS! 😁

Indeed. They already have different personalities.

Davis runs and hides when people enter the house, Éowyn runs TO the front door to see who is there. Davis does not sit in your lap. Éowyn would sit on your head if you let her.

They both however want to be in the room with you. Love to be petted and brushed.

They are quite a pair right now. 🥰View attachment 2692139
Such a cute moment!
 
Happy Caturday Friend!

I took this photo on enhance but not face, with the brightness turned up. Is it very pixellated? It seems ok to me, but I'm looking on the phone's screen.
There she is! 🥰 The beautiful Blossom!

Looking good on my lap top. Not pixelated @ all. 😁
 
Things are very different. I won't go into all the difficulties due to the circumstances under which I find myself here.
This May has been the wettest for the last decade and it's not warm, even by British standards.:rolleyes:
I spent the ten day quarantine period required for entry into the UK at my eldest sisters which was lovely. I hadn't seen her or her husband for quite a few years although we kept in touch via the net. She has chickens!
I'm staying with my daughter and her husband currently while I slog my way through various bits of bureaucratic nonsense to do with residency rights. Technically I'm homeless.
I've joined the rest of the population it seems and now leave the house equipped with a smart phone which I am gradually learning how to use, bits of plastic that I'm told are money:hmm and a head full of passwords.
Bristol, which is where I am now is relatively slow paced compared to other cities but compared to halfway up a mountain in Catalonia surrounded by woodland and animals it's hectic and just watching others rushing about trying to pretend that what they are doing is incredibly important just wears me out.
Of course, the UK is still running at reduced capacity and I'm sure the place will look a lot more crowded when the rest of the population 'working' from home are let out.
I managed to get registered with a doctor a week ago and consequently got my first Covid jab a couple of days later.
I've got lots of writing to do. A couple of charities which I have been in contact with both in Spain and here in the UK are interested in my story; not because it is particularly interesting, but because it's well documented and illustrates many of the problems that the political ideologists have overlooked, or not cared about in their xenophobic rush to wave a flag and thumb their noses at other nations.
I don't miss Spain much because of the kind of life I led there. I haven't got to the point of missing the weather there yet either. What I miss is the chickens who I think about often.
I have heard from the man who is helping to take care of them and only one, Tack, is missing assumed broody on a nest.
Chicken Tax.

Thank you for your update, Shad! I hope things go as well as possible for you, in all things, as you sort out what's next.
