That is so exciting. That is a chicken that wants to live!

Thanks, Bob. It's been a long road.

How many teapots do you have now?

My guess is "just a few"

But they are all beautiful...

I'm sorry this is so long but skip right to the end; Sif is walking! Bit wonky but @ least not flip flopping all over the place like a stranded fish.

Did the vet have any ideas on what the diagnosis could be?

Neurological. No suggested remedy apart from euthanasia. I did some research that suggested it could be a vitamin deficiency so have been supplementing. Her neck has straightened out & she is mobile again so I'm thinking that was probably the cause.

It's Caturday! ​

Kirby is still very sooky & his appetite is not back to normal yet but well on the mend.

I'm off to the vet with this little beauty I found flip~flopping round the yard this morning. I think it's an Azure Kingfisher. They are tiny but this one is still just a baby.
Good thing the beak doesn't really hurt.

Me too. But then a week or so ago the doc did a blood test and it turns out I have Lyme.
Don’t know if you have that by where you live but I heard it is now everywhere.
I am optimistic that the month of antibiotics will pay off with fewer aches and stiffness.
Is it worth getting checked?

How did you get that?

So fluffy and a beautiful blue!

Odd pairings.
Thanks to Shad's comments about birds of a feather I am always interested in how my birds pair up.
Titania & Chavi makes more sense than Freya & Alpia.​

Some lovely pictures as usual Ribh and even though I'm rude about your hens I come and look at their pictures most days.
You must come close to having the right sort of climate for feral chickens(?)

She's obviously feeling very vunerable. It's such a lovely feeling when a sick chicken looks like they might make it.
