Ribh's D'Coopage

You don't want this. Trust me. It's either been treated with poison or eaten out by termites & is good for nothing except a BIG fire.

Ah, well I guess that's ok....... I don't feel so bad anymore

Yes , that makes sense. You did "poke and prod" when you gave her first aid Shad, but I suppose the difference is that she is very used to you and she got to stay with her tribe.
Hmmmm, it bears thinking about.

It's true. I did prod and poke her, but not until she had settled with her family for the night.
If they go to roost after an attack their stress levels are much reduced. I've had a few that sisn't go to roost after an attack and didn't show up until the next morning. Not good for them and very stressful for me. Dink for example stayed out all night in the damp and cold with a talon rip across her back 4 inches long, not to mention the other minor wounds. How she survived is beyond me. I searched for hours but couldn't find her.

With our fire ban temporarily lifted we are taking full advantage burning off all the house timber.
So far it's taken 3 full days & we are still going.

The girls are pretty cool about the fire going ~ though last night they seemed reluctant to roost with all that orange glow & smoke about.

@Ribh I'm so sorry to hear of your condition! I was wondering where you had been. I hope you heal quickly.

Last night Stanley was in the house once more. I just LOVE that he responds to his name and follows me. He has since been returned to the flock and they are very glad to have him back.

I was silly happy when he was crowing for me! My chooks are such a huge stress reliever, I dont even know how to describe it.

All good. I'm just a woos about needles. And the heat has been awful the last few days. Both the chooks & I have been unhappy.
