Ribh's D'Coopage

[drstratton]

Suyin has me guessing.
Not a sight nor a sign of the staggers since she went into isolation.
She's actually looking pretty good.
I will have a better idea when I put her to bed tonight.
I think not having to compete for food has been a good thing. She actually looks like she has put on a tiny little bit of weight & her food dish was empty when I fed everyone this afternoon. She doesn't eat a lot @ any one time but grazes the whole day.

Her poops are looking better ~ not solid but a vast improvement on the watery jet she was ejecting yesterday.

She was allowed into the run for a change of scenery & a dust bath after everyone else went back in the coop ~ not hard because I had cleaned. I don't know what they think happens when I clean but it's like they expect me to have done major renovations & every last corner has to be inspected & approved.

You may be right @BY Bob. Perhaps she ate something that disagreed with her.

River wanders away from the others and then panics when she realises she can’t see them.

Good evening folks I'm glad Suyin is doing better.

Good evening everyone

For those who've never seen them, these flowers are Australian Christmas bells.
In their natural environment they only flower well after fire & I haven't seen them growing wild since I was a child.
They are being cultivated commercially so not extinct yet.

I'm not sure if I have a knack of choosing loopy~loop animals or they become that way over time but this is what greets me round about *coop lock~up time*. The girls know & they gather @ the back door & eyeball me with guilt trips.View attachment 1695813

You didn't have a rooster then, did you?

Kirby will bring me the bigger birds like a spaniel; soft mouth & gentle. The little ones he kills if I don't nab him. And I've had to rescue little field mice tucked up under his chin. I can't abide them crying.

Sadly this dry is part of our *El Nino* cycle. We are an inconsistent country. Down south is burning out of control. Up north has flooded. We have a cyclone forming. Parts of the country are in severe drought. Parts are freezing ~ & all in less area than you guys have.... I think. Matter of a couple thousand extra miles.

Our drought has just broken. They say this year is la Niña.
