Ribh's D'Coopage

[Ribh]

She's chronic.
And there was a terrible to~do when I finally insisted she hop off & go roost with everyone else.​

And just look who nabbed a spot with the Big Girls tonight!
Yep. That's Shuri up there. She flew up to the vent & half flew, half scrambled over everyone's backs & then she wasn't budging. That's Oshina with her. They mostly run together. The other 2 babies are on the 2nd rail. Desi had a cuddle with me tonight too but she's perfectly happy on the bottom rail. For some reason she doesn't like being up high.​

Good evening everyone

The Big Girls can't wait to escape.
The Babies take over the coop.
For some reason these 4 have always like hanging indoors. Shuri has slightly watery poops @ the moment. She has had vitamins & a worming tablet but I will keep an eye on her. I thinks she spat her 1/4 tablet out about 4 times. How I do love medicating chooks. Not as bad as cats though. ​

Try blowing in their face quickly after giving the tablet. It should make them swallow just like a cat.

I learned that trick working for the Vet. I became the cat piller queen.

Here is the Smithsonian Magazine coverage of it which also touches on some other similar studies:

Rich and I would like to thank everybody on and off the forum for all the thoughts and prayers.

He is doing so well! He said he's feeling better then he has in a long time. We went out to dinner last and he enjoyed a nice big T-Bone steak.

Awww, have a heart Ribh. She fits there so nicely she was obviously made to be a shoulder ornament!
