Ribh's D'Coopage

[BY Bob]

She's already buried. The vet won't be here until tomorrow & I really couldn't just stick her in the fridge. I think that's how I lost Lottie. There's a particular smell ~ though by the time it's noticeable it's probably too late. The milky poos are the giveaway, but I got them the minute they started & brought her inside. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a parasitic overload as I worm regularly & no~one else is displaying those symptoms, but she was joining Ha'penny & Aoefa in the prelaying screaming sessions & I was expecting an egg from her shortly. While I am not 100% certain I'm pretty sure that's what happened & it's such a shame as she was a hardy little soul.

Makes sense to me. Poor chookie.

She seems to have watery eyes. It is all clear and the vet feels it is more likely allergies versus an infection. Since she's nursing and not bothered by it, I'm simply wiping her eyes with a damp cloth when needed.

That's good to know. Thanks CCCL.

I've, lost her MJ. Not surprised but it was really fast. When I was reading up I read that egg peritonitis often happens when hens come back on the lay after their moult. Morrigu was the last hen I would have expected to have trouble & I'm not sure if that's true but so not the sort of stuff I'm really cluey about.

Thinking of you Ribh. She was safe with you until the end.

Everyone chilling after the morning rush. Water has been drunk, holes have been dug, food has been eaten, eggs have been laid, RC has been yelled at (multiple times), so now it is time to relax, fix your feathers and have a nice chat.

Sorry @Ribh i don’t know why I posted this here, I normally post new stuff over at Fluffy Butt Acres. Wasn’t meaning to be disrespectful given your recent loss of Morrigu.
