Good morning or late day 1:30 here Ex Batts.

The floods to follow .. Not for real but tired of the constant rain.

Much better than yesterday. Still not out of the woods yet.

Healthy chicken pellets.

No human food.

She wouldn't eat pellets, everything had to be soft .

Just add water to soften the pellets.

I agree with this. If a chicken is struggling, they need balanced nutrition and the best thing is pellets. Scrambled eggs would be a second choice if you can’t get her to eat the pellets, but it would be better to make a porridge with the chicken food and see if she’ll eat that first.

It's been hard to get her to eat anything, she's taking liquids okay. Sharach warned me of this with rescue hens but I still feel I've failed her. I haven't been here too read any of the good advice because I have been with her from morning till she decided too go too bed.

Catching the sun with Tina

I will tomorrow. But yogurt fruit and porridge was today's menu I'm afraid. She had a tiny bit of watered pellets with this. if its sardines she's eats but I don't want too make her liver fatty on top of everything else that's going wrong

Sardines should be good - high protein and some fat - just what the Merck Veterinary Manual suggested to avoid fatty liver.

I was so sad I didn't catch Tina and flexi snuggling up too her this afternoon in the sun.
