Sick chicken?

[handmommy]

Well, good news! I think she's all better. I did leave her out with the others that first night (nervous wreck about it, though!) The next day her breathing was completely normal. But her poops were weird. I looked up (some of the links people have posted on other boards) normal vs weird chicken poops and hers was definitely off! But she was acting better. Now there's nothing strange going with her. I wonder if she ate something? Or inhaled something? They bury themselves in the dirt under our windows and kick up so much dirt and dust. I just don't know! I was worried because we do only have 4 and they aren't 'out' amongst others much (our neighbors have 30+ chickens that come and visit ours) But I thought maybe they had something and had passed along to ours.

Anyway, I just wanted to update & say THANK YOU for all your advice and concern. We're on odd little bunch, us chicken lovers, aren't we!?!

Happy weekend and Happy Thanksgiving.

No, I think I'm weird for being such a worry-wart about my girl! I know they bath in the dust - just didn't know if that's maybe what she inhaled. I actually love how they give themselves little dust baths
