Firstly, thank you for the compliment. Drumstick Diva answered my stupid question about ovations. You can scroll back but I am going to repeat her instructions for you.....at the bottom of each post you see a little hand with a thumb up. It's kind of like "Likes" on facebook. If you click that, it gives the author of the post an ovation. Apparently, the whole idea behind it is to draw attention to posts that have very useful information in them. What I still don't know is if there is a way to bring up all the "thumbs-up" posts or if you just have to scroll through all the comments and look for them yourself. I wonder if @drumstick diva knows and will tell us.
Well thank you, Diva. My dogs make laughter easy. They are not as fond of their hats as I am though, lol, but they love all the attention it gets them. I will give your idea some thought as I am always trying to raise money for the Humane Society and for rare Childhood Cancers.You really should think of marketing a Chihuahua calendar - your dogs are naturals & you have the wit to go with it.
Hopefully, some wise BYC people will click her link and giver her some good chicken advice. As I stated to her, if this was a dog I would suspect a leg injury from the fall. However, birds break their falls by stretching out their wings. Perhaps she landed wrong and twisted or strained a tendon. If this were a dog, after X-rays showed that there were no broken bones, a Vet would stabilize the joint and tell you to rest the dog. I guess for a chicken this would mean keeping her in a very small space to give the injury some time to heal. Legs are very important to chickens because they only have two of them, so you have to figure out a way to keep her from using the sore one.
