All the others sound…tasty

I don't know, I'm immune to duck filth by now. I kissed Sprightly on the head yesterday and definitely ingested a little of that delightful poopy pond water

You’re probably right about that! As you well know, I’m easily influenced

Oh shoot, I don't even remember typing that part about ducks being superior, I think Dougie stole my phone...

I’m quite good, thanks. Lots of losses, but there’s still joy to be found.
How about you? I hope the sisters have settled in their new palace nicely

Sorry to hear it! I'm glad you're doing okay though!

They're enjoying it here for sure, Sprightly had some initial interruptions to her adjustments. Poor girl had to deal with 6-7 hours of driving and then just as soon as she had settled she had multiple vet trips, lost a significant amount of weight, stopped eating, couldn't walk, all because of an absolutely vicious and sudden bumble infection. I was tube feeding her two-three times a day, raw egg, whey protein and sugar water. As well as 7 syringes of medicine a day...


But she is completely back to herself now - She's still being a big baby though, requesting cuddles most nights before bed, and she gets them too!

Oh, poor Sprightly. I’m very glad she has you though. That was a lot of TLC! How is her laying now?

Pretty good! She's not had any issues in quite a while, I'm happy to say! I get weird eggs from her very occassionally but nothing extreme or dangerous these days.

*touch wood*

That’s wonderful to hear! Hope she keeps this up, though if it were it her control I’m sure she would.
Hopefully you both can leave the serious egg issues behind!
