We have a good group here, don't we? Hope everyone is having a good time with family. Amanda graced me with her 3rd egg in a week! From now on, she shall be called Amanda the Wonder Hen. How long this laying spurt will continue is anyone's guess. Last year, she went until the middle of April.
Betsy's crop was much smaller this a.m. and pliable first thing, not super doughy. She only drank water and rested all day yesterday. Today, I cut up some chicken in tiny pieces from the rotisserie chicken and she was very interested in eating that. She probably ate no more than the are of a quarter, all in all, but she is getting high protein, no grain food. And when I took a yogurt cup of a tablespoon of plain yogurt with the few unsweetened apple pieces from the jar of my dad's canned apples, she pecked around in that, too. Have to check her crop this evening and tomorrow a.m. to see if it's really getting better.
