Miss Mindy has been a house chicken all week since we discovered an impacted crop on Monday. We've been treating her all week and it is slowly but surely diminishing. I think it's very close to being fully empty, maybe tomorrow morning will be the day! She's been a trooper through the whole experience, especially since the house is nice and warm and we've had highs in the upper 20s outside all week! She lost a ton of weight and hasn't been eating very great for the last couple days but we've found some foods today that she is enjoying and that will give her some nutrition as well.
Anyways!, I changed the bedding in her cage today to a sand blend on one side and a sawdust on the other side. She has been dust bathing in the sawdust for an hour! And now it's nap time for her and sweeping time for me since she successfully threw piles of bedding out of the cage and onto the tile floor! It's so nice to see her enjoying herself, it's been far too long being caged up!
