Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[room onthebroom]

No rest for the weary today. Battling the first Invasion ants & trying to heal a sick chicken. Electrolytes, scrambled eggs, apple sauce, yogurt, warm baths, lots of cuddling... I don't know whats wrong with her. She's not showing signs of the M word. Her crop feels empty. Butt is clean, tho feels full... Egg bound maybe? This is Iris' mom Poppy. Remember we thought we were going to loose her last month? Ugh! Stress. Worry. Stress. Worry.

Tomorrow I'm gonna say, "Gee, I hope I can work my arse off all day today." and then maybe I'll catch a break.

Emu barn progress continues:

And yes, that is the neighbor's rabbit in the back there. He was underfoot the entire time. I might bring some rabbit pellets out for him, sigh. Poor thing seemed hungry, he was trying to get into an empty feed bag.

I had to look at that photo twice.... I knew emu eggs were big... but the thing on the right side of the photo looked like a dinosaur egg..... Just sayin' you probably shouldn't raise animals that want to eat you.

mine that hatch yellow with black spots grow into white feathers with black spots.

It is because white is a "leaky" dominant. The color it is crossed with "bleeds" through.

I like the way it looks.

I have one like that, & one that's all white except a light gold on the throat from her BCM daddy, or maybe her RSL grandma.

It all looks square & plumb...no fair

Ugh, what’s she acting like?

So sorry to hear this, broom. As long as she's still eating, there's hope! Did you give her some full strength nutridrench? That's been my go-to.
I had a real rough go with Legbars... (Ralphie has had a rough time with his, too) - they are super susceptible to Marek's - like "little bird flies over your yard and poops" sensitive. I'm not saying that's what's going on, but word on the street is that GFF lost most of their first import to it... And, we live in glorious CA where it's the #1 cause of poultry mortality.
Sorry about that ray of sunshine, my friend. I really, really hope she recovers. You're a good chicken mamma!
