What did you do with your flock today?

I’m thinking to mark the boy with the cut so you can find him easier ? He’d probably like some hot pink toenail polish

I'm thinking he stepped in some water and washed the blood away, because none of the boys had a visible cut this morning when I tried to figure out which one he was. And if I could catch them to paint their nails, I'd likely not need to LOL! Catch-22 (or maybe catch-4) so to speak. I'll keep looking throughout the day, but so far haven't spotted a wound on any of them.

Hey @pennyJo1960
What did you mean by using fingernail polish or marker?

Put a dot on the wing or where you can easily see it on a roosting bird.

Well today was another alright day with the Indigo Chicks! We had a bit of rain but afternoon dried out and the sun shined for a bit! All the chickens seemed pretty close to normal today too—with the exception of Newbell who's eyes are still bubbling. However! This afternoon she was foraging some and eating and drinking and making her usual dino noises. So I take this as a good sign.

Had to share a few pictures…Betty seems less than thrilled about the rain Puff is starting to look like a handsome man, Fluff wanted to say HI, Molly has decided to be my constant companion (and pecks at EVERYTHING), and Elinor is clearly in the lead as favorite chicken…she is laying quite consistently!

And Miyuki is getting more comfortable here every day! Kitten zoomies!

Yay!!!! I'm so happy to hear that things are starting to look up in your sweet flock.

Not sure who is who, although I think Puff is is the lovely boy in front of the pop door and I think Bettyis the one who's having a hilariously bad hair day. But, oh my! Your dark grey beauty is ... well, I'm in love. So pretty!

This video is so cute. I bet she makes you laugh and smile a lot.

Thank you!! I too am super happy for a few days relief! I love seeing my chickens happy and healthy!

You were right in your chicken name assessments The dark blue girl is Molly and she is the bravest and most friendly of the bantam Cochin clan. She is so pretty and I’ve been working on getting her to STOP pecking at everything on me! She’s funny too, cuz she will fly up on my shoulder, walk all over me, and perch on my hand while I walk…but if I pet her? She’s over it and runs away Her sister Polly is almost prettier too! I call her Polly Pocket because she’s super tiny, but she’s just very sleek and dark. Not many pictures of her either because she’s very camera shy!

And yeah, Miyuki has definitely already provided a lot of entertainment and humor
