Zane Made REAL Progress (New Pics Pg 99)!RIP Lorelei...

I keep saying prayers for the both of them.

I am concerned since we usually get a report very early......I pray for you this morning Cyn and your little family of chickens. Hoping for good news.

Here's the Zane report for this morning. I took him his eggs, yogurt and mealworm breakfast. He ate the mealworms, but didnt want the other stuff, so I left it with him in the back of the dog kennel while we tended to our broody hen's breakfast. When I came back, Mr. Zaners had left the back of the kennel and his bowl of eggs to come to the front and eat from his bowl of pelleted feed. I think he may be tired of eggs, LOL! I know he's lost muscle tone, but he is getting some minor exercise just maneuvering himself on his hocks with his feet and wings for balance. That has to use some leg muscle. It should be sunny and very warm today so he'll get his "property tour" with his daddy to boost his spirits again.
Forgot to say that Lorelei is still kicking, too. She didn't eat much this morning, but is still walking and exploring/foraging around. I have guarded optimism about her because Lacy didn't stop, either, before her death.

Thank you , thank you, thank you. I am so happy to hear this..............what about Lorelei?? I am afraid to ask

Hang in there, you two!!!

I know I've told you this a million times, but Zane is just beautiful... and he looks so much like daddy that it's erie.

He does look like his daddy, doesn't he? That picture, though, shows just how much weight he's lost. He weighs nothing at all, poor thing. I kept him over Gabriel because I could tell he'd have that broad chest of Hawkeye's whereas Gabe took more after Lexie in his body type, not bad, but just not quite as stocky as I wanted. I hope he can return to his former glory some day.
Carrie, I added a footnote about Lorelei at the end of that post. She's still hanging in there, but she goes to roost before anyone else every night.

For Zane and Lorelei:

Just something beatiful for his Mom and Dad:

I just thought of something, Cyn. My mom used to be a bowler, and I know she had a bowling ball sling that was used to clean the ball. I'm going to visit Dad today, and I will check to see if we still have the bowling bag around.
