goodbye Rhona
Rhona went to bed very early yesterday and id noticed her being very quiet all day , but still eating. When i locked them up for the night i noticed some yellow fluid by her vent feathers
today, i found her dead in the coop . strangely though there was an egg in the nest box and i think shes the one who was still laying.
bless her , she was a big and beautiful girl

that was such a sad story about Arielle- much harder to handle than losing a chicken
im left with 7 - 2 chickens and 5 bantams and wont be adding to them this year . It looks like SallySioux has finished laying and the 2 silkies are now "lady boys" so i havent got a broody anymore.
Mr Kipling has become very aggressive too, towards me in particular - the more you handle them as youngsters the more chance of them turning
hes small though, hasnt got spurs and has a crooked beak so doesnt do any damage so hes safe here for a while
i hope everything runs smooth for you from now on - such hard work lambing and heavy on the heart too

it must have been heartwarming to watch
Nice to hear that Gordan is still going strong, hes a brilliant rooster
i had to take Sallysioux to the vet yesterday - shes been limping badly for two days . i couldnt find anything wrong with her feet or legs so took her around yesterday afternoon . the vet couldnt find anything obvious so thinks its her hock or the muscles at the top of her leg , so shes on metacam and bed rest and keeping her away from Mr Kipling for a few days
