This morning I was off doing an event so my husband popped down to the allotment. Sadly. He found that Squeak had died overnight.
After Park Run, we both went down again to sort out the chickens legs with Sudacrem. It took quite a while as the Vorwerks and Cream Legbars were very resistant to being caught! Cliff helped us check their legs and we had a discussion about the spurs on some of their legs – Dolly’s in particular as they are huge!
Everyone including the chickens ended up covered in Sudacrem. It got all over the chickens feathers as we all tried to catch them. Poor Nelly almost turned white with the amount on her feathers!
We can see that their feet are getting better and the bad scales are starting to shed. Another treatment and they should be all shiny and new!

I’m so sorry. It always sucks to lose an animal.

We lost Squeak before Newly last week but for some reason the post didn’t publish properly. So we are back to 10 chickens. It seems like we can never own more than 10

I love the names of your chooks! SO sad to lose them… but what joy they bring while they are around. Wish you much more. Thanks for joining my blogging community 🙂

I get quite a bit of ridicule from others on the site because I name them. But your can’t not!

Most of the guys on site with chickens don’t name them. They are viewed more as farm animals might rather than pets

Yet chickens make the most wonderful therapy pets in aged care facilities. Who would have guessed 🙂

We are a retirement home for chickens – if anyone is getting rid of theirs for newer ones, we usually take one or two. They don’t lay every day but live a happy life – I would say peaceful but a bunch of women in a small space…
