Didn't have time to update yesterday, maaaanic! We've been having all the guttering and fascias replaced, which meant scaffolding going up, noise, tools, deliveries and so on. Thankfully the contractor is a chookie kinda guy (he breeds them) which meant the girlies got some extra attention, and he is trying to convince me to hatch some eggs from his ladies! We've known him for years, so I feel comfortable that if the girls were getting stressed he would let them have a break from the noise. All that said, they took it completely in their stride. As the scaffodling was coming over the garage roof to the back of the house, I dumped a load of woodshavings in the run, and popped some treats in there. The girls were free to come out of the run, and I stood with them, but they were having so much fun digging in the woodshavings they barely noticed all the commotion! After that, they came and played in the garden, not worried by the banging, drilling, sawing etc and stayed out of the way of the scaffolding and the workers - good girlies *grin*
Anyhoodle- back on topic...
Lola had an empty crop when she got up. I think she was tired yesterday (she spent most of the day out of the run, from about 8am) so spent a while laying under the bench on the grass in the afternoon, and of course she came for her snuggles with me!
She had a very pale purply/grey tinge to the back of her comb, which disappeared almost as suddenly as it appeared.
She scoffed a good breakfast, then picked throughout the day- never filling her crop very much, then pigged out at teatime. I am satisfied that she ate enough yesterday. Droppings were good, right colour and consistency. No egg.
