Well her ladyship didn't quite charge out of the henhouse with as much vigour as yesterday morning, but she was still full of the joys :-) Her crop was empty. She ate a good breakfast of their usual wet ex-bat crumbs.
I popped a pot of mixed corn (garvo special) in the run yesterday, and again today (without topping it up) to see whether they pigged on it or not. The result so far is that they are eating it, but definitely not to excess.
No egg today, but to be honest even before the implant I wouldn't have expected today to be a laying day for Lola.
The entry site of the implant has sealed over nicely; no redness, no blood, all looking good.
Lola did have a bit of a tantrum this morning when Ellie went into the eglu cube to lay her egg (yes my two girls have a whole eglu cube between two of them lol), since we lost Ruby a few weeks ago, Lola hates being left on her own, she did this after Tilly died too when it was just her and Ruby. We are looking at getting her a couple of new friends soon.
Lola does seem to have eaten a less today, but she more than made up for it at teatime, and when I went out to give her her metoclopramide she had a lovely full crop. Droppings have been a bit loose, but that is fairly normal for Lola anyway, they are a good colour and do have some texture to them, not watery like they had been on Sunday.
I weighed Lola last night, just so I can monitor her weight a little more closely; apparently it is normal for them to drop a bit of weight after the implant...Lola really doesn't need to lose any weight, and is sitting at just over 1800g at the moment.
Both girls have been their usual cuddly selves today, and Lola has been less snoozy today again, wanting to be up and about busying herself with important tasks in the garden; such as trying to dig her way to Australia! All in all we have spent about 6 hours out in the garden today, and when I went to close the eglu door up at 9.40pm Lola decided to get up and join me in the run, have a little snack, and pop herself back to bed after a n'night kiss *wub*
