From left to right: Syrax, Dreamfyre and Sunfyre
We had an absolutely horrible time over the weekend where sadly one of our babies was killed by a rat in the night, and the other 3 suffered some pretty nasty injuries. After an emergency trip to a very nice farm vet, some pain relief and some antibiotics they all seem to be on the mend.
Syrax (most black) suffered the worst injuries with bites to her neck, back, and the joint of her wing, and is slowly recovering although she's still quiet and isn't gaining as much weight as the others over the last few days, which I'm hoping is more down to the stress, she did seem to be quite happy outside.
Today is their first time stretching their legs outside again since losing their sister. And it felt like the right time to name them, having lost her without even giving her a name.
I'd have probably named her Meleys, brave girl fought hard to protect the others 🪽
