Chase is such a character, he never stops chattering ❤️
I think he’s happy to be here, even though he’s in a small quarantine coop and run for the time being 🥰
Thistle update.
(She’s the hen with canker, who’s moved to Steve’s for some extra support during her moult)
As you can see, she’s bright and enjoying her conditioning seeds. She’s a really messy eater 😁 and will get into the dish and scratch her food all over the place, but that doesn’t matter one bit, as long as she enjoying herself.
Steve is topping her up from a syringe twice a day.
We are trying a new Dutch Canker Cure, mixed into a paste, and applied directly onto the canker. We’re hoping for some good results, as all the conventional meds we’ve tried so far, have failed 🙏
Thank you for all the good thoughts you sent her ❤️x
The Raptors don’t always hunt, sometimes they like to stroll, and graze, and explore 😁
Here’s Lenny and Nazareth, together with roommate Louie (centre)
Thank you Sumska Sova and Donna Ford for choosing these two beautiful boys great names ❤️
On a very warm day like today, Lacey enjoys a bucket of cold kale soup, to help her keep cool 😋
Mr Orange is enjoying his first ever strawberry 😋
The geese are having a nice peaceful day in their garden. We hope you’re all having a great Sunday ❤️
Good morning everybody! From Mr Blue , Mr Brown and Mr Pink 😁
I’m enjoying the company of these beautiful ducklings while I can, because they head off to their forever home with Lydia on Saturday.
I shall miss them so much, but it’s been a privilege to care for them for the past 3 weeks, and they are going to a wonderful home where they will be much loved and very happy.
Thank you Sarah for doing a home visit for them, and to Al at Beesfield Hen Sanctuary for arranging this.
They’re very lucky ducklings ❤️
I’ve noticed that when Mr Orange crows, he does it without hardly opening his mouth 😳
He’s a raptor ventriloquist 😁🥰
He has a bit of a scissor beak, so I’m guessing that could be the reason why 🤷♀️
There’s no keeping Compo out of Steve’s house now, he’s found out he can get through the cat opening in the door net 😂
I can’t quite believe what has just happened 😱
Maisie has a tumour, but is bright and eating well, so we are taking each day at a time.
This morning I gave her some Poultry Power drops and her metacam as usual, and as I was holding her, she she began flapping and dying, and then her body went limp and her neck hung down loose, and then her eyes closed 😢
I shouted to Rob who was carrying water nearby, and he walked over to say goodbye.
I laid Maisie on the ground while I went to get a box and some straw to put her body in. I was only gone about 30 seconds.
When I went back, Maisie’s body had gone!
I was thinking something had dragged her off, and I was frantically searching for her.
I went back to her coop, and to my utter amazement, there she was with her friend eating at their feeder like nothing had happened!
Either this is some sort of miracle or I’m completely bonkers, but Rob did corroborate what I saw!
I can only think she fainted and then came around again.
So today has been a good day for Maisie 😁❤️👍
The beautiful ducklings love it when I’ve made them a fresh straw bed for the day 🥰 They’re so big already, what breed do you think they are? That’s a standard size cat carrier for scale.
Jocelyn is such a determined broody. I’ve just removed her from her latest hiding place for the umpteenth time today! She did a great job raising her raptor children, but there’s no way I want a brood of Indian Game x Pekin crosses 😱🤪😂
