That's great news Rube, Well done  :D

Laurel is still smaller than his siblings after his funny turn when 2 weeks old, but apart from the slight variation in height you'd find it hard to tell he was ever ill :)


Sarah :)



Thanks Sarah - what was Laurel's funny turn? :unsure:

Ooh er.............. :(
Pinocchio's episodes were almost like a fit. I spent a lot of time observing what set him off and it seemed as though he would take too much crumb then a big mouthful of water before throwing his head back, and falling over. He always did it when eating and then didn't seem to have the strength to upturn himself. I would make him have frequent drinks by dipping his bill in the water and holding him steady - seemed to work. Now he is stronger he copes by himself. Haven't seen him fall over for 4 or 5 days now  :happy:
Just hope he keeps growing so he can eventually go out with the others.
