Fingers crossed that Monty is soon on the mend.  Poor Gladys is in the outdoor store rather than in the house - the cats were bemused enough about one of those horrible flappy squawky things being in the house whilst she was having treatment.  I don't think I could inflict her on them for a full week, they'd never come home!

Good luck to Monty! I have never heard of a farting chicken - that is so funny 

You'll become an expert in poultry foot surgery no doubt - something novel for the CV!!

Just be grateful that you have never had the experience of a cockerel with wind. Its NOT pleasant!
The Montster had a good night, and woke us at 7.27 with the first of 29 cockles. I counted every bloomin' one. It was good to hear though, as we werent sure if he had been crowing at all. He's since crowed 2 more sessions of 6, once whilst I was on the phone. Made my sister in law laugh!
Lets just hope that our babies get better very soon.l
