he's fine, he's wrapped up in Pip's dressing gown we asked Will about his spraddled legs, he starts of ok but when he gets tired his legs slip out sideways, Will said it's probably best not to let him reach adulthood.................

[Vember]

Ahhh that's a shame

Only other thing is to get Sam to make him a set of wheels so when his legs get tired he could just flap his wings and whizz about

Let us know how he/she gets on

[Kate and her Ducks]

Keeping my fingers crossed for Lonely and Superduck 17. My duckling with the broken leg took a while get back on its feet. Always found it harder when tired or on a slippery surface but back to normal except a bit smaller now.

[too many girls]

she's not looking at all well, i don't think she's going to make it, if she gets any worse i think i'm going to ask Sam to do the deed with his dispatcher, i really don't want her to suffer poor Lonely.

[wildwitchy]

ooh thats sad. I hope she pulls thro. Ex batts are just very special little birds (the others are aswell). x

[wadz81]

After getting some chickens I signed H.F.W. chicken out campaign and after showing people at work the picture of your girl when you first got her (sob!) they have all signed up aswell now I'm scared of ours getting ill don't think we would be able to do the deed so sorry for you

Lonely took a turn for the worse at 4am this morning, she fell or jumped off her perch (actually a cat scratching post with a towel over it) and was fluttering and flapping about on the floor unable to walk, she woke me up and after watching her for a few seconds i went and got Sam out of bed, bless him, he's got a terrible cold but never complained, he disabled the alarms, told me to put the kettle on as he said we needed to discuss strategies, and went off to the stables to fetch his dispatcher, sat on my bed with our cuppa's and Lonely on my knee we went through how best to do it, the cone used for dispatching is fixed to the wall in the shed but i didn't want to take her outside, Sam "will you be able to hold her by her legs mum? or shall i wake up grandad" mm, then it was do we wake Pip? i knew she would be upset but Sam felt she would be more upset if we didn't wake her and she didn't get to say goodbye, whilst we were arguing the pro's and cons Lonely jumped off my knee and walked rather unsteadily across my bedroom floor out into the hall and off up the corridor to the kitchen where she helped herself to Caspers water bowl (her water has medicine in it and she obviously thought the dogs was preferable) she reprieved herself and we went back to bed, she still looks poorly this morning, she drinking but eating very little, she is walking about a bit more, i hope she has turned a corner and will get better, off to the pet shop for mealworms for her  this afternoon, we came so close to ending her life last night, fingers crossed.

[Rubellite]

Oh my goodness, she must have heard what you said
Do hope she rallies round

[compostqueen]

oh bless    I do hope she's turned the corner. Lots of us humans have colds and sniffles at the moment so maybe she has too.  48 hours and she'll be her old self again. We're all rooting for her

Fingers very firmly crossed for Lonely.  I believe in the power of positive vibes.  You know what to do everyone    ((((((((((((((((((Lonely)))))))))))))))))))))))

she's been very naughty, she's only gone and pinched super duck no 17's heat lamp again, i don't know whether she's wheezing or snoring but she's very noisy, i don't think she's in a rush to get better, she quite likes it in my bedroom, warmth, company, and her own buffet, she's surrounded by saucers of her favourite foods, chopped boiled egg with a drizzle of cod liver oil, tuna in springwater with a pinch of poultry spice (the cats stole that last night) layers pellets, chick crumb, bread soaked in goats milk, poultry grit and sweetcorn, she keeps going round them as if she wants to eat but can't be bothered, that's not something i can identify with........................

[poultrygeist]

Edge of the seat stuff. 

Hope she can perk up a bit. At least she'll be spoilt in the meantime.
