I put Meredith, the one eyed chicken – back into the main coop inside today. She stuck around in a corner on her own for about an hour but then slowly, began to re-introduce herself and strut her stuff, all over again! She pecked Hanah & Bailey hard in the ass, which wish I caught it on video. They definitely all have little personalities. Stripe is officially a *woman* (Hen) now.

A Sick Chick
This sounds bizarre as I type this but, I’m proud of what I’ve done.
Three days ago, Meredith didnt come out of her box for food with the others. This happened the following morning so I brough her some warm egg and honey. On closer inspection she had a runny nose and a bubbly eye (the eye is so close to the nose, the sinus infection infects the eye). I seperated her yesterday as she couldnt walk, brought her indoors in the cat box and sat her in front of the heater for the day.
This morning there was no improvement, so I brought her to the vet. She got eye drops and an antibiotic, I got enough for the whole group.
I was very sad yesterday she might die and I hope she pulls through. She was absoulutely amazing in the vets, stayed in my arms the entire time. When I got back home, I sat on the couch with her and she fell asleep. I gave her the antibiotic, and she took it brilliantly.
She sure aint well though…
