Barkisland Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks for your support and good wishes everyone, it really means a lot. I'm very sad to say that Nancy has just died, but it was a quick and peaceful end. I think you are right, the shock of being moved and then this awful freezing weather was just too much for her to take. I hope Gerty and Flo' will be strong enough to survive - am not too worried about Flo' at all, she seems to be taking everything in her stride - even saw her using the normal drinker and eating a grape earlier! Hopefully Gerty will follow her example tomorrow, although this very cold snap is going to be a trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkisland Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks Tara, and I am very glad your little one 'made it'. Each bird that survives is what makes rescuing worthwhile. I won't let it put me off doing it again. Meanwhile, I will focus on Gerty & Flo' and making their retirement as happy as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieChick Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 So sorry to hear about your lovely chooky. I lost my ex-batt on Saturday too. It just goes to show that it doesn't always work out, but at least she had some proper love. Best of luck with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
