juliagoolia Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Oh my god what a day... We got up thinking that Harriet had broken her leg.. we were up very early for us as a result!(7am) By 10am Harriet was standing up and walking about by 11am. We were so relieved and thanks to some helpful advice here we avoided a vets bill.. To top the day off Harriet has thanked us for taking care of us by laying her first Could it be that it was just a balance issue and there was nothing wrong with her leg. We have only had them for six days and my emotions are all over the place. I was crying when I thought she had hurt her leg and now I am crying again because she laid her first egg. Here's to keeping chickens.. although they should come with a warning that they worm their way into your heart almost overnight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliagoolia Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think we are all equally thrilled and relieved. At least if matilda goes off her legs we will know why.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
