chick wiggle Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Her name is now Tyra because she is black and beautiful like her namesake (Tyra Banks) Unfortunately she now has the snuffles so i.ve popped a few drops of citricidal in her water and firmly crossed my fingers Oh, and err.. I seem to have accidentally e-mailed the GLO man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Sandie, I feel you are filling the time you would have been working my dear .....like empty nest syndrome with children but Emily in the children's place I'm hoping that Tyra's just got a case of "change of home" sniffles which get better soon Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Beautiful. Oh you rotten pair you - now I really do have to add that breed onto my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Oh Janty, your shetland looks beautiful, Tyra is just all black, it was all he had, she might get a bit of colour as she grows maybe. I gave her a bath this morning as she was filthy, and she loved the warm hairdryer too. then she had a super long cuddle where she was falling asleep. Now i have put her in her own little cage next to Talulah so they can still see each other but i dont Talulah to catch anything. I have put the heat lamp on her too to keep her nice and warm and citracidal in her water. I cant think of anything else i can do for her. I hope she gets better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Shirl Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I thought you had bought a pony, so not been paying this thread any attention. Never heard of a Shetland hen. ................She is gorgeous Sandie, not a bit like a crow Love the Shetland cross breed, very beautiful. Hope you have ordered the eggs. Got plenty of time on your hands to do a bit of chick cuddling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hee heeeeee yeah I know I've asked him to post me some week after next, that should be perfect timing. I had never heard of Shetland chickens either Shirl, but after much in depth and time consuming research, well, I asked Redwing I thought they looked good, and an 80% chance of blue eggs too, fingers crossed for that.

chick wiggle Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Tyras still sneezing this morning but doesnt seem as bad, hopefully shes on the mend. i asked the vet this morning, as I was taking bunny for mixi booster, if she would sell me some Baytrill, but said she had to see her first I dont really want to stress her by taking her to the vets so I'll wait another day or two.
