Tutti Frutti

Fingers crossed for ex-barnie Tallulah - sad update :o(

Recommended Posts

She's been putting on weight and her legs are getting further and further apart. She's been OK in herself though - bright eyed. But today, she's quiet and waddling (when she does walk) so I'm not hanging around - vets @ 4;50pm. I suspect stuck/broken eggs or peritonitis (not laid regularly since last summer) or (gulp) a tumour :( . Poor girl. Fingers crossed but if it comes to the worse, then I am truly comforted by knowing she's spent half her life with us, living the life of Reilly! :clap:

Thank you CM. Sadly, it was a tumour so we had her pts :cry: :cry: . We thought gentle giant Tallulah was getting fat in her old (non-laying) age but she was actually skinny and her keel was prominent so most of her weight was tumour :( She's now buried in the chicken's playground. But at least she's not suffering any more, at least she had a fabulous retirement and all the freedom, sunshine, dustbathing, and scratching that she could fit in.

 

RIP Tallulah, you're sorely missed.

 

Not quite got the hang of posing for the camera
