Bit of a shock this morning, Mini one of CB's laydees didn't get up was flat out on her side and I thought she was dead until she lifted her head. She couldn't stand so I cuddled her and stroked her thinking she was on her last breaths her head just flopped on my chest but she was soothed by the stroking. 15 minutes later she was still going - just.....
*meanwhile me pathetically sobbing me bleeding heart out
....
Found an empty box put hay in it (more comfortable) and placed her in put her in a spare stable That's still deep littered from winter. Had to do some work, feed animals etc, checking her every few minutes - still with us.
Had to go shopping, didn't expect her to be still around, still there - just.
Mucking out girls checked her - she's sitting up.
Got her out of box, she fell over, put her back in, tipped water onto her beak. A few minutes later she stood, so I got her out again.
Very Wobbly and kept dropping her left wing, collapsing on left leg, pecked at some food, got her a feed bowl for water. She'd started to walk but very strangely with her left leg - sort of Basil Fawlty Ministry of Funny Walks style - leg straight back then snap up then stretch forward.. drop left wing.
She's very dazed and d'you know what..... I reckon she's had a stroke.
Looking a bit stronger now she's nested back in the box again but considering her state this moring I am absolutely gobsmaked she's still here. CB at school so she still is unaware...
