OBSERVATIONS
Bulb section of yard is sprouting.
CHOOKS
Coldie and Shantung went to the vet. Coldie is fine, all healthy, seems okay after her surgery and implant.
Shantung...they extracted about 600mL of fluid from her abdomen. There was definitely something happening there; exactly what, the vet still isn't sure. Apparently Shan still feels a bit 'lumpy' inside and so she's going back after her course of anti-inflammatories and painkillers is done. (which I forgot to give her tonight. DAMN.)
She was slow out the gate this morning, retreated into the laying box and stood there for a while. But by late morning she was out with the others, happily pecking away at the prawn heads. And she was roosting tonight, so that's good. But I'll have to medicate her in the morning again. UGH. I hate medicating chooks.
The fluid they extracted from her!
PRUNING & PREPARING
trimming down a lot of the trees, ready for Friday afternoon and the chipper...
NOTES
I feel like I don't have enough things for the composting on Saturday. I was planning to chip all my branches, but not going to manage that before the weekend.
1 barrowload of mown grass (2 days old)
1 chookyard of half-mulched compost
3 boxes of half-decomposed chips
3 boxes of fresh-mulched chips
1 box of paper shreddings
3 tubs of chicken poop
1 garden bed of indian borage
1 bucket of wood ash
1 packet of rock dust
