Update! Kiwi continues to improve. Yesterday she let us know that she didn’t want to be locked up in the sick ward anymore so we gave her full access to the yard. We kept a close eye on her and made sure her sisters weren’t bullying her and there were no problems. She’s waking pretty normally...

Update 2… She is standing, walking, and drinking! Hooray!! She’s a little weak and wobbly, but sooooo much better. No sign of an egg or any substance from her reproductive system yet, but we’ll keep a close eye out. Today I did her calcium pill on my own with no issues. She’s a good girl :)...
