Thanks for asking. There is no change. She’s inside tonight. I did bring her out at one point to see if she wanted to play with her friends/sisters, but she headed straight for the coop. I thought the warm inside would be good for her tonight, so brought her back in the house. She’s not eating, drinking, nor pooping, but I did get a good amount of coconut oil into her. I’d like to tube a molasses flush, but she is resisting me and I don’t want to risk aspiration (her crop is far from empty). I might see if the avian vet can see her tomorrow. But I’ll feel terrible if what we find means I should have her put down and her last night is in the house instead of the coop.How is Ester doing? Any update?
I’d like to acclimate her to the cooler temp tomorrow by opening up the kitchen for a bit before letting her outside. I might also like to put a heater facing into the coop for her to warm up if she wants. Which reminds me… there *might* be one small development; she might be heading into molt. She has dropped a few feathers, but I can’t tell if they are falling out on their own or if there’s a possibility they came out when handling her with her resisting. I guess I’ll know in the morning.
