Beaker update

Beaker's still alive. We gave him about 30mls of my yoghurt mix (thanks easy yo). We gave him a good pat and unblocked the liquid that was in his airway by lifting him upside down. It just dripped out and he was much better. We're going to move him to the ICU (our verandah) in just a few minutes. I told Beaker he couldn't die as Tommy needs someone to keep him in line. His breathing is quite deep and he can still hold his head up, but his wings are no longer tucked up on his back. I told Beaker it's going to get worse before it can get better. Tommy however is showing no signs of the infection and is currently residing with the chickens who are in lock-down. Have I mentioned that I'm over all this death and sickness?
As a side note, Lucille 2 is alive and well and is the spitting image of her mother (except I have a feeling she wont be as small).
