Lunchtime

Beaker is still battling the Botuism, I tried to give him some mix but he wasn't really into it. So instead I put a spoonful of greek yogurt into his water bowl. He had a few sips of it before.
Tommy appears to be just sulking and not sick at all. Ducks are very emotional birds. I think people aren't really aware of this. I moved him out of his pen down to the front pen mainly to see if he could walk and because it maybe is something in the pen. He walked down there fine and even managed to fly out of the fortress I had built for him. He just rushed back to the suspect pond and was drinking from it. I've since ushered him and Speedy into the chicken pen. While parts of it is still muddy there is nothing rotting there or septic pond scum.
So basically I think Tommy was just missing Beaker, I have faith that Beaker will recover from this. If Speedy the miracle chicken can, anyone can.
