Well Miss Muffet isn't really much better. She's still anorexic and walking even less - but her breathing is better. Although she does eat some food, she is yet to gain any weight. I'm beginning to think I might take her to another vet. I still don't understand why the vet's never investigate her sore leg. There is an avian vet at Currumbin, which is 50 min away which may be worth the trip. I'm not sure how Miss Muffet would go in the esky during the trip. I'll have to weigh up my options. Lady is still sitting on her nest, Papa mentioned the other day that I'm going to have to decide what I'm going to do with her babies, I figured that I was just going to have me some ducklings, but I may have to give them away. I really need to work it out in the next few days as those eggs must be hatching soon. Does any one want some Lady/Tommy offspring?
Speedy is finally off her eggs. Some craggy old bitch of hen kicked her off. Its great having Speedy off the nest walking around. It makes her seem less crazy. Its coming up to the year anniversary of all my ducks dying. What a crap start to the year that was last year. I'm so pleased that Tommy and Speedy are still with me.
