\"buttons\"
\nThis weekend started with a cup of coffee and lounging on the lawn with the flock. Cindy Buttons has decided I am her favorite perch, and she climbs on me whenever and wherever I sit down.<\/p>\n

\"buds\"
\nAfter lounging with the flock, we went out to gather supplies to make a sling for Persephone and Toro roo. Persy’s leg has really given out and she has trouble standing and turning. It’s tough to see her struggle.<\/p>\n

\"buds2\"
\nToro could also use a sling so he can stretch his legs. He can walk a little bit, but it is a big effort for him so he spends most of his time sitting down. These two poor kids are a mess.<\/p>\n

\"took\"
\nWe went to the fabric store, the hardware store and the used baby goods store. We ended up taking a baby bouncer chair and modifying it to fit Persephone Kerfuffle. The height is adjustable, but we got it pretty close right off the bat.<\/p>\n

\nHere’s a little video of Persy in the sling.<\/p>\n

\"comfy\"
\nI think it was pretty comfy because she fell asleep. Hopefully the chair gives her a little stability in her legs and lets her stretch them. She’ll get to spend about an hour a day in the sling, depending on when we’re home.<\/p>\n

\"toro\"
\nToro tried the swing next, and he was able to stretch out his legs and rest them a bit. It works well for both of them, so we’re pretty happy. <\/p>\n

We’re going to make a few adjustments to it and add some larger elastic, but for a first try, it works pretty well.<\/p>\n

\"bird\"
\nIn other news, we added some new paint and polkadots to the birdhouses that decorate the duck pens.<\/p>\n

\nAnd we learned a new secret about Carol.<\/p>\n

That’s it from the ducks and clucks (and kerfufflers). <\/p>\n

Have a good week.<\/p>\n
