Today Lionel Ernest went to the vet for a check-up to see how his foot is doing. I love taking new rescues back to the vet because they suddenly realize I am the best thing around, compared to everything else. Lionel stuck close to me at the vet&#8217;s office when he otherwise will have nothing to do with me. See Lionel? I&#8217;m not so bad after all.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7095\/7183164510_671598aaa2.jpg\" alt=\"no\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;Get away from me, chicken!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7098\/7183157866_bd1d77b147.jpg\" alt=\"olly\" \/><br \/>\nOlly Astro also came to the vet today to have a quick re-check after her sneezing and swollen belly from a few weeks ago. She is all better, which is great. She is a very good chicken and I&#8217;m glad she&#8217;s feeling better.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7091\/7183500806_df1ae7d9ff.jpg\" alt=\"burrito\" \/><br \/>\nLionel was briefly wrapped up like a burrito so the vet could draw some blood and make sure his infection is improving. He looks like he&#8217;s smiling here, but he was very angry and bit me when we finally unwrapped the Lionel burrito.<\/p>\n<p>Lionel&#8217;s foot swelling is improving, but he&#8217;ll stay on antibiotics. He may need to have his foot opened up and cleaned out, but we&#8217;ll wait a few more weeks before resorting to that. For now, he has gained weight (1.1kg 10-days-ago and 1.3kg now), he&#8217;s feeling better and we&#8217;ll have his blood results on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5459\/7184886384_95c3e8514c.jpg\" alt=\"miles\" \/><br \/>\nOnce we were back home, all the kids enjoyed the sunshine. Miles and Lucky look especially cute in bright sunlight with their stunning green heads.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5326\/7184886556_4069e54354.jpg\" alt=\"lucky\" \/><br \/>\nLucky is a perfect little domestic mallard.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7215\/7184884688_447dd8124d.jpg\" alt=\"miles\" \/><br \/>\nAnd he loves his buddy Miles. &#8220;Yoga stretch!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7095\/7184884934_a854afb58e.jpg\" alt=\"most\" \/><br \/>\nTogether they spend most of their days and nights staring at Danny girl, hoping to get close to her. Unfortunately she is a little too handicapped and fragile to handle these two, so their unrequited love will always be just out of reach. <\/p>\n<p>At least it gives them something to do together.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today.
