Der süße Rascal mußte leider eingeschläfert werden, da die Aussichten für eine Operation - Einsetzen einer Stabilisierungsschiene am Bein - sehr mäßig waren.
Letztendlich eine weise Entscheidung, um den Kleinen zu erlösen.

Day at vet
Rascal and popcorn spent the day at the vet, I dropped them off at 8 AM and came at 430 PM. It was unfortunate, but there was nothing more that could be done for Rascal. Her leg had progressed, and attempts to try to splint would not align it properly. Also there are some early signs of joint damage. The prospects after any surgery were very dim, there was no splint that would correct her properly. The decision was made that it would be humane to stop here. We all said good-bye to Rascal.
Popcorn is in with Buffy and Ginger, the two friendliest chickens, to keep Popcorn company. They are 7 months old, Buff Orpingtons. I made a bed of alfalfa for everyone.
