Chick in distress

Barneys chick, Bubbles, has had a misshap. She has a very swollen leg. At first we suspected it was broken, but she's hoping along on it and the swelling is going a little bit. Here you can see her standing on just the one good leg. She doesn't seem too put off by it all.



They were in the paddock with the horses but with all the rain it was a quagmire and we think she may have got under the horses. Anyway, we have moved them up to Grandads shed out of the prevailing weather and have her under close obsrvation. By the way for the more observant of you she has had a name change to Bubbles after Barney thought abit about it and decided that Night Kiwi was probably not the right name for such a tiny, pretty, chick.
