Noodle

The girls were fine for a few weeks but one evening we noticed the other two newbies really attacking Noodle. They had already started plucking out her tail feathers so we had used violet spray on her tail area. I also sent hubby out to get some anti peck spray but it made no difference. We decided that it was best to separate her and we planned to feed her up, allow her to get bigger before reintroducing her back.

After having her in the house we noticed something wasn't quite right with her. Her eyes were glazed over and she couldn't seem to pin point food on her own. To me she was blind.

The next few days were a struggle to get her to eat and drink but she would with lots of encouragement, scrambled egg and honey water. But on Friday she gave up, she wouldn't even try to eat or drink and just sat huddled in the corner of the cage. We called the supplier and he asked us to bring her back so he could take a look at her so hubby took the long drive back on Saturday.

The supplier said that it could have been stress and they decided to replace her but no longer had any Chalk Hill Blues. We were given one of their point of lay breading birds that they use to make the blues. She also lays blue eggs. She is called Noodle II!
