Yes she is very well. Starting to get a but annoyed with being locked up but that's just what it is. I won't be doing her any favours by letting her out until that wing settles down a bit.
I was looking at the picture though, and yes, she does look good.
Feet are lovely and clean and warm. Life ring is all shiny like it was only put on yesterday, wattle is clean and white. The eyes are bright and the feathers are perfect.
And there's about 60 others here that all score the same. :D

Sorry to hear you have had a few casualties of late Muzza, I hope things have settled down a bit now and that you are back on track.
The pied hen does look in cracking condition, good to hear she is recovering nicely.
I had a late bred yearling return from a short trainer last week a day late, although their is no physical sign of damage and that she looks well enough in herself one of her wings is down so there is obviously something a miss with her, I'll just have to give her time and see how she goes.

That was a great result for Ollie.
I hope the purchasers are pleased with them and do well with the progeny.

It's father is a Van loon x Jos Thone,
It's mother is a Jos Thone x Van Loon.
Unrelated.
She was not happy with me pointing the camera at her. Adopted an angry pose :)

The news is not terrific about the wee hen with the bad wing.
I have gently picked her up and put her on the lawn near the loft for the last couple of days. She wanders around with the others and hops up into the loft, but cannot fly.
Tonight I found her heading back to the garage, so I picked her up, gently. I put clean paper and food in the hamper and put her in for the night.
Not looking real good. :(

I hope she does recover but could take some time.
