Sadly Sweetpea is ill again, it looks like the same issue as she’s suffered with previously, so she’s on antibiotics and some food supplements to build her back up. Hopefully she’ll be back to her usual self in a few days.
Unfortunately because chickens are prey birds they can turn on weaker members of the flock to maintain the strength of the group as a whole. Poor little Sweetie was being bullied by Princess and Henrietta this morning, so I separated her from them in the temporary hospital ward (otherwise known as the dog cage). Where she can eat, drink and rest without being disturbed.
Most of us have people in our lives that aren’t always supportive, its okay to put some distance between you, particularly if you aren’t feeling 100%. Protecting yourself from negativity is always a positive move. So if you have someone who creates negativity, but you can’t cut out of your life altogether, then reduce their impact. Unfollow on social media, restrict contact to when you’re feeling strong and in control, above all be kind to yourself.
