I have had a bit of a hiding lately.
A late bred disappeared last week, and turned up next evening with what i thought was a broken leg. I kept her in a box for a few days until it started hopping around then put her back. She is flying good, but limps around. Looks terrible.
Then a young hen laid one egg but the other one must have got stuck, she got sick and died.
Yesterday morning Catherine sent me a message that our neighbour had arrived at the door with a pigeon he had found on the back doorstep. It's one of mine and has hit a TV aerial or something and hurt it's wing. I don't think it's broken, it is holding it up rather than it drooping. So it's in the box.
It was a cold night that night, right down to freezing, so the poor wee thing spent the night on the doorstep shivering with a bung wing. No wonder he just reached down and picked it up.
Hopefully that's the run of bad luck for now.
Shame mate hope it is a knock more than anything and it recovers
