Spot does not feel good. She is weak and isn't eating well. She needed a bath and Eizabeth decided to take care of the task. I would have done it differently, but I appreciated that Elizabeth saw a need and took care of it.
Even after wrapping Spot up in a towel to dry her, she was really heavy with wet feathers. No camera caught it but she enjoyed a nice blow-drying with a warm dryer. Well, as much as a sick, wet chicken can enjoy anything.
This was actually last Saturday and she spent the next day in a plastic tub in the house and then on the back porch being coddled. I wonder if being the lowest chicken in the pecking order is causing stress that has led to her being ill? We did not think she would be alive a week later, but she is hanging in there.
