Poorly Dym

Well, what a week we've had! It started off ok - we finished off the elderflower cordial, which made 5 litres! Matt has taken a liking to it with vodka and lemonade and I took some into work yesterday and it went down very well with some fizzy water. One of my work colleagues also asked me to make some for her wedding, which was very flattering. I'm so pleased it turned out so well:

But, on the down side, Dymchurch has not been very well. It started last weekend really - she has a very red bottom which is bare because her feathers haven't yet grown back - and she's been increasingly out of sorts. We thought she might be egg bound so we put her into a warm soapy bath which she seemed to enjoy a bit and kept her inside on Thursday night. On Friday we had to put her back into the run as we went to work and it was obvious that she was very uncomfortable and kep away from the others and wasn't eating so we brought her inside again last night and she's currently napping in the spare bedroom! We think she might have an infection of some kind so we are taking her to the vet this morning and hoping to get some antibiotics which will hopefully sort out whatever it is. We're everso worried about her so really hoping that the vet can help. This is her asleep this morning (it's not a very good photo because I couldn't use the flash):

We really hope the vet can help, hopefully next time I post it'll be good news!
