Sorry to hear about Annie passing away! Seems like you did everything you could to keep her comfortable before she left. I love your basement enclosure! I've never seen anything quite like that before, but it's very clever. How's Bertha doing? Putting on any more weight? Reading about it has me intrigued, pls doI'll take some pictures when I put it back together so you all can appreciate how neat the design is.
I haven't checked her weight recently but she's adjusted well to life as a chicken again. We're fortunate that she and the rooster get along well and seem to enjoy each other's company. She'll still eat as much hot dog as you'll feed her! I think her appetite for snacks increases whenever she's forced to eat standard chicken fare instead of begged bites of whatever I'm eating.
