Wednesday Chewy & Simon Update
Today is Wednesday and Chewy wanted everyone to know that he ate his breakfast all by himself. He ate a TON of corn treats and some duck chow, too. Then he ate more corn. He did not need to be force-fed and he came out of his pen to play and look for worms.
We think he is stressed out by Racquel and Olivia, so they unfortunately got locked up in their night pen all day today, so Chewy could spend the day in the aviary with his wingman Flapper… without being chased by chickens who just want to snuggle.
We may build another partition in the aviary this weekend so Chewy doesn’t have to snuggle with Racquel and Olivia anymore. He needs a stress-free environment to recover from his infection. Maybe we will get Racquel and Olivia a big stuffed animal so they don’t miss their snuggles.
In other news, Simon ate a ton of food last night, too. We gave him his old food to see if he would eat it and boy did he ever. Even if it causes a rash again, the vet said it’s better to have him eating. So I think for today, both Simon and Chewy are doing very well.
It’s a good day.

Hooray!
all good news indeed!
Yay! Glad to hear they are both feeling better!
Wonderful news!
Aw shucks Chewy, silkies are like the biggest weinies other than buff orpingtons. I’m sorry to hear the ladies are stressing you out but I hope you get better as well as Simon.
Both updates sound great to me too. Both eating, some eating old cat food, others back to eating bugs and worms. sounds good to me.
“Without being chased by chickens who just want to snuggle.”
LOL.
Such a chick magnet, that ChooChoo. I just knew he was going to be ok.
Glad Simon is better, too, and building up the chub.
Yipee! We’re glad to hear Chewy & Simon are feeling better! Nothing like corn, worms, & bugs to cheer a duck up!
I’m not at all surprised that the chicks snuggle with Chewy. They miss their Friend and Companion Sunny. Looks like these lovely girls have given this honor to Chewy.
