Woof woof.

13

00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:05,960

I make loud noise too.

Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.

14

00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:09,760

Stop barking.

Woof, you're making.

15

00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,120

My head feel worse.

Woof.

16

00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,840

What's wrong boss?

You should be out of bed.

17

00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:24,880

Woof.

Link, what are you doing, dude?

18

00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,960

Ouch, you just stepped on me.

Link woof.

19

00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,320

We'll meet both.

They'll do For better.

20

00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520

Let's cuddle, woof.

Link I can't breathe.

21

00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,720

You're squishing me.

Mom help.

22

00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,880

What is it, buddy?

I can hardly breathe with this

23

00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,920

cold and Link is making it

worse.

24

00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,560

I see honey, we're all

struggling to do our best with

25

00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200

this cold.

I'm sure Link is just trying to

26

00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,760

comfort you.

He does not understand.

27

00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,760

You're not feeling well.

I will try to take him upstairs.

28

00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,240

Come on, Link.

Let's go upstairs.

29

00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,480

Let Xander get some rest.

Ruff again.

30

00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,240

Let's go to the Mom boss Roof.

Whoa, careful link.

31

00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,320

Woof, loop around the Mom boss.

Go back to boss Xander Roof.

32

00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,200

Link No, don't jump on me.

Link no stop.

33

00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,480

Woof, go back to the Mom boss.

This is fun.

34

00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,120

Woof.

Mom, please take him out.

35

00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,800

He's going to trample me here.

Link.

36

00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,480

Come here now, I'll shut the

door when he runs out.

37

00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,440

Roof on my way.

Mom Boss.

38

00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,200

Roof.

Oh what?

39

00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,520

I will get back to Boss Xander.

Mom boss.

40

00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,760

Roof, Roof.

Link, stop your barking.

41

00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,840

Come on.

We're going out to the dog yard

42

00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:51,840

to you.

Settle down.

43

00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,920

Xander needs his rest.

No link.

44

00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680

Stop that.

Stop scratching at the door.

45

00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280

Come on out to the yard with

you.

46

00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,040

Woof no woof, Sander needs me.

Woof.

47

00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,720

Link.

Come on, don't make me pull you

48

00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:17,360

all the way upstairs, uh.

No, I don't like it when you

49

00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,320

pull.

I want to stay with Boss Xander.

50

00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,720

Roof, Roof.

Come on.

51

00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,880

Link.

Oh, I have a treat for you.

52

00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,920

Treat, oh, gummy treats.

I love treats.

53

00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:31,920

Mom Boss Woof.

Let's go up and out to the yard.

54

00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240

I'm going woof.

There, go get your treat.

55

00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,720

Yummy treat.

Hey wait, I'm stuck outside.

56

00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,040

What's underneath me?

Roof.

57

00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,680

Woof.

Ay yay yay oh Link, you fell for

58

00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160

the treat trick.

Treat Trick.

59

00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,560

Jefa, Rosie.

See when the mom person offers

60

00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,360

you a treat to distract you and

get you out of the way.

61

00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,480

That's exactly what happened.

Jefa.

62

00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,280

Wow, you're so smart.

No, I've just been around longer

63

00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560

than you have and I have learned

their tricks.

64

00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,480

So what were you doing that got

you sent out to the dog yard?

65

00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,680

I just want to play and help

Xander feel better.

66

00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,360

He's been making a lot of

strange noises.

67

00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,400

He was down and it's my job to

make him feel better.

68

00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,640

He loved to run and play, but he

started to run around so he

69

00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,360

could chase me.

I even jumped up on the bed with

70

00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,840

him so he could wrestle.

But then he called for the Mom

71

00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:35,040

boss.

You say Xander was making a

72

00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,080

strange noise.

Did it sound like this?

73

00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,680

Yes, that's what it was.

Jefa, Rosie.

74

00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,840

Oh, do you know?

Haven't you noticed most of the

75

00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,320

familia is making those noises?

Not that you say it.

76

00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,280

Yes, I have heard the family

making those noises.

77

00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,240

What is it?

Most of them are in enfermos with

78

00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,000

a cold.

Enfermos

79

00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,320

Oh, that's.

How we say sick in Spanish.

80

00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:06,240

They do not feel well.

It's coughing, sneezing, they

81

00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,440

need extra sleep and medicine.

Sometimes they even use this

82

00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,840

little strange teapot to pour

water through their nose.

83

00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800

Oh, I saw boss Xander do

that this morning.

84

00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,440

I tried to lick the water and he

told me no.

85

00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,320

In trouble again.

Oh, I'm glad he stopped you.

86

00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,880

You do not want to drink that

water.

87

00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,400

It's really salty.

Have you tried it jefa?

88

00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,680

No, but I heard Maddox tell

Kitten to stay away from the

89

00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,040

sink while she did it.

She told Kitten it was very

90

00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,680

salty and it would be bad for

her to drink.

91

00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,280

Oh, I'm not in trouble for that,

while Xander was just trying to

92

00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:47,920

keep me from drinking something

bad.

93

00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,440

Thanks jefa, you've made me

feel a lot better.

94

00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,080

Of course.

That's what a hermana

95

00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,800

major is for.

A hermana mayor jefa?

96

00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,720

Is that more Spanish?

You're catching on.

97

00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:02,960

It means big sister.

What's jefa?

98

00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,680

You are no bigger than me.

Well, that's for sure.

99

00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,120

Xander is barely bigger than

you.

100

00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,880

In this case, big stands for

older, not larger.

101

00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200

Whoa, I got it.

Whoa, hermana mayor, that's the

102

00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320

first time you've called

yourself mi hermana.

103

00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,800

I know I should have probably

accepted you as me hermano

104

00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,680

Menor sooner, but I was having a

hard time with the change,

105

00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,680

Lo siento

I think I understand but tell me

106

00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,440

if I get something wrong.

Hermano me hermano manor my

107

00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,120

brother.

Because there's an o sound at

108

00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,600

the end and not an a, but I

don't know what Manor means.

109

00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,520

It means little.

Well, younger in your case.

110

00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,960

And lo siento jefa.

Oh, that means I'm sorry.

111

00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,120

Oh jefa hermana.

I'm so happy you're me, hermana.

112

00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,960

Oh, boss sister, Oh, I like it.

Me gusta!

113

00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440

Meow, you both look pretty

happy.

114

00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,760

How can that be?

The whole family is sick.

115

00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,200

I feel so bad for Maddox.

She just keeps coughing.

116

00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,680

Oh, it's nothing.

Nothing.

117

00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,920

It's the best news, Boss.

Jefa

118

00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360

Rosie just called me her hermano

Manor.

119

00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,800

And what's that exactly?

It means the younger brother, we

120

00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,280

are brother sister now.

Siblings.

121

00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520

Bless you

Oh no, you're not getting sick

122

00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,400

too.

I did not think pets could catch

123

00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,640

human colds.

Meow, I did not sneeze

124

00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,120

I said siblings.

It's a word meaning brother,

125

00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,840

sister.

You are now siblings.

126

00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,360

Yes siblings jefa Rosie is a

me hermana mayor.

127

00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,280

I'm her hermano Manor.

Does mayor mean older?

128

00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440

Yes it does.

Pets can't catch the human

129

00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,560

colds.

Can't they?

130

00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,520

No, it's very rare.

Most colds are caused by viruses

131

00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,120

that are adapted to humans and

won't survive in a cat or dog.

132

00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,920

What's a virus boss?

Viruses are microscopic germs

133

00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,240

that attack cells so that they

can multiply and make you sick,

134

00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,520

Didn't clucky call

viruses

135

00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,080

Sneaky ninja germs?

Meow, yes he did.

136

00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,440

That's a good description.

A virus cannot survive or create

137

00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,200

more viruses on its own.

It can only invade a host then

138

00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,679

replicate inside it and making

that person sick.

139

00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840

I wish the sneaky ninja germs

would go away.

140

00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,480

Me too.

De acuerdo!

141

00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,880

I agree, but I'm glad we won't

get it.

142

00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,240

We will likely not get it.

There are illnesses known as

143

00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,440

zoonotic illnesses or diseases

that can be transmitted from

144

00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,640

humans to pets, like rabies or

COVID-19.

145

00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,600

That mean we were going to be

out in the dog yard until

146

00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,840

they're all better, boss.

No, it's just a cold.

147

00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,160

It's a bad cold.

But I heard the mom person on

148

00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,560

the phone with the doctor and

all their tests came back

149

00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:10,200

negative.

For any of the bad things like

150

00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,120

COVID-19.

We just need to be extra calm

151

00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,600

and help them feel better.

I can do that.

152

00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,280

Thanks boss for letting me know

how I can best help.

153

00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360

Boss Xander

You're welcome.

154

00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,520

I'm off to see Clucky in the

hands.

155

00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,960

I'm sure they're wondering why

Xander has not been down yet.

156

00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:43,720

Grey, skies are gonna clear up.

Put on a happy face, brush off

157

00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:49,840

the clouds and cheer up.

Put on a happy face and spread

158

00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:59,600

sunshine all over the place.

Just put on a happy face,

159

00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,680

kitten.

What's wrong?

160

00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,760

You only sing that song to make

yourself feel better.

161

00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,000

What's happening?

What?

162

00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,640

Haven't we seen Xander yet?

Hi, Clucky.

163

00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,280

It came down to tell you the

whole family has an awful cold.

164

00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,040

They're all coughing and

sneezing and really tired.

165

00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,400

Oh no.

What can we do to help?

166

00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,840

Not much Bella, we are stuck in

the coop.

167

00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,200

Oh this is just dreadful.

Who is going to help me?

168

00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,080

Now help you.

What's wrong with you, Brigitta?

169

00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,680

Yes.

Why do you need help? Bridget,

170

00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,960

I don't like your tone.

It's like you think I am making

171

00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,720

something up.

Well, you do have a flair for

172

00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,520

the dramatic, Brigitta.

That may be true, but I don't

173

00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,000

make things up.

In fact, I can't believe that

174

00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,160

none of you have noticed yet.

Is there a probleme?

175

00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:58,560

Je suis pret.

I'm ready and here to help.

176

00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880

Oh, hi Feral, you just seem

to appear out of nowhere.

177

00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,120

I heard the sounds of distress

and thought I could provide some

178

00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,720

assistance.

Oh, Feral, it's so nice to

179

00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:14,560

see a sympathetic soul.

Of course, Ma there, I care for all

180

00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:17,240

of you deeply.

What is the probleme?

181

00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,000

Yeah, Brigitta, what's got ya

so worked up?

182

00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,800

I think I may have some sort of

terrible disease or illness.

183

00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,960

Here we go.

Hear her out.

184

00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,560

Bridget, tell us what symptoms

you are having.

185

00:11:29,560 --> 00:11:33,880

Brigitta. symptoms?

Yes, symptoms are the things

186

00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,200

that you experience that make

you feel like something's not

187

00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,120

right.

What's going on that makes you

188

00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,120

think you might have a disease

or an illness?

189

00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,160

Oh, right.

Well, I'm very tired.

190

00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,040

I have so little energy.

I'm not hungry.

191

00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,600

It's been a day or two since I

have pooped and I have this lump

192

00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,280

that has started to form on my

chest.

193

00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,200

I think it might be the end.

Of me.

194

00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,080

Wow, that's a lot going on.

How long have you been feeling

195

00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,240

this way?

It's been a whole day.

196

00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,320

C’est une emergence! Someone must

call a veterinarian.

197

00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:10,280

We need to get Brigitta help

now.

198

00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,480

A day.

Calm down everyone.

199

00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:24,560

Let's just take a deep breath

and take a look at the facts.

200

00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,960

Brigitta

Those symptoms do sound quite

201

00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,480

worrisome.

However, it's only been a day.

202

00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,160

Or maybe 2?

Or maybe 2.

203

00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,000

I'm no expert, but usually

serious illnesses take more time

204

00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,560

to develop.

Kitten, Mon Amour, I know

205

00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:44,720

you're smart.

But pauvre Brigitta is suffering.

206

00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,320

You cannot just dismiss her

worries.

207

00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,200

I am not Feral, I am very

concerned about Brigitta.

208

00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:55,920

However, panicking in a

situation never solved a

209

00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,440

problem.

So what do we do?

210

00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:01,800

The family is sick and Brigitta

maybe too.

211

00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,640

Agreed, the family is sick, but

just because they are sick does

212

00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,200

not mean they will not come down

and check on everyone here.

213

00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:10,880

They're just going a little

slower than usual.

214

00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,440

Oh, I think someone's coming

now.

215

00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920

It does not sound like Xander,

but maybe the mom and dad

216

00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,600

people.

I wonder if Xander is too sick

217

00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,920

to make it down.

Feral, you had better hide.

218

00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,560

We don't want you to be a

distraction and take away from

219

00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,600

them noticing Brigitta.

Bonne idee,

220

00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,080

This is a good idea my kitten.

I will stay behind these bushes.

221

00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,880

I will not be far if help is

needed.

222

00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,000

What should I do?

I think it would be best for you

223

00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,600

to be dramatic, lay down and act

like something is wrong.

224

00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,120

We want to be sure that the mom

and dad people notice something

225

00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,840

is amiss.

That won't be hard for her to

226

00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,800

do.

My flair for the dramatic has

227

00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,960

its uses.

No, not there.

228

00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760

You are too far from the door.

It would be better if you are

229

00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,520

close to the door so they can

easily reach you to check you

230

00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:14,360

out.

Righto.

231

00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,440

Good idea Bella, the rest of us

should act normal.

232

00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:26,320

That way they notice Brigitta.

The cold is really hitting

233

00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,480

Xander hard.

Thanks for coming down with me

234

00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,760

to check on the chickens.

Everyone is having a hard time

235

00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000

with this one.

Usually one of us avoids getting

236

00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,440

sick.

I'm glad we can all help each

237

00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,280

other.

Hello everyone, Kitten I see

238

00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,000

you're down here too making the

rounds.

239

00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,000

Sorry chickens, but Xander

cannot make it down today.

240

00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,680

He's not feeling well.

Brock.

241

00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,000

Brock.

Oh wow.

242

00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:53,840

Is me Brock?

Brock.

243

00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,120

Brock.

Is something wrong with that

244

00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,440

hen?

Which one is it?

245

00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,080

That one's Brigitta

You're right, something does

246

00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,040

look off.

She is usually up and scratching

247

00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,240

the ground with the rest of

them.

248

00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,040

Let's see if we can get her out

and take a closer look.

249

00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,320

Gotcha.

Convenient that she was laying

250

00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,880

with an easy reach.

It sure was.

251

00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,280

Now let's look and see what the

problem is.

252

00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,000

Oh my, you've got a bit of a

bump there on your chest.

253

00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,880

She noticed Brawk

Oh, just tell me I can take the

254

00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,240

bad news.

Do you know what's going on?

255

00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840

Is it something serious?

I think so.

256

00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,920

I have to go do a little bit of

research back up at the house,

257

00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,440

but I think I know what's going

on.

258

00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,120

What's that?

I think she has a condition

259

00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800

called sour crop.

Sour crop?

260

00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,280

I've never heard of it.

Does it mean she ate something

261

00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,520

bad and has gone sour?

Kind of.

262

00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,200

Chickens have a very different

digestive system than humans.

263

00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,960

They don't have teeth, so they

break their food down in a

264

00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,360

different way.

I've never really thought about

265

00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240

it, but yes, not having teeth

would make how they consume food

266

00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520

very different.

Brock, I've always wanted to

267

00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,720

know how this works.

Once they swallow the food, it

268

00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,760

goes down the esophagus, just

like us.

269

00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,160

However, instead of going into

the stomach, the food goes into

270

00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,280

a sack in the front of the chest

called the crop.

271

00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,280

There, the food can stay for up

to 12 hours while it waits to

272

00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,680

proceed to the stomach.

So the crop is a place where

273

00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200

food is held until the stomach

is ready to process it.

274

00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,760

Yes, however sometimes the food

can get stuck there and cause a

275

00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,800

bulge.

And as you can imagine, if it

276

00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,600

stays there too long, it can

cause a problem for the chicken.

277

00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,480

So you think she has food stuck

in her crop?

278

00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,280

I think so.

Do we need to take her to the

279

00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,200

vet?

Not yet.

280

00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,720

There are some things we can try

to help get things moving.

281

00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,720

How can I help?

Do you mind holding her upside

282

00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,880

down?

Whoa, Bawk

283

00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,080

It's OK girl, I've got you.

I won't drop you.

284

00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,600

I forgot about his strong hands.

Bawk, it sounds like you are

285

00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,280

enjoying this Brawk

You heard them.

286

00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,840

I have a problem, Bawk

I'll agree there, Brawk

287

00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,440

Calm down girl, I'm going to

just rub a little on this bump.

288

00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,800

Chickens cannot burp or throw up

on their own, so if something

289

00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,800

gets caught, they need a little

extra help.

290

00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,599

Oh, how embarrassing.

Good girl.

291

00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:25,599

Wow, that smells awful.

I'm fairly certain something's

292

00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:27,640

caught in there and it's

starting to go bad.

293

00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,320

Why am I holding her upside

down?

294

00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,640

That's so she doesn't

accidentally choke if anything

295

00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,160

comes up.

Humans have a little flap called

296

00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,480

the epiglottis that closes over

our windpipe to make sure food

297

00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,080

doesn't go down it.

Chickens don't have this, so we

298

00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,040

want to make sure anything that

comes up doesn't end up going

299

00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:44,880

down her windpipe.

Oh.

300

00:17:48,120 --> 00:17:52,280

My.

Wow, that one was a stinker.

301

00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,280

Some goo is coming up too.

That's enough.

302

00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,600

You can put her in the nesting

box, she can rest there for the

303

00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,600

night.

Hopefully that gets things

304

00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,360

moving and she's back to normal

tomorrow.

305

00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,040

What if she is not?

I'm going to check my resources,

306

00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,320

but I think I will also put down

some more grit in the bottom of

307

00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,440

the coop.

If she's not doing better by

308

00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840

tomorrow, I may have to give her

a little olive oil to help

309

00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,280

things get moving as well.

What does the grit do?

310

00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,680

Because chickens don't have

teeth, they need to eat grit,

311

00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,760

small rocks and sand to help

grind up the food once it gets

312

00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,760

to their gizzard.

That's what they call the

313

00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,280

chicken's stomach.

Why do you know all this?

314

00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,760

I'm a mom.

I have to know all these things.

315

00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,200

And also we had chickens when I

was growing up.

316

00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:41,800

Of course, well done.

Take care chickens.

317

00:18:42,120 --> 00:18:46,760

Be sure to eat your grit.

Is it safe to come out?

318

00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:48,920

Yes, Feral, the coast is

clear.

319

00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,960

Can you believe all the stuff we

just learned about how chickens

320

00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,480

bodies work?

The mom person has as much

321

00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,560

information as kitten.

Oh, she has a lot more.

322

00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,360

Think of how long she's been

alive.

323

00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,200

Imagine how much we will know if

we live that long.

324

00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,640

Oh.

mon dieu, where is Brigitta?

325

00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,080

Brigitta.

Where are you?

326

00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,800

And how are you feeling?

She's just in the nesting box to

327

00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,360

rest more comfortably.

Much better, but thoroughly

328

00:19:16,360 --> 00:19:19,400

embarrassed.

Why would you be embarrassed?

329

00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,600

I had smelly burps and threw up

in front of everyone.

330

00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,800

Oh ne t'inquiète pas!

331

00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,320

That is

Do not worry.

332

00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,280

Those are just normally bodily

functions.

333

00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,240

You must do that to make your

body feel better.

334

00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,440

Yeah, don't feel bad, Brigitta,

it's what your body needed.

335

00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,400

Was it really unpleasant?

Surprisingly, no.

336

00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,680

I do feel a lot better, but I do

think I am going to take a nap.

337

00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,000

It was a lot, Bawk

Resting sounds like a good idea.

338

00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,120

Thank you all for your help.

Of course we are family, and

339

00:19:55,120 --> 00:19:58,000

family helps each other get some

rest.

340

00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,800

I don't know about the rest of

you, but I'm certainly going to

341

00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,240

eat my grit so I don't have to

go through that.

342

00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,800

Good idea.

It sounds like humans eating

343

00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,480

their vegetables, chickens

eating their grit.

344

00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,920

Enjoy.

I'm off to check on Maddox.

345

00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,760

Kitten, ma chere, I shall promener

avec toi up to the maison

346

00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,960

and then I shall return home as

well.

347

00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:24,160

I must ensure your safety.

I don't think an escort is

348

00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,760

necessary, but sure.

Feral, let's go.

349

00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,160

Thank you for joining us for

today's episode.

350

00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,920

This episode was written by Amy

Daniels and Christine Rozum.

351

00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,680

Voices for today's characters

were performed by Olga Rivera as

352

00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,560

Rosie.

Of course, that's what a hermana

353

00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,760

mayor is for

Matt Daniels as the dad person

354

00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:47,440

How?

Can I help?

355

00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,360

Christine Rozum as Feral.

Is it safe to come out?

356

00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000

Corbin Daniels as Xander.

Don't jump on me.

357

00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,880

And link.

I thought Rosie just called me

358

00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,400

Her

Hermano manor

359

00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,760

Parker Daniels as Bridget.

Here we go.

360

00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,880

Bella.

Oh no, what can we do to

361

00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,560

Help? and Brigitta.

You heard them.

362

00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,800

I have a problem brawk!

Amy Daniels as mom.

363

00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,960

I'm a mom.

I have to know all these things

364

00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,320

kitten.

Imagine how much we will know if

365

00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,400

we live that long.

And clucky.

366

00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,080

Can you believe all the stuff we

just learned about how chickens

367

00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,760

bodies work?

Special thanks to Henry Johnson,

368

our theme song composer.

Did you know he wrote that when

369

00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,280

he was only 12 years old?

Yes, There's a bio of him on our

370

00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,480

website.

We have a website,

Woo Hoo.

Yes, Michigan sounds like a good

location to make plans.

387

00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,560

And now what are you talking

about?

388

00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,280

In this segment?

You get to tell us what's on

389

00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,000

your mind.

Tell us a joke, share a fun

390

00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,880

fact, or ask us your burning

questions.

391

00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,480

Lucky no one has burning

questions.

392

00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:52,280

You never know.

My name's Nate and I'm five

393

00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,560

years old and I'm from Texas.

How did Nate?

394

00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,200

Hi, Nate.

Knock, knock.

395

00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,760

Who's there?

Kanga.

396

00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,280

Kangaroo.

It's actually a kangaroo.

397

00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,480

Kangaroo.

Bye.

398

00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:19,680

Adios amigo, Bye.

Oh, this message is from Knox,

399

00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:25,200

age 8 in Riverview, FL Knox sent

in a fun fact about Siberian

400

00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,200

tigers.

Did we know that Siberian tigers

401

00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,280

are the largest cats in the

world?

402

00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,480

That is true.

Wow, how big are they?

403

00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,680

Well, according to the BBC

Wildlife magazine, Siberian

404

00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,400

tigers can get up to 300

kilograms.

405

00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:50,120

Wow, how many pounds is that?

That is over 660 lbs.

406

00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:56,040

That's a really big cat.

That is a big cat and it is the

407

00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,400

largest one found in the wild.

However, Knox, did you know

408

00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,080

there is an even bigger cat?

It is a hybrid between a lion

409

00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720

and a tiger.

It's called a Liger.

410

00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,480

They're only bred in captivity,

and the current largest Liger in

411

00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,800

captivity is named Hercules.

Hercules lives at Myrtle Beach

412

00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:25,120

Safari in California.

He weighs 418 kilograms, which

413

00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:33,480

is 921 lbs.

Oh my, that is such a big cat.

414

00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,720

I wonder how much he eats in a

day.

415

00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,200

I think that's a question for

another time.

416

00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,640

Thanks so much Knox for your fun

fact.

417

00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:47,040

Hey Odick, Kitten and Cookie.

Hello, my name's Kara and I'm

418

00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,920

from snowy California.

I'm 8 years old and I have a

419

00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,560

joke.

Hello, Caroline.

420

00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,960

My joke is what's the witch's

favorite?

421

00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,880

Concept.

I don't know what is a witch's

422

00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,000

favorite subject.

It's starring.

423

00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:06,440

Meow, meow, meow.

Wait.

424

00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,800

I don't get it.

Why do witches like to spell?

425

00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:15,800

Oh, spell.

Like casting spells.

426

00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,320

Rock, rock, rock.

Thank you.

427

00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:25,480

Bye.

Next up is Genevieve, age 5 from

428

00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,560

Zion, IL.

How did Genevieve?

429

00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,120

She's got a joke for us.

All right, let's hear it.

430

00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,280

What's a cat's favorite dessert?

I don't know What.

431

00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:42,200

Yeah.

Oh, it's mice cream.

432

00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,960

I don't think I've ever had mice

cream.

433

00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,240

I'm more of a fish girl.

Thank you, Genevieve.

434

00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,440

I don't think I'll be trying

that one.

435

00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:55,880

Howdy.

You're backing to us.

436

00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,400

Hello, my name is Calvin, I'm

from Minneapolis, and I have a

437

00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,040

Riddle for you today.

Oh, a Riddle.

438

00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,040

I love riddles.

Where does today come before

439

00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,640

yesterday?

Where does today come before

440

00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,760

yesterday?

Well, that's impossible.

441

00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,040

It's a Riddle, Clucky.

It can't be impossible.

442

00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,120

Answer in a dictionary.

Oh, of course, the dictionary.

443

00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,880

You are right, it wasn't

impossible.

444

00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:30,760

Thanks, Calvin.

Thank you.

445

00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:33,480

Bye.

But Kitten, we're going to take

a break over the summer.

451

00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,160

I know that Klecky.

However, if he continue to get

452

00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,720

calls and messages, we might

have some bonus barking over the

453

00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,560

summer.

Oh, I like the idea of bonus

454

00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,680

barking.

And then we'll return this fall

455

00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:19,040

with full episodes in Season 6.

Wow, season 6.
