You've been a busy lady while you've been off

Yes I have!!! Me with free time and ebay/amazon prime is a dangerous thing! The thing about it is with all the work politics going on it hasn't been horrible being off-even without pay. But my little department in the back of the ER is my family. We look out for each other. We are always short staffed and with me off it puts my friends in an even worse position. I have worked at so many places where people don't care about one another and our small group of 8 nurses and 4 techs are incredible people that all get along and would do anything for each other. So I feel bad/sad to leave them even more short and I miss them Tomorrow is my first day back on desk duty and my MRI is Tuesday. I will find out Friday if there is any tissue, ligament or tendon damage (or maybe I can bug the radiologist for a sneak peak before I leave I swear if it weren't for my birds I think I would have gone stir crazy. I take a chair in the run and a few on my favorites will hop up on my lap & get pet until they fall aslep!(I even fell asleep once with them lol).

What kind of goats are these?......

Need some help, friends... I seem to have worms in my flock. I've spent most of my Sunday following around poopers to see who has the overload- So far, just one OE 9 week old and two hens... I'm afraid it looks like tapeworm segments but want your expert opinions... What do I do now? I assume I need to worm the flock of 30... Is there an easier way than another to worm that many without having to catch each one? I realize the loose stool is a bad sign too! All are acting ok though...that I can tell. Also- what have I been doing wrong?!? I am meticulous about keeping the coop and run clean. They have about 800 square feet.

Thank you my friend!!!  I had to go grocery shopping and even pushing the cart was rough. Yeah-no sand and gravel or I won't have a functional wrist to take care of my feathered friends.
