She'd have been 2 this April. She was laying regular up to being broody. She was "broody" for about 3-4 days (walking around puffed up and clucking) before she finally sat on the nest, so I knew it was coming. She's not thin or bony at all... She was warm when I took her off the nest today. I've flashlighted her the best I can without disturbing her dying, and I don't see any wounds or lice/mites.
Her entire body is cold right now, even though the house is 75 and I'm right next to the wood stove (that's on). Her breathing is shallow, her head is hanging down off my lap and her comb is now purple.
She has no power to move her body at all.

edited because my hands are confused

So anyway, I take care of the skunks by default. And I will never, ever get away with anything.

When I was in junior high my friend used it to keep her stud horse from being able to smell her mares. I've used it on my dogs when a female is in heat.

What?!  What did I do?  I never win anything, or guess anything, or even get picked randomly...ha...going to find LareePQG!   Way cool!

Patches didn't work. They worked on me like the caffine capsules. I actually wanted cigarettes more oftem too. When a anti smoking comercial comes on, I need a cigarette. Figured that one out when my husband was alive and I hadn't smoked for almost a month. Stupid commercial started and I hunted down the emergency pack and lite up. Those things are like triggers. Bad dentures, so no gum. I used to chew Dentine all the time. No real food for that matter. I've quit before and I've cut way back the past couple of months, so when I get to a once in a while cigarette, I'll stop. Normal things never work for me, cause I just ain't normal. LOL

Do you have Diabetes Arielle? . I've been testing kind of positive for it. Borderline I believe they call it . I think it is why I have trouble keeping my weight up to a good level. I need to find a diet I can eat that will put some weight on me with out adding sugar . Sometimes when I am doing a lot of hard "Yard Chores" My weight will really drop down and then I'll use a lot of sugary things to get the calories to get it back up

Oh well. It stinks and I care for her, but she wasn't one of my favorite hens, although seeing her puffed up and broody always made me laugh. I'd have a mental breakdown if my favorite hen died, so I consider it lucky that it was Black Betty.

I'm not a coffee drinker either.  Just don't like it!  I do drink tea but it's usually herbal tea since I am hyper enough without caffiene.  I hate the taste of alcohol too.  I can stand it if it tastes sweet and has almost no alcohol in it but as most bartenders have said "why bother then?".  I used to perform in clubs and folks were always wanting to buy me drinks.  Imagine their disappointment when they ask what I'm drinking and I reply "hot water".          Hey, warm water is a singer's best friend!

I thought when I got older that I would learn to like wine, or some kinds of alcohol anyway, but my palate never matured.

my mares used to do that to me.   I'd sit outside and wait for hours to watch them foal.  Midnight on.   I'd walk to the house to get coffee to stay warm 300 feet away come back and the foal would be on the ground.

I guess they know I am getting old most foal 12 pm to 6 pm now... Don't ask me why...  the last 4 years they have done this   I love it.   Only one baby this year.   It will be a buckskin....
 

Also some of you may have noticed Laree's been MIA. She's been up to super secret important work lately and was unable to run her Liar, Liar Pants on Fire Contest.

However, she still had a prize to give away.

She used a random number generator to choose a random post number, and will give the prize away to the poster of the random number chosen.
