We are in a bit of a downhill slid. A couple years ago I introduced Marans to my flock. I paid premium prices but these are not premium birds. I have had nothing bug genetic issues in my hatches and birds with a weak immune system. Egg bound and sour crops too. Only ever with the marans. All my...

Yesterday everyone was fine, today one is making an odd mooing sound when she breathes. Obviously respiratory. GREAT!. She falls over when I catch her and she is gurgling. No one else is showing symptoms yet. She is separate. I have tetracyline water made up for the entire coop and I have...

Ok, let me start this with I don't feel as old as talking about this makes me feel right now. I have a lot of stuff going on and I just don't know what to think. I can't see my primary care because she can't fit anyone in unless its really necessary. My stuff i guess is not anything that will...

ok I made a pretty effective salve for itching and for chest rub. And they work really well. Happy with how this went and how easy it was. Now I want something for my dads hands AND for healing cuts and various wounds. My mom is forever tripping or getting into some tangle and she is older and...

Ok well I am starting my research now on exactly what I want. I have had to cull down my flock a bit due to an overpopulation of Roosters. but normally by summer I am back up around 50. Right now I use an old calf barn that my husband redid for my chickens. That way they had plenty of space even...

So my allergies have been really really bad the past few weeks. Mostly during and after driving the car. So I figured the car was the source and went to scrub it down today with vinegar water today and really air it out. Everything opened up. Car was clean when we bought it and no noticable...

I know Deb is dealing with this with her soon to be hubby but I am looking for information. As much as I can get. My sister has asthma. Has had it for many years. Adult onset. She was exposed for many years to black mold in army quarters and she went from allergies to severe asthma. Anywho now...

This isn't for politics or for picking sides but just something to give us all a reason to laugh today. They do say laughter is the best medicine so I thought I would provide the first doses today. Just keep smiling through the madness today and remember today the political adds will cease and...

Ok I knew I had allergies and usually they are fine. This year we got different hay and its killing me. Lots more alfalfa in this one and I get near it in the barns and I can't breathe. Never had this issue before, but this hay has a lot of powder to it. Not mold. Fresh out of the field it was...

Ok I have been a very very bad chicken mom. I incubated and raised chicks this year and ended up with masses of roosters. Seriously masses. We were around 20 ( a couple are questionable still). We had to kill 7 today. They ran almost like a pack and attacked everything. Terrorized my poor hens...

Ended up at my primary care doctor and the ER yesterday. My BP and pulse were way up and I was wicked anxious. I went to the doctor and finally gave into a beta blocker she had wanted me to try for anxiety. Found out my blood sugar is 90 even having eaten sweets an hour before. Also ended up...

Struggle struggle struggle. I am dreading the holidays guys. I see the calendar flashing by and I am more and more filled with dread. I used to love this time of year. Seriously I was all about the magic of it. I absorbed and hated for it to end. This year I just want to skip it. So much family...

Holy cow what a stressful night. So my daughter goes out and sees a baby chick all by itself, outside the coop. No mom in sight and we don't let my girls hatch usually. Major freakout. Found the mom with another chick but she had abandoned her eggs one of which was partially hatched. They were...

Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy And Grandpa, take me back to yesterday When the line between right and wrong Didn't seem so hazy Did lovers really fall in love to stay And stand beside each other, come what may? Was a promise really...

I am fighting very very hard to stay upbeat and positive but I feel like my reserves are wearing down. I struggle with anxiety. ALOT and its been a 12 year fight. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. The past couple weeks I lose more than I win. My stomach is burning, my throat is burning, I am...

Picture your typical family holiday gathering. Now picture yourself not holding your tongue the same way your little kids don't. Just saying exactly what you think, no propriety holding your tongue in check. Ahhhh pretty funny on my end.

A bit frustrated. I have been kicking butt and taking names as late. Seriously. Working pretty fast toward uber organized and I got a schedule that just will not quit. Well yesterday a teacher said maybe my daughter said she should lay out of a dance performance because I "look like I have too...

ok, in looking back I keep getting control of anxiety attacks which started with my first child. I am doing well, I get brochitis or poison oak or something and they give me this pack of pills. Starts with like 7 pills and over the next 7 days works down to 1 pill. It might be prenisone mixed...

Dangit guys I am looking at school and activity schedules and I don't know how I am ever going to make it all work. First off my husbands schedule changed without warning so my normal schedule is messed up. He essentially will be gone all day every day but I do get see him while we sleep. In one...

Ok, well I have a dutch lop bunny that is pretty limp. It seems to have something going on one side. Not sure how to or if its possible to pull one through this. The heat has been wicked. It stays in the shade, has water, its been a bit off its feed with the heat but likes juicy fruit or...
