I just saw you that you joined this year!!

Yes, this is my first time having chickens and I've only had them for these eleven months.

I thought you've been on here longer!! You are such wonderful friends for only being one here for such a short time!

You're such a great friend! I can't express how grateful I am for you and your prayers. Thank you a million times over.

How are your birds this morning?

How are your birds this morning?

They all made it through the night!!! All of them were moving around and had opened their eyes.
Sadie pooped twice.
Elsie pooped twice.
Maisie pooped once.
Alek pooped a lot of little times (He was definitely doing the worst last night. I was really scared about him.)

I am scrambling up some eggs for them now with sugar, salt, coconut oil, a dash of molasses, and a pinch of my homegrown oregano (?).
Thank you so much for helping!

They’re looking better!

 

[Elspeth Dinsmore]

They are all drinking! Sadie is even eating! I'm so happy.

Edited to add: I did end up putting the saddle back on Elsie. The poor girl has a bare back and was starting to pick at her own skin while she was sleepy.

 

[tlcmurphy]

Yay!

Wow, you guys have a lot on your plate right now!
Keep up the good work, I'm praying for y'all (chickens included!)

Thank you so much for the prayers! It helps to know so many are out there praying

I just started reading and had to jump to the end (I'm like that sometimes). I'm so glad that your chickens are on the mend.

Awww, so sweet! We are so happy too! We were so worried that they would all die.

They just had another nap, now they are up again, walking around, making happy noises, and drinking a lot again!

I gave them 4 cups warm water with 4 tsp. sugar, 4 pinches salt, 4 pinches baking soda, and some of my mom's homemade electrolyte drink.
