➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

Sorry, should have said thanks TEXAS laws. It is legal in quite a few states to drink with spousal consent if your spouse is over 21, including Texas and Wyoming. In most other states it is legal to drink with a parent’s permission or in the privacy of your own home.
Here’s a handy list, but always double check, wouldn’t want to get anyone in trouble. :) https://www.alcoholproblemsandsolutions.org/under-age-drinking-laws-legal-in-most-states-in-us/
And go to the doctor, now!!!!
 
Soooo I went to check on the chickens this morning and under and around the roost and in coop corners there are little piles of brown dust which are actually all dead mites that came out of the cracks last night! Eeeewwwww! I'm glad they are now dead but I feel so bad for the girls. It must have been millions upon millions of mites I've killed and removed from the coop over the weekend. I have no idea how long the problem has been going on and I feel terrible I didn't catch it sooner.
The important point is that you DID identify the problem and kill all the bugs. You did good. You are a good chicken momma :hugs

Thanks! I try. I think we have all been there. I was beyond devastated and frustrated when I lost my first chicken to illness about a year ago, I felt it was all my fault, I'd messed up, I didn't care for them well enough, but the fact is that we do our best with the knowledge we have and the tools at our disposal and hopefully, most of the time, our best is enough to keep them happy and healthy and give them a good life.
 
I have an appointment for 2:30.. not particularly happy about that.
The swollen area is much “firmer” this morning, a little more red, and it hurts like the dickens. Looks pretty much the same though.
 
How high is your fever and how fast is it rising?
Well, we don’t actually have a working thermometer in the house. Oops.
Last night I was sweating, shivering, and started having muscle cramps. The Ginger wanted to go to urgent care but I just wanted to sleep. :confused: I’m much better now though!
Thanks for reminding me to get a thermometer haha. I have a feeling the silly doctor is gonna just give me a steroid shot and send me on my way.
