See...she has officially lost her mind.

Ask your nurse if they can help her.
She can take a road trip in her new car and come hang out with you.

Why? I’m going to have a totally empty coop once I finish this new one.

You can't keep all those boys... Your girls will get beat up

I know that. I meant temporarily. Or integrate some of them. Like the girls and one boy.

Be careful mingling them all at once. It can stress your girls out and they'll stop laying.

What!? They aren’t scheduled to hatch until mid April. The coop will be done well before that and the other one will just be empty.

@Tesumph have we heard from you today?!

Thanks, I’ll watch out for that. I don’t think I’m going to put them all in the same coop but idk. I actually was originally thinking of moving the big girls to the new coop and the chicks to the old coop and giving them a bachelor pad but now idk. I guess I should probably cancel the order or at least maybe part of it so I can just put the rest in with the main flock in one coop.

I did let them mingle some today free ranging and it went okay. They all seemed scared of each other and took turns running from each other lol but there were a few skirmishes. One of the cockerels in particular loves challenging the big girls. A couple others tried and got their butts handed to them and didn’t try again. This one seems to have a death wish.

Not only do I have pneumonia but I have sepsis. I am flipping. They have me on this and its making me sick. They're going to draw blood again tonight to see if this antibiotic helped.

I have to have that stuff each time they go for iv antibios becuz of my severe allergy to all pennicilian based meds. That really sucks man. It kept thinning down my veins and blowing them out. They ended up putting a central line in my jugular because apparently i also have weird extra valves in my veins

I have a Hickman line in my chest and they think that's how I got my blood infection. I've had one for 10 years and I've never had an infection.

I changed my mind. Definitely gonna cancel the order now and maybe sell off a bunch of other birds too. Bad idea to get more right now. Trying to move out ASAP especially now haha and can’t leave my parents to take care of like 20 birds aha
