So sorry I feel your pain. My father just died after months of a unknown sickness.

Thank you! I lost my dad about 12 years ago to stomach cancer.

LOL, I have her beat hands down.

Let's see

128 less than 4 weeks old

26 less than 8 weeks old
48 layers and roo's
a hatch that is ongoing that I have taken out 6 so far out of the 18 that made it to lockdown

and 5 under a broody that should hatch in the next day or so

and a hatch of shipped eggs next week, but I only expect 2 to make it to lockdown out of 24 sadly.

I have 10 chickens, nods head in affirmative

Wow! That is a lot! Right now we have 27 full grow hens, 2 full grown roos, 2 6 week old pullets and about 50 eggs under my 5 broody hens ( just broke 2 ). @ full grown turkeys 2 6 week old poults and 8 1 week old poults under mama turkey. That is all my fowl....for now.

Maybe you need some more?

My whole backyard would probably have coops and chicken's in all of them if my DH would let me. Maybe some day. His kidney's are going bad on him, and there's no way to reverse that. His Dr. said that all they can do is try to maintain it the best they can.

We had a friend who passed just last year from kidney disease. He was on dialysis for years, rode his motorcycle all over. He made appointments for his treatments when he visited us.

I had a friend who passed from kidney disease. Only lasted about 6 months after the diagnosis. And a friend's mother lived for years on dialysis after diagnosis. You never know.

My dad was given 3-6 months to live (cancer) and lasted closer to 4 years before he passed.

My dad had gone to the VA and they never told him that he had the cancer. He kept telling them that he had pain's in his stomach. They told him to go see an eye doctor, so go figure that one out. Then he started spitting up blood and thought that he might have an ulcer. When he finally decided to go to the emergency room and those people were able to tell him what it really was, stomach canser. I will never suggest to anyone to go to the VA for anything.

I hear you. I had a good friend who knew his blood pressure was out of control. He tried to get in to the VA hospital, but they said they couldn't take him. This was before all those goings-on at the VA hospitals in AZ were exposed and made the news. So he laid down hoping rest would help, and he died.

Loosing a loved one like that is never easy, and it takes time to heal from that pain. You just have to pick up the pieces of your own life, and keep all of those fond memories that you have.

He wasn't a boyfriend or anything, but he was a great guy who lived next door and was sort of like an older brother to me. We talked a lot. And I'll be here if you need to talk. It's hard going through the process.
