Good morning Café!

Today it is my turn and the coffee pot is already steaming, just waiting for you. Have a nice cup to start your day:

Good morning Cafe.
Thanks for the steaming coffee @LaFleche ; most welcome
It is drizzling today, misty/low cloud, everything is still, and definitely a day to stay indoors.

Thanks for the coffee Fleche! Up early, laid awake late again. I'm gonna need a boost! ♥

Good morning Cafe. Thanks for the coffee LaFleche.
I've got a garage full of building materials and half of the shingles are in the back of the truck. I can only haul 15 bundles at a time and that's pushing it as they weigh over 1,000 pounds and the truck is only rated for a half ton.
Work starts in less than an hour...

Sorry about your little girl, Cindy.

Good morning, Cafe'. Foggy here - both brain and outdoors - need coffee.

I lost Goofy girl tonight. She was fine when I went in to lay down around 10.. heard a ruckus in the brooder room so I went to see what was up, and there she was on her back, eyes open, but not moving... Last pic from yesterday's outting in the yard.

I am sorry you lost her!

I know.... Still make me sad.. If it was mereks then I wonder why all of the other 10 brooder mates are strong and healthy. But, from what I can find on the internet, the wing fluttering just before death would indicate a heart attack.

It is a common occurrence on BYC to blame mareks for any death or illness. In most cases, the initial mareks infection does not make them sick. The claim is that most chickens get mareks since it is so widespread.

Usually there is a cancer that happens at around age two for less than 5% of chickens.

Like Penney said, it was likely a cardiovascular thing

I'm thinking the same as you... Wing flutter, laying on back... loss of consciousness, gone. This is the same lil gal I found laying on the ground in the hoop coop a few weeks back, cold and covered with ants.. Brought her in, warmed her next to my body by holding her, then kept her indoors with a daily outing when she had regained her senses.. She would pop up and run and flap her wings, then lay down again.. She had free range of the brooder room, and was walking straighter and taller the last few days so I had hope.
