Sorry I have been out of touch. My hubby ended up in the hospital this entire time and only just came home. Myself and a home health nurse are nursing him back to health. He is on IV meds 4 times a day through a PICC line to his heart. He is having terrible withdrawals from all the narcotics he was on in the hospital before the surgery We also discovered he has cancer so this is just the first battle of many.

In the meantime I have been losing 1 or 2 chicks per day to the "plague" as they slowly starve to death if they don't fight it off. A few have survived it. The gurgling hen is still hanging in there. Meanwhile my dogs have started a killing spree killing the strongest, healthiest and most valuable of all my chickens. I now have many breeds which I can no longer breed at all even if everything turns out to be okay as far as the type of disease. From my initial count of around 150 chickens we are now down to 84 outside and around 20 inside. I found new homes and had to give away our dogs - both because of the killing spree and the fact that will be having serious financial issues now. I had to give up on the A & M labs as I couldn't afford any more shipping or tests right now and frankly don't have the mental capacity to deal with this right now on top of everything else. The strong will survive.

I am so sorry to hear that. I really hoped things would get better for you now. Hang in there and remember we're here if you want to vent or cry, o.k?

I should be back in the hatching business nest week. LOL I put 4 hens and a cockerel Leghorn in an area for breeding. I was told to wait 1 week before gathering eggs when you first put them together. So Tuesday I will start collecting eggs again. LOL.

Went to a Bantam Show yesterday. Have one of the judges coming over this morning to look at my LF Heritage Reds and Delawares to help pick the breeding girls for this year. YAY!!

Trying to figure out the cheapest way to build 3 or 4 breeding houses. Have 8x8 areas fenced off but need houses for 4-5 birds.

I'll figure it out sooner or later. Still have a few months.

Do any of you ship chicks? Or just eggs... I need some chicks..without waiting # weeks for them to hatch.
