Feeling discouraged-words of wisdom?

[BantyChooks]

"Feeling discouraged"-That's me. I've been raising birds for 41 years. I still make many mistakes. The biggest mistake lately was going to a poultry auction... I've lost many birds to diseases that I never had before. Three years of fighting the problem and my birds are now free of disease....but so many lost.

Now it's me fighting disease. At 65 I recently had a stroke and pneumonia. A week in the hospital and I'm now home. A home in the country-no close neighbor-no car-no phone-no money and often alone. The possibility of another stroke or pneumonia is likely. Now what?

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.

Glad to hear your birds are doing well, and saddened by the news of your recent turn of events. Seems like you have had to exercise relentless patience and love for your chickens over the years...perhaps turning that kind of kindness and compassion towards yourself May you be well!
