Flock/Life Journey's 2019

Flock Update:

Went out to feed the chickies this morning... and as I'm coming inside a strangled hoarse crow is sounded. It scared everyone! the babies and the other big ones. I thought the neighbors rooster got in last night. NOPE! Can you guess who it was?

Kethcup! I had a feeling about that one anyways...but now have comformation. So had to message the lady coming this weekend to let her know. Once I hear back I'll see if i need to Post "him" again.

She may still want him lovely. But your suspicions were true which is good knowledge for your next lot of babies.

I have a hen who crows occasionally. Sounds like nothing on earth. scares everyone because we definitely don't have a rooster!

I’m pretty sure my Silkie started crowing... if you want to call it that! It sure sounds crazy and it’s kind of a half crow.. but now I know what everyone is talking about when they say they have a hen that crows

Do you see any extra feathers in the yard?

No. No feathers anywhere. I think its the change of weather and the days being shorter. Its cold as in the morning and afternoon then the day is really hot or if it starts to get windy its cold again then back to hot so I think its messing with them too.

Back from vets!
Vet got her to vomit everything up. Vet said it was rancid and full of bacteria, stones and straw.
They gave us baytril to give to her for a week.
The vet said that we had already cleared a good bit of it by giving her coconut oil and massaging it.
Happy that she didn’t need surgery.

We brought her to a different vet this time. Last one didn’t know what was wrong with her.

Great news love and great work on helping her yourself. You did an amazing job. Keep us updated on how she goes.

I have 3 still laying. The Brs are doing better now it's cooled off but I am only getting 1 or 2 eggs a day ~ sometimes none~ instead of the 3 or 4 I was getting.

That's good that she's going to be okay.

Flock Update: My Lottie is one of the new girls. She's only the size of a tea cup & really sweet. She has been holding her own amongst the big girls but right @ the bottom of the pecking order. I have been keeping an eye on her just because she's super sweet & tiny but found she was sleeping alone when they went to roost. I have been snuggling her in with my Frizzle, Lavender, [also low on the totem pole] because it is starting to get colder @ night & I didn't want her to get in the habit of sleeping alone & the big girls thinking that was ok . When I went to check on them last night, because Lavender is a bit of a clutz & has trouble getting on a roost with all her fluff amongst the jostling, I found everyone had roosted but Lottie was snuggled up with Lavender already & Soda, one of my original BRs, had her other side. I think my flock is starting to settle.

It can get confusing. I'm practicing on you and Krystal because they keep telling me at work that they're going to start including me on the conference calls with our folks in AUS. In my youth, I was extraordinarily good with time zones, but as I've grown older and also spent 20 years in DC I find it slipping away. What can really mess you up is leaving AUS and landing in the US the day before you left.

When Jordan went to America we were video calling at stupid hours or the day and night it was so hard. But lucky it was only 7 days.

Doing great! How about you?

Im good love. Just at work. No Customers at the moment and all my paperwork is all done.
