What did your boss think of poop on the carpet?

Ruby Update

Ruby saw the avian vet today. She’s still there now. She was a bit distraught at being handled, so they administered Valium. They drained over 100cc of fluid, and gave her a new hormone implant plus metacam. We’re throwing everything at her, so we’ll do a round of antibiotics, as well.

The vet mentioned disease progression and indicated it’s almost always cancer or reproductive infection that kills them. She finds it interesting that this has gone on so long, and said we can “piece her together the best we can.”

We’ve kept her going with treatment for over two years. At some point, I’ll need to have her euthanized, like I’ve said before. Poor girl. This might be her last hurrah, but I’ve said that before.

Might've been what ended up happening

Which is why you don’t get tattoos on a whim; the pain of getting them then laser removal when you don’t like them anymore!

What do you do for a crust, Red?

Help pharmaceutical, bio techs and start ups with their tissue based (i.e. tumor biopsies) drug development programs. AKA sales

None of them have ever been a whim. It was just not holding up well after pregnancies.
All prettied up with touch up work after the laser lightened it.

Good to hear. I just realised my post might have come across as a bit lecturing; it wasn’t intended that way at all. I have an ex-SIL who got tats on a whim and then ended up hating them. I’ve only got one and it’s very personal to me.

Not at all! It takes quite a bit more to offend me
I do buy shoes on a whim tho...

Now! Back to chickens!
Today the babies informed me they are not interested in eating leeks.

Bob, can you share the details? I’d like to start doing my own, too.

Bob should do a Master Class!!
