Thank you MJ. I am honestly not expecting Minnie to survive the night.
I managed to get a half a ml of fluid into her (electrolytes and sugar). That is all she tolerated. I hope it at least made her tongue feel less dry.
I can't get my mind around how fast she went down hill - she isn't a high production breed and she is young. It is just so, so sad.

Even if she doesn't make it, it would be good to know why she's sick in case it's something you can avoid in the others.

Do you think she has flu? I have heard tales of how fast they get ill.

I didn't think of that - I need to look up the symptoms.
I would think we are pretty low risk for that but you never know.

Or goats, I'll send my chickens they will pull your grass out by the roots

I let my gals run free this afternoon, digging in the leaves.... Eating heaven know what hahaha.

They like grass but prefer bugs they dig up - yummy

Oh Lord.
The Hooligans barely stray from their cardboard box all day but now it is bedtime they have all managed to find their way up to the penthouse level. The door is shut so they are sitting outside bleating.
Poor Minnie just wants to sleep.
I have no idea how Bernadette got up there!

I hate doing the grass, going in circles for a couple hrs.... Makes my back ache and get all smelling of gas - Yuck!

Need sheep!

You could always go with a motorless lawn mower...pause to sharpen the blades.....or an old-fashioned scythe....

Believe it or not, now they are hammering on the door!

So open it & let them roost with the big girls.
