[Ribh]

Aw, Ribh. When is this happening? You will be in good hands and I’m sure you will handle it just fine. I will be thinking if you!!

And yes, they did chuck the marigolds out while they were at it.

Wednesday, Michelle. So far the hospital staff have been pretty nice & quite understanding. Unfortunately there is a rinse & repeat in 3 weeks time ~ & I figure that will be worse because then I will know how bad it gets.

There is no price equivalent to loss of a beloved pet. A beloved pet is priceless. There can be no true recompense.

This true, and i hope that they give a good apology and recognize that even a chicken can be a valuable pet, a member of one’s family.

Remember to take any pain meds and to give yourself time to rest. I will be thinking of you.

Good morning all, Mr Pompei has awakened (he likely heard my alarm going off at 5am), and has been crowing.

Marty looking all cute

I didn’t bother planting anything at the barn this year… after last year when they destroyed my tomato plants and flowers….

And I spoke to soon, Rosie just shouted at me, Granny just had a quick seizure and passed.

Oh no Rebecca that is so awful. And I can’t even find words about Ezzie.

Mr Pompei is not learning to roost in the hen house, he is following Misty’s lead and flying up on the door top. So I have 2 chickens to move off the door top, Whiskers to move from the shavings into the hen house and Marty to remove from the window.

Bed time drama….

After the moves, not sure what Marty is doing? Is she wanting to jump down??

Could you fix a roost bar up at the height of the top of the door for them? Or are you worried about injury on the way down?

This is just the icing on the cake for a very crappy and stressful few days. I received a phone call about 9 friday night. My biological father who while I do not have the closest relationship with I try to see at least once a month and talk to at least once a week was hospitalized Wednesday with suspected pneumonia. He took a turn for the worse, unresponsive and was transferred out to a different hospital and they were calling the family in. They think he's had a stroke but is not stable enough for a MRI to confirm even though 2 ct scans say otherwise. I had to confirm this afternoon that he does not want life support and officially sign the DNR over the phone. He is not expected to make it through the night, but due to strict covid and ICU policies I am not allowed there until 8 am in the morning.

Oh Rebecca. What a lot to handle in a few days. I know there is nothing any of us can say or do, but we are all here for you.

Ash is turning into a bowling ball.

I'll need to get a FB picture. It's a pretty wide load.

And it looks like Storm will be our first to lay. I think she's getting close.

What kind of chicken is Ash? She is pretty!
