Omg no

Tina is limping and having egg problems to. I pray Eli will be okay. I'm working hard to help Tina

@RoyalChick

The phosphorous calcium as well as magnesium is in milk thistle, I have milk thistle here. She's had a tiny bit of mushroom kiwi courgette banana and cucumber. She's a good girl because I said go too bed and that's exactly where she is right now

We are blessed that they are nearby and will treat all of our animals. We get odd looks from other customers when we take our chickens but we get good treatment and service.

That's really great

Health update: after speaking with my doctor Friday. The increased dose of BP medication, has already lowered my blood pressure. So I’m at average 138 over 78 with some increases, but no spikes or drops whenever I test (four times a day) I miss the taste of salt and frozen dinners, but whatever!
But enough about me. What do you guys think of me?
By the way, I will be taking a trip very soon to CO.

So glad you are progressing. Please don't overdo it - don't want you to set yourself back!

Is that a macramé plant hanger that the cabbage is in? That is a pretty cool idea. Does it work with smaller items, too, such as an apple?

Foot is pretty sore and stiff today. So need to elevate and stretch more today. But overall it is ok.
I got the food hanger in with the toys I bought on Amazon. It isn’t really macrame, just knotted rope, but a macrame hanger is a good idea. Smallest thing I have tried so far is 1/4 of a cabbage head. Here is a zoomed in pic from Amazon.

Well, can you get some fertile eggs to put under her? she will do all the hard work of incubating and brooding.......???? Just get 1/2 dozen eggs, if shipped, probably only 3 will hatch - which is a good amount, not too much, but they have 'siblings' to grow up with.

Or you can sell the chicks when they get of age so you don’t have too many or extra work.

I just can’t manage it this year. I am just now able to get around a little better, and my DH is having rotator cuff surgery in less than two weeks. This makes it really difficult to even think about setting up an area for her to brood and raise chicks. Not to mention I still don’t have a secure outdoor area for them, and supervised time out is difficult. This is something we are discussing making improvements, but it has to wait until he is fully recovered from his surgery which will be at least 3-6 months. Not to mention he will only be getting about 40% pay until he can work again. It just isn’t in the cards this year.

May your recovery continue smoothly, and his surgery/recovery be uncomplicated.

Everyone is different of course - but to provide a ray of hope, my close friend had rotator cuff surgery last year. He is in his mid 70s and it didn’t take anything like 6 months for full recovery.
He was obsessive about doing his post op exercises of course.
Hope all goes well.
