Fuzzy's Farm

I will never get SLW from the hatchery again. The last one I have now looks to have saggy belly... She's standing with her legs spread, kinda walking like she's aching, her belly is squishy but hanging low. How the heck do I end up with two SLW's with this? Only she is worse than her sister was. She was also out all night long. I didn't notice cuz my flood light burnt out, so I had hardly any light when I closed up the coop last night. I just checked that there were not any extra critters in the coops. Anyway, she was out all night, on the ground under a chair on the side of the house and nothing got her. WOW, but it was so wet out this morning. Oh, EYP is what I am talking about... This is just nuts. She just started laying also... Going to give her antibiotics and see if we can't pull her thru. Maybe with the winter coming, she' won't lay and maybe she'll heal up from this. But internal laying is not a good thing, especially starting so young. Veena wasn't even a year old when she had started doing it and had to be put down. I want to say a bad word... but I can't.
 
Well, I went to lock up tonight, took the flashlight with me, and she wasn't in the coop. I then had to search all the usualy places in the rain, and I finally found her up against the house, soaking wet. I brought her to the garage, put her under the heat lamp. I think I might have to just cull her in the morning. I can't believe this! Both my beautiful SLWs for the same thing. When I set her in the broody coop, she flung both of her wings out because she can't stand. Her abdomen is so soft and squishy...

I'm so sorry. That's just a terrible thing to go through.
 
Speaking of jobs... My sister started at Big Apple Bagel. She told me they are super flexible on hours with moms. SO! I am going to bite the bullet, fix my hair, put on make up and nice clothes and go. She said not to tell them we are related though. So I won't. BUT she said that they'd be more than happy to work with me for just Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 9am-3pm. This way, I have no problems getting Jace to school and then it is just a straight shot down the road back to town and to work. Both school and BAP are on 120th! SO, cross your fingers that I can get this job. I really need to get a new car, and this is not going to happen if I don't have more income. This is going to kill my foot, but I will get the inserts and deal with it.

Oh, and HI! Everyone!
