Granny's gone and done it again

[ChirpnBern]

Gonna be another one of Those days.
Robert woke up screaming, wouldnt stay still. Oh God help me, do something , help me. I thought he was hallucinating again. Smacking himself in the head .
I asked him, Is your ear ringing ? NO ! oh God, do something. Finally got out of him , fluttering. Autisic peeps sometimes have extra sensitive hearing. His is very sensitive. I got him down and got a flash light and q-tip. Dared him to move . It was an ant. He just collapsed against me crying and I hugged/held him for a very long time. I think its the first time thats ever happened. Him just laying on my chest like that. Like he was grateful for me and well, you know that feeling. Balling my eyes out again. Im a mess.

OMG that must just be the WORST feeling. Good thing you were able to get it out.

Squirming here just thinking about it.


Hope the rest of your day has been better.

I cant imagine. I suspected it after he said he heard fluttering he said "feel" fluttering.

I have a Polish bantie as a house chicken. Was hatched or bought as a chick from camp where I work in summer. Other obnoxious juvenile was beating her up so I took her off their hands. Obnoxious juvenile grew into obnoxious little rooster that they are trying to rehome. I mentioned options of Freezer Camp, auction over in Tabernacle NJ, and. . . maybe it was only two.

Rats, must go. Oh well.

Happy St. Paddy`s Day, All!

Best wishes with whatever you`re hatching/buying/selling/making/building!

Option #4 Train the dogs to leave the chickens alone, by whatever means necessary

One of Pancake's eggs was dead, never even internally pipped. Yolk was absorbed, though. The fourth one is internally pipped. Not sure why it's so far behind the others. Pancake is itching to get her babies off the nest, but she reluctantly settled back in. Trying to get that baby hatched before I set them up with food and water.


Also the dogs killed a banty rooster. He's in pieces in the yard. Guess I've got to hang it on Jasper's neck, now.

I can't do that. I figure it's my fault. My dogs have a very strong prey drive.

Option #1     Rehome the dog(s)
Option #2     Rehome the chickens
Option #3     Modify fence so chickens and/or dogs can't get under it anywhere.
Option #4     Train the dogs to leave the chickens alone, by whatever means necessary 

We're at #4.

He had an ant in his ear? Whoa that is awful. Poor guy. Glad you were there to help him.
