Okay so watching the tracking of my incubator is the worst thing.
It sat for a whole day with no movement in some sorting facility in California! Like what the hell! At this rate my eggs (which get mailed on Monday) will get here before the incubator will!

Gosh…my last week or so has been so brutal. I am done.

My chicks in my dining room have coccidiosis. And it is all my fault. Right about when I got the news that we have MG, they started looking a little droopy. So I thought…oh, with me not being careful enough washing my hands, they have it too. I decided to let it run its course because it isn’t fatal.

But yesterday morning, one had died. I was like: ***??? I thought this wasn’t fatal!!!???!!! (still no one sneezing, but I honestly didn’t put 2&2 together.) Then last night another one died and I saw the blood in the stool and FREAKED OUT. I knew they were crowded, but been frantically building the new coop for them and figured they could hold on just a bit longer. I was wrong.

So we threw together another bigger brooder box out of plywood, put the really droopy ones into a separate tub (forced them to drink the medicated water) and started cleaning everything. Feeders, waterers, the floor….everything. And made up a bunch of gallons of water with corrid, sav-a-chick and oxine to give them for the next week. Corrid in the goat’s water, the dog’s water. Everyone is getting treated. Thinking about treating myself. Lost another one this morning. And a couple are not looking good. I wish I had had them on medicated feed…I really do. I have been putting ACV in their water, but evidently it isn’t enough.

On top of everything happening with the chickens, there’s the whole family stuff, too. My Grandma died on Wednesday but because my Mom is in Germany visiting my Sister…a vacation she has saved up for for a year, it was decided to wait until she comes home to tell her. Well, I was volunteered to be the one to pick her up from the airport on Sunday and I have no idea how to break the news to her. Grandma died from Altzhimers…so we have honestly lost her years ago, but still. It’s her mom, the matriarch of the family and a wonderful supportive person gone for good.

My husband asks me on the way in to work today: “what’s wrong?” Because I was staring off into space. He’s lucky I didn’t go into hysterics right there.
I am so sorry. This has been a terrible couple of weeks for you. Let me know if you need a shoulder for some sympathy. Everyone on here has been so good to me, I need to pay it forward big time.

DM, Fantastic news on your dad.
 
I did a side swap with scoutmedic last month, please clear him for that.

Might be hard to clear him for CPL, she hasn't been on :shrug
