~sigh~ crazy night here

Got home from work, checked on my broody and chicks first thing. They were all safe and sound, no more escapees. Yay.

However, came inside and started dinner prep when I realized one of my cats wasn't in his usual spot. My daughter and I started looking for him and finally found him curled up hiding in a corner. Called my vet - she met us at the clinic and had to do emergency surgery to keep his bladder from rupturing. Ugh. His 3rd surgery this summer. He's out of surgery now but will stay in ICU a couple days.

Came back home, could not get chickens to come out of trees and off top of coop so they are just out for the night.

@Sally Sunshine I don't have a pictute before, but prior to the dry treatment it looked perfectly normal. Like I said till I went to milk her when I pulled her kid it looked even and fine, but it did not feel normal. Here is the damaged udder, and the blow out in the front. When it started enlarging after the treatment it should have been dealt with, but I was told to treat it and leave it. I did not know it was going wrong till it was really wrong because the case of mastitis I had seen before was larger than the others and remained so till a new kid.



@kwhites634 Your build looks great.

GRAPHIC PHOTOS BELOW (sorry, I couldn't figure out the spoiler alert thing)


Disaster struck today. Two of my welbar pullets managed to get into the turkey pen. I found the gap under the fence and fixed it. Both girls are ok at the moment. They must've been running from the turkeys and got themselves wedged between a tree and the chicken wire. The turkeys couldn't get them there but they were pinned and the rest of the chicken flock must've started picking at them. The one was lucky and only has the tip of her one wing chewed up. Not too bad either. THIS one though, I thought she was dead when I found her. She must've wiggled her head through the chicken wire, trying to get out, which made it a target. She was dripping blood all down her face when I found her and was limp, like she'd given up completely. I even saw her get pecked and she didn't even move. I didn't get a picture of her before I treated her but it was horrific. Her skin is completely ripped from the top of her head, the whole way down the back of her neck and the muscle was even missing a couple chunks. She was picked completely bald and the skin on the right side of her head was pulled forward towards her face, exposing her ear and part of her eye. I cleaned her up the best I could and made some makeshift stitches with a needle and heavy thread. It took 6 of them to pull the skin together down the back of her neck. Her left eye is still good and she'll open it and look around but she's sleeping a lot and not moving much. I know she can though because I took her outside to bluekote her head and an escaped turkey came over to see what was up. She went into a panic trying to escape. Her right eye concerns me. Though it doesn't look like there's any damage to the eye itself, The muscles to open and close her eyelid are most likely torn and ruined. Right now, her eyelid on that side looks stretched back a little since I had to pull her skin back some to connect it with the stitches. I'm using an eyedropper to slowly give her vitamin water. Everyone, please wish me luck with her recovery. She's going to need it.

The first 5 pictures were right after I cleaned her up and stitched her together. The last couple were a couple hours later, after some bluekote and rest.

I have 2 cemani chicks out at day 20. The rest are driving me crazy. I can't see any pips, but I don't want to open the incubator and mess up the humidity. Hatching is fun, but stressful!

Ok, happy news and sad news... out of The 2 eggs that were hatching, 1 made it (although it did pop out with Some of the yolk still unabsorbed but it's absorbed now) the other one that didn't make it was turned wrong in the shell and we didn't know it. But not all is lost, since the baby was fully developed, and healthy other than the angle we decided to instead of just throwing it out, to feed it to our snake. The circle of life continues and all the creatures live in harmony.

If you get bored will you PM me a picture of your recipe?
I need to do laundry, but first I have to pull it out and figure out why it is leaking. I wish I had some idea what I am doing when it comes to that. Oh well, another weekend project to go with finishing adding field fence over my five wire so that I can use the front pen as a second breeding pen for my meat goats.

So not much, huh?

I was looking for something in my phone notes, and I came across the list of things I used to cook in the truck using the Stove to Go.

I used to make stuffed roast beef in gravy. I have not had it in over 18 months.

Since you do day trips, you can make it all so much easier at home. Buy roast beef sliced thick at the deli. Get some Swiss cheese slices too (or Provolone) Use your favorite stuffing (Pork Stovetop) Lay the cheese down, add the stuffing. Roll up, and put it in the pan. If you have one of the new STG, wrap it in foil. Unless they finally sell the right foil pans now. Who wants to wash that metal thing in a truck stop? Morons. What were they thinking when... LOL. You know truckers have it hard.
Anyway! Use a toothpick if it makes it easier for you. Add the beef gravy, and drool for a while as it heats up. Try not to swerve as the smell hits your nostrils.
