Kristen’s Chickens and Farming Ventures

[Kris5902]

Thanks everyone, I feel like I’ve been quite the bad news bear for a bit... and though it’s really disheartening to have them passing away, there’s really not much I can do for some of them. @BY Bob I reckon you hit the nail on the head with the Sapinglitis call. I think I’ve found the chicken who was laying the lash eggs (though I only found two small ones, it is possible there were more that were eaten ) I will make her as comfortable as I can and if she seems to be suffering too greatly then I will hasten her end as mercifully as possible. She has looked on and off less than vibrant the last few months, which I was attributing to her molting, and has taken a
Steep decline the last week or two. She is only 3 years old. She is also one of the girls with the worst underbite. She will feast on eggs and tuna, chick starter mash, and as many mealy worms as I can give her until her time comes.

Today was a fairly good day overall, after chicken chores we went to the other side of the island and I got some gardening done, my water jugs filled, and all set for Andrew to leave for work until Wednesday or Thursday. I’ve made up our Sausage and Chicken take out menus, and we will be all set for deliveries on Thursday, as Andrew will be working on Friday and Saturday as well here.

That is a lovely way to give her palliative care Kris. You are a very compassionate and empathetic person

I'm sorry @Kris5902 . She will be comfortable with you. It is sad she is so young. Try to stay positive.

Good morning @Kris5902. I hope all is well.

Good morning @Kris5902. I hope all is well.

Good morning Sarah! Things here are just sort of in a holding pattern waiting on FIL’s health situation for the house. The Meat Chickens are all doing well, my Layers are being super productive, and I’ve started “fostering out” chickens at a friends place to stay under the “Limit” for the farms insurance policy all in all things are going quite well. I have a brochure we did up for the eggs, sausage and chicken business, which I’m delivering to our local gas station/bicycle rental store.

That looks great Kris and as I have not managed to get anything to eat yet today is also making me feel incredibly hungry!

@Kris5902 The brochure look's good, and I hope that it help's to bring you more business. Anything new going on with the house build?

Too bad you don't deliver
