Thanks aart. I have a divider I can put in there and just keep the food and water separated from the bedding area. I like your box idea too.

That was duluth ralphies idea.


Putting feeder up on bricks or blocks of wood can alleviate the scratching.
I made these:

Chickies are looking better overall this morning. After lots of reading on BYC last night I gave a little sugar water and that perked them up a lot. Once they drank, they ate and ate and ate and looked better.

Still acting chilly this morning, but not wanting to go in MHP. Keeping a close eye but I feel SO much better knowing they are eating and drinking.

Oops sorry Ralphie Appreciate the reply. And Aart, hey I like that little feeder too.

Totally off topic but it's my thread and I can hijack it if I want to! I'm posting this in as many places as I can to get a prayer chain started for Kendra! Thanks!

The kids just left for Denver this morning. I've got Katie and Evan for the next week. Kendra will be having her 6 month regular Spina Bifida clinic, then she has appointments for Autism screening. That's more a formality - we already know she's on the autisim spectrum so nothing they say will really surprise us.

Then for the first time they'll be meeting with the surgical team about her Ace/Mitrofanoff procedure. They'll do a more in-depth series of exams than just her usual ultrasounds and MRI, and make the final determination about her candidacy and possible surgical date. Jenny and I will end up down in Denver when they do it, and we'll likely be down there for about a month - not looking forward to that but we've done it before, we can do it again. I just hope this works to help give Kendra a more normal life. This is a short thing about the process and the prognosis. From what I understand, when it works it works great, when it doesn't it's a disaster.

So asking for prayers for a safe journey both there and back, and good results for Kendra! Thanks!

Thanks guys! She's 4 years old, and she was born with Spina Bifida. She's an absolutely joy, and Gramma's heart!

Ended up with a dirty face but she was an awesome flower girl for our oldest granddaughter's wedding!


Here she is at her first dance recital.


And carrying eggs in from the coop for Gramma!
