MJ's little flock

I've heard over a phone call that Dr Mark pulled a lot of EYP infection gunk out of Joyce. He wants a chat when I pick her up (in a couple of hours time) and he wants to see her again in a week.

I hope you are not feeling too anxious with the waiting, I know I would. Let us know what he says and how she is .

Right now, I'm mainly worried about getting home again in time to feed the other hens.

Well, we all know that is a most important matter for hens indeed ! Drive safe.

Spare a thought for Joycey who's having her exploratory laparotomy this very moment.

She wanted to make sure everybody could see her wattles ok.

She is a beautiful lady

Ugh. My PA couldn't be more uninterested in her work, illiterate, and lazy. She's literally sitting on a pile of work.

It is hard to find good help. Sometimes they even nap at work, right in front of you!

Joyce and Christa are just back from Joyce's follow up and it's not great news. Her poops have reverted to quite thin since Monday and when Mark felt her abdomen he said she hadn't improved much.

So we're trying surgery on Monday. It's a bit of a long shot, but I'd rather go for it than opt for euthanasia. There's a chance it might work out for the better, so she might as well have a go at it.

Yes, that's it. It's only partially completed. It's been a disappointing project. Two steps forward, one back.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It's not as easy as people would think.
