Well, if they don't make it, I've done my best. It's probably beyond my control. By pulling Ivy back from the brink again, I'm not curing her, just postponing the inevitable.

I appreciate your moral support, all of you. Just hate feeling helpless!

Oh Lordy! *heavy sigh* Not again.

Poor little Ivy. She's such a sweet little thing. And from all of your stories of her Cyn, I feel as though I know her personally. Of course I'm praying for her. If any sick little girl had a chance, it would be Ivy under your watchful and caring eyes.

Come on Ivy!! You can do it sweetie!

Hang in there Cyn and please, do keep us posted on her condition. She's just gotta make it. I'm hoping for eggs from her and that gorgeous man Dutch!

CYnthia,

So sorry - Keep up the good fight. You are the bestest Chicken Momma.

Thanks, Ed. How's Meg, Jr?

 

[ThreeBoysChicks]

Meg Jr. is beautiful. I need to get a new picture.

My Barred Rocks are doing great. I hatched 3 BR chicks back at Thanksgiving (2 Girls and 1 Boy). I have 3 Barred Easter Eggers and 3 Barred Rock eggs in my Incubator. They are both laying really nice size eggs.

One of the pullets was really tricky. I thought for sure she was a female. She is lighter in color, but she is definately a pullet.

Oh Cyn, so sorry to hear this. These reproductive problems are so brutal. I hope the best for Ivy, one more time.

 

[speckledhen]

Thank you. I wonder how many more times we can pull her back, ya know? When holding her today for her shot, I noticed that her color is gorgeous, her plumage shiny and she just looks so healthy. I think that if she wasn't a very healthy hen, overall, with a strong immune system, she wouldn't be with me now.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed Cyn.

 

[speckledhen]

Appreciate it, Kat.
