WELL ...Sweet .. Budgie my comet passed ..she was almost 4 years ...Really Old for a Comet.
Most places say they live 2 years


She was so weak she couldnt stand up on Saturday ..
I tried to ease her passing by giving her some whiskey .Sat night .and held her & pet her
She would NOT budge ...it just made her sleepy ..she fought death..
Every time I thought she would pass ..she didnt ...she would catch her breath ..she had a strong heart
she would hear a sound in the room and she would open her eyes & look at me
at 4 am I decided she wasnt going to pass so I finally went to bed ..She slept in a box next to my bed
I called the vet on Sunday ..to see if I could get something to put her to sleep
he was closed ....the message said go to emergency in Syracuse .
Im thinking of seeing if I can get something to have on hand to easily put them to sleep .
I held her on sunday for 3- 4 hours
Budgie finally died late sunday afternoon ..when I was out taking care of the flock

I'm so sorry. They get into our hearts and it is hard to see them suffer at all. I have 2 of my original birds left and this morning, Red looks like she was moving slower then normal. She is a sexlink that I got from TSC. Before I got sick I moved some of the big kids into the empty turkey hoop coop, but I left her with the littler ones so she didn't have to much competition...That and the littler boys don't bother her like the 2 big boys did.

Pyxis - Hope your babies make it to you safe and sound!

Sorry Gramma

On the chick front, they made it to the local sort facility at 6:30 this morning! I expect I'll get a call to go get them at the post office a town over (since my local one closes at noon) sometime this afternoon. Fingers crossed!

Good week for the shipping with all this mild stuff!

Gave me some more time to work on my yard set up! Tomorrow it is supposed to be almost high 50's.
