Well. I had a carp night too. At 3:45am, Thing 1 woke up saying he was all done with his water bottle. I turned his heating pad back on and laid him down. He tossed and turned for another hour (I had his music machine on to try to help him get back to sleep but every time I turned it off he started wiggling again, and I couldn’t sleep with the music playing) when he got up asking for Mommy cuddles. At that point, I decided to bring him to bed. No sooner do I get him settled then he starts puking. Thankfully, it was pretty much all water. We get some towels under him and he is right back to sleep on the pukey pillow. At this point, I notice he has a fever too. So I get a towel between his face and the pillow and let him sleep. I didn’t manage to get back to sleep until 5:30. He woke me up at 6:45 saying he had a boogie nose. He still has a fever, but is acting normal.
I just want to go back to sleep, but I need to get up and work. Grrr.
X2That is a CARP night if ever there was one.
I hope he feels better fast and you get a nap.
And I thought the cat that had kittens between my feet in the middle of the night was bad... I moved them.when she was done... And she kept moving them back... Ended up compromising by putting a cat bed next to MY spot under the covers. She was a stray I took in.Good morning! Made it through the night without getting crapped on.
She's eating her breakfast beside the bed and talking because she hears the others.
Chickens are not fun to sleep with, those spurt naps are brutal.
It was a whole -4* when I checked on them this morning. I forgot to check the coop thermometer, but it felt warmer inside than it was outside. I didn't see Klaus when I went it, she was in the caged off area under the poop board standing on the floor and was puffed up. I offered her scratch and she barely looked at it then moved up the the roost in there. I offered her some scratch in my hand and she half heartedly peck at it, but didn't eat any. She had some food in her crop so either she ate this morning or it's there from last night. I'm going to go check on her at lunch time. It should be warmer in there by then. Her comb looked fine. No bleeding, & didn't look like it had been messed with. I'm hoping that her current condition is just b/c she's lost a little blood and is cold. I think I'm going to pick up some nutridrench this evening and see if that gives her a little boost.Morning Bob.
Yeah, it was a busy evening.
I am hoping for good updates on the birds in beds and wearing blu-kote.
That would definitely be an interesting way to wake up. You must have warm feet.
Poor kid. I hope whatever it is passes quickly & no one else gets sick.
Wow, you are a much kinder person than I am... Not sure I'd be willing to freeze for a chicken, but maybe I'd be convinced w/ enough blankets.Lol! I'd say we are pretty even on sharing the bed.
I had to turn the heat off back there and crack a window for miss fluff butt to stay comfy.
I froze but she didn't pant in my ear all night.
