Official Squatch Watchers

[Chickassan]

I normally go and cover the mess with dirt/leaves but iv'e been slacking since the babies hatched.
No kidding, in a month I bet there was four inches of hulls down there on my side, on his I don't even want to guess. I'm not anti bird feeder by any means but dude that is nasty.

If I were you I'd be asking her when would be a good time to drop the kids off to their mom. Those were her own eggs, so in reality they were free chicks so I wouldn't be too worried. I get being disappointed that more didn't hatch, but I'm sure it's not her worst hatch rate. You did what you could for them, I doubt she'll be bothered by it.


Ugh.. Can you put something over there to block her from rolling in the parasite? I guess it could be much worse, ALL of them could think it's a good idea to hang out over there.


Oh, at my dr's office it's the receptionist who calls, maybe she's a nurse too, but she's def the person who answers the phone when you call to make an appt & is sitting at the window when you go in for an appt.


I think this should be a reminder to all of us to make sure that we follow up w/ the dr's office and if we have tests done to ask about them at the next appt & don't assume the dr will see them or remember they were ordered.

It definitely should be a (potentially fatal) reminder to take charge of our health AND our interactions with the doctors.

So in just a week and a half hubs had gone from 564 (a potentially fatal glucose reading) to a 209 this morning.
What changed? No soda, very limited refined sugar, limiting carbs, more veggies (the green kind ) and the use of prescription drugs.

If he didn't have Script Save one of those would have been over $200 with the others not far behind.

Something not advertised at all is that people can go into the lab and ask for certain tests no DR order needed.
It saves an office visit if we are proactive and just get the tests BEFORE seeing the doctor so we can bring the results in with us.

I feel bad for the chicks more then anything.
Clearly something wasn’t quite right. I lost the gangly one in the night. Looks like it just fell asleep and didn’t wake up. I don’t think it was absorbing food correctly.

these babies are trying to kill me

Little splay leg baby thought ripping the leg off would be better then being hobbled. Don't know how but managed to split itself open.

Getting that taken care of I hear loud peeping from the basement. 4-5 babies huddled in the corner next to the water. One of them doing the back stroke. Wet and cold but alive.
Special Needs Unit has a new resident.

This is a very challenging hatch!

What prescription did he get? Did you start on one too?

Keep up the good work!

It is a life time thing currently. Maybe one day there will be a cure

They are taking it seriously for sure!

The diet changes will go a long way for getting it all under control
