Official Squatch Watchers

I'm alive! I've still been working. One account is closed. The dentist is emergency only. Most others are work from home as much as possible but still open.
I lost 3 more girls. My swedish flower that was having crop issues. She seemed to be doing better then suddenly went downhill and died. Found another on the floor one morning. And a Spitz didn't seem to be feeling well when the weather went from 60 to 30 and she died. No idea what happened.
I redid their run area and they are all happy. Drinking from dirty mud puddles and making a mess scratching in muck. I have been trying to spread wood chips but the weather is so back and forth it's hard to find a good day. With the rain I just got in the last 2 days the coop is flooded. Actual water on the floor. Cleaned it out and got more rain... I need gutters, a covered run and a trench at this point. They certainly don't seem to mind but I hate it. I feel so bad at how gross it gets instantly.

So sorry for your losses! Maybe you could do a french drain? And I have found the compressed pellets for horse stalls do great on improving footing . Glad you made it back!

Good afternoon chicky, have a great day

I order from Cackle, I love them. The chicks are pretty hardy. They've always sent extras, even on small orders. Two years ago I ordered 4 EEs and 5 Lavender Keets. I got 7 EEs and 6 Lavs.

I didn't lose any of them until the order I placed this year. I got 5 extra chicks. I lost 4. Two of which were meaties, so that wasn't surprising.


Looks like you have a Black, a blue and two splash to me.

Good afternoon Rae, have a great day

The fates have smiled upon my household for we now have two rolls of paper towels and two packs of toilet paper.
Also the large bag of derp chow was finally marked shipped yesterday.
I can finally wipe my butt in semi solace and not worry quite so much about the derps being hungry although the latter might take several weeks to be a valid worry.

Good for you. I was fortunate... a week or so before all this began I bought a mega pack, always do, so I think I'm good until about June... Feed is not a problem as the feed store is open and they have feed. Getting there could be tricky but we'll cross that bridge when we have to. I can get the same feed from my local co-op for $18 a bag that I pay $12 a bag for at the feed store.

I pay $10 a bag for layer pellets or crumbles. Rural king.

I am really sorry about both the random losses and the sog.

Just got back from vehicle recovery!!! Hubs truck was found and is back in his hands. Minor damage to the truck and it is a disgusting piggy mess.
He is at the car wash cleaning all the diesel off it....yes diesel spilked all over inside and outside the bed. The cab is extra gross! That will be cleaned as soon as he gets home.

We get the bale of paper when we get out to sam's club, unfortunately we didn't go before this crap and people went "stuff" crazy.
I have zero choices for feed, two feed stores "both bad" one TSC which basically got looted or chewy possibly amazon.
Amazon got me the 16lbs to see me through until chewy shipped.
TSC was empty except for scratch and goat chow.
