I quoted this so I could use . It needs to be a response you can pick from.

for any who need them.

I've had a trying bird week myself. I lost Yicky who was to be renamed Diana. Wonder Woman's true name. Poor thing just couldn't take the injuries anymore.
Then I lost a Marans growout. It acted like it was cold one morning. It was gone the next. Found this in its gizzard.View attachment 2346722View attachment 2346721
Very sandy feeling but hard. I cut it open but really it didn't tell me anything.
Lost an OE too. It was having crop trouble for 2 days then just died. Opened it up to find it had testies and eggs. And lots of worms.
Found a showgirl growout this morning. It wasn't acting sick at all.

Despite the 2020 curse I'm picking up some sebrights on Saturday. A lady needs to rehome them and I'm worried about only having 2 seramas. At least with 6 little tiny birds they stand a better chance of integrating to the big coop or having a coop of their own.

My darn bathroom sink gave me problems yesterday. Its always been a little slow if you run the water at full blast. Drain couldn't keep up but would always drain once the water was turned off. Yesterday it wasn't going anywhere. Tried to snake it and got nothing. Water still there. So I plunged it and black chunks came up. I figured due to me rattling the snake down the drain. Then I noticed one of the black chunks was trying to escape! Nope Nope Nope!View attachment 2346796
Thats under magnification. Maybe a house centipede larva? Still a Nope! Got the sink sorted out later. No idea what its problem was.

Nunny you've had a tough day Hoping tomorrow brings a better day for you.

Sorry for all your losses. That really sucks.

Worms in the plumbing, not that unusual. Its probably a larval stage of something that flies.

That is so totally messed up!

Today was refreshing. Even though I had to boys by myself from 8-9:30am, because DH was practicing his pre-checks on the bus, the boys generally behaved. Thing 2 wanted to dress up in his superhero costume (consisting of an Amazon bubble mailer helmet, a cardboard shield tied to his arm with yarn, a jogging belt for water bottles, a receiving blanket cape, orange blue light blocking glasses, and a wooden knife) and have Thing 2 put on a similar, less elaborate costume. Thing 2 was having none of it. He didn't want the cape, he didn't want the belt, and he would let me put on the helmet, go over to Thing 1, pull the helmet off his head, wave it in Thing 1's face, and say "hat" while grinning mischievously (he did this 3-4 different times). Thing 1 was not amused that Thing 2 was not complying with his wishes and he got a bit upset about that. I had to explain to him that his brother didn't want to play dress up right now and he couldn't make him. My MIL came at 9:30 to do story time, and my mom came to get them shortly after. We put both boys down for a nap around 2:15pm after they got back. Thing 2 was asleep very quickly and Thing 1 was asleep by 3pm (he hasn't been taking naps recently but he seemed tired when they got back from my mom's so I asked him if he wanted a nap and he said he did). It was a nice relaxing day. I had off from 2pm-4:30pm while waiting for something to come in. After I put the boys down, I took a bath and relaxed a bit before it was game time. Sometimes, I hate the unpredictable nature of my hours, but other times, it is nice to flex out when I don't have work.

My dad also gave DH a line on another job. The local college is hiring more security guards because they have some Covid positive students that they want to make sure don't leave their dorms. DH has about a dozen years of experience in security (even though the last time he worked as one was Dec 2018), so if he can swing getting second shift, that would be pretty close to ideal for us even if he would make less money than he would as a bus driver.

Yeah iv'e mulled it over, but iv'e heard it gets depressing after a while.

I laugh because, honestly, the world could end and you would somehow manage to make it sound funny. Ever thought of doing stand up? Lol!

Good evening Bob!
Im glad everybody survived!

Good evening Chicky, glad you survived.... Have a great evening.

I lost a roo a few days ago. I believe he got in a fight with my adult roo and where they was locked in the coop was not able to get away. He was probably the sweetest one of course. But I have several I'm going to have "to take care of" shortly anyway. So nature just made that decision for me.

Happier note. Quail grow so so so so fast.
One week and you wouldn't believe they was in the same bath in the incubator.

I had a lavendar D'uccle and a Jubilee Orpington drop dead today. The D'uccle looked off yesterday. The orp looked fine.
