I don't know if I have the heart to do it. I wouldn't know what I'm looking at or even for.
She was hatched from my eggs and by her coloring I think Sugar was her Mom and Trouble was her Dad. I could be wrong but that's my guess. She was always a little slower and shyer then the other hatchlings. But Sugar was too. I thought it was personality not illness.
I have Cinnamon a hen from my first batch of Swedish Flowers and Jr. from this last hatch. Although Jr is timid he seems really healthy. (Taterhead I'm pretty sure fathered him) So I may have a mother son pair left.
I really think it was a bad genetic line. I'm looking into getting some hatchlings come spring. Greenfire Farm has been a breeder for years. They import new blood direct from Sweeden. I'm just not sure....

Although Glayds seems to be feeling better she has two wounds on her bad leg. The newest one I found actually looks like the tendon pulled so hard it burst through her skin.
Her sister isn't breathing right. She insisted on laying on her side. I've never had such an uncooperative patient. Every time I try to do anything with her she jump like a kangaroo and gets so upset I think her heart is going to give out. So I had basically touched her as little as possible to lessen the stress. I think laying down messed her up. I have her tied into the sling, which she had thrown herself clean out of, to keep her upright. She seemed a little better but I'm not thinking she's going to make it.

I don't know what's wrong with any of them. I don't know if it's individual illnesses, genetic problems, a toxin or something contagious. I could send more blood samples but I don't even know what to test for. If things don't go better I don't know if I'll be able to get more chickens. It's just so heartbreaking.

Or the whole thing is BS.
Maybe it isn’t even the real company trying to shake you down.
*not that time shares of any kind are good :old
But what I’m saying is it may be a scam. So you better do some serious investigating rather than just ignoring it and hoping it goes away.

Just like those companies who claim to help you get RID of a time share....

Oh yeah, my Dad sent those guys a bundle. He bought 2 time shares.
 
Good morning people :frow

THERE IS NO SOUND MORE EFFECTIVE AT GETTING YOUR FEET ON THE FLOOR IN THE MORNING THAN A DOG PUKING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU IN THE DARK.

(He’s feeling fine now that I’m up and have stood outside in my nightgown with bare feet in 40 degree weather for 10 minutes with him.)

Hope today brings some cheer to those who need it.
PASS THE HUGS. :hugs

That is one way to go from sound asleep to fully awake.
:eek:
I hope whatever was pestering his belly is all gone now.

:hugs For the doggie.

Morning folks.

My son ordered a big ole box of chaos (new toys) from chewy. It came yesterday. Crazy happy puppies here when the girls saw the new kong balls.
