Tom's dad was taken to the hospital with COPD at 80 yrs old, plus has other issues. Tom is worried about him. Of course, the favored brother, the one with COPD/emphysema himself who is on oxygen and still smoking was the one called, not the "white sheep" of the family, my DH.
I have a bantam rooster with an impacted crop, if you can believe it. Angus is in the house. He has been having weird spells where his comb will go really dark for awhile. On May 25, I let the group free range and he, Sunny and Shadow went into the grow out pen and ate grass. Well, I guess he doesn't get how to eat grass and today, I realized his chest seemed way too big. When I picked him up, he was thin and the crop too full, so we've been working on him all day long.
Emily has a leg injury-she's already snapped out of her broodiness and her bumblefoot is healing up fine, but her hock is clearly painful so she is in Zane's cage above Nugget. She isn't eating much at all, either, and I'm concerned about her.
Suede seems to have punctured his foot between his toes and it was swollen on top between the toes-we've let out infection and bandaged it, but there is a piece of something in there that is trying to come to a head so I'm worried about him.
Dottie acts like she's grieving for a chick she didn't even want, poor confused hen. She is so thin and her appetite is off.
So, I feel like selling off half of everybody and cramming the rest in the bantam coop, I swear. I'm sort of tired of it all right now, imagine that!
