You don't enjoy the sap and magic of Christmas? The one day of year when everything in life is perfect? Bah!! I'm not a fan either. Everyone thinks everyone gets deep into the festivities. I will be happy when it's over too and I can look through the garden seeds at the stores instead of all the other junk they are peddling at the moment. Boy do I sound cynical, but I just don't get it all.
Well, bulbs will begin to break ground in January here, so spring is on the way, LOL.
Bailey is not eating at all. We have one of those huge syringes and we use it to put food in her mouth, but she won't touch food on her own. Finally, today, the birds can go outside again and maybe she can run with Bash awhile and perk up. Betsy seems fully recovered other than regaining her weight.
Georgie's bloat has subsided a tiny bit. We did not give her penicillin, not wanting to treat her at that age, but sometimes, like with Gloria Jean, their bodies can fight whatever it is. June, on the other hand, has taken to sleeping in a nest and her breathing is labored at times. She has very little, if any, bloat, but she is almost 10 so it could be her downhill slide to the end. Her eyes are bright and she is still kicking butt in there.
I got 4 eggs this a.m. from Georgie's group alone. Wendy, Maretta, Alice and maybe Athen all laid, plus got one from Thea. When Cora and MaryJo lay, that will give me over a half-dozen. Woohoo! Maybe soon, I can stop supplementing them with store-bought ones.
I just saw Jill on a nest. I hope she will start laying again.
It's dangerous to both my physical and mental health. Please, January 2, come quickly!
