I wasn't offended deb- sorry if it came across like I was. I'm getting so sick again. Gluten in the chicken feed has finally caught up with me. 3rd day in a row wake up vomiting, the rashes have been coming back all summer/fall. Now I'm just in misery.

I can either get rid of my chickens and ducks. Or find a gluten-free feed to make them. It's very upsetting. I had hoped for "more time" and that my long pink kimchi making gloves would protect me more.

My chickens make me so happy. I would be most unhappy to be rid of them. It's making me cry now thinking such things. They're my babies. Fluffy feathered babies. I love them more than my greyhounds, which is saying a lot.

Oh, honey, I'm go sorry. Maybe you can be hands off for a while and let bf do feeding, etc. Get the processing over with and then stay away for a few days.

I wear gloves that go above my elbows. It's now gluten-free feed or need to not have chickens and ducks. :( I wear a mask that I use for spraying food grade DE with a damp bandana over it. Still not good enough.

I think I have figured out what's wrong with Reginald. He eats far too much. I had to take the ff out of the cage. He just won't stop eating, his crop is hugely distended and he's wheezing for air again.

I am so blessed that my DH has just done a great job jumping in and taking care of my girls until I can walk again. It's breaking my heart not being able to take care of them, or even go out by them, for the past 2 months. All I can do is watch out the window, but knowing it will probably only be another month or so until I can start working on the girls getting to know me again, keeps my spirits up. I can't imagine the prospect of never having them again. I wish I had some sage advice for you but I have nothing. All I can do is offer a prayer. I hope you find an answer soon.

Oh sorry. I missed that in the post last time. I wish there was another way for you.
