Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

Is Daddy holding a popsicle?

I hope so.

I guess he was passing them out instead of cigars ?

I did not picture you for a sock eating person. Were you lacking in fiber when you tasted the socks?

 

[Chickielady]

I'd better see and hear bells -- DANGIT ! Are you bringing your three snot machines?



I can bring more than just 12. I'm getting close to a dozen a day from that group of 12 girls, so I just need a heads up. (Black sex-link eggs. NH Roo over Pabst Blue Ribbon Hens)


I WANT TO BUILD ONE OF THESE!!!

Snot Machines ????????????

Hi Washingtonians! Here's an update from my issue yesterday. Still an issue, unfortunately...

The good news is she won't slow down so it was difficult to get a photo. I have separated her from the rest of the birds and have her in her own little space with food and water. I irrigated her eye with saline solution and it was less puffy by the time I did this, so I decided not to do neosporin (even though my neosporin doesn't appear to have any pain meds in it so it would probably be okay).

I let her out for a few minutes this morning and she ran around the yard free ranging. She seems healthy (for now) except the eye, but I don't want to take any chances. I haven't seen her sneezing, she's as feitsy as ever, and she is eating still.

Here are photos of her eyes, let me know what you think. First her "normal" eye:


Next her "bad" eye:



Yesterday it was more puffy, more towards the front of the eye (almost seemed as if it was pushing her eyeball backward). And it was more enflamed/enlarged above the eyeball in a way that made it seem like she had a big, angry eyebrow. I hope this is making sense! Any help/advice much appreciated!

Separate her...and get her on an antibiotic ?

A friend of mine just posted on Facebook that her daughter called from Reeves Middle School in Olympia from a locked room. The school is in lockdown. Her daughter said a man was seen entering the school carrying a rifle and shouting profanities. This is all third hand information right now but I think some good thoughts could be used for those kids and teachers who are in lockdown without knowing what is happening outside their doors.

I'm not seeing any new information yet. Let's hope this all blows over without serious incident.

ETA: This just now from the mother -
"School just called school will remain on lockdown today police are with the kids inside and all other kids are being held at the private elementary school close by. All I know so far".

They are saying NOTHING on the TV news about this !!!!!!!!!!!! (As of right now)

Quote: No, it was probably for the mother~ that's all they'll let you have sometimes when you're having a baby. No food and not much liquid, so they let you suck on ice.

She is in IL.......I wish I could hold her & love the little baby coos & noises....................so far away !

Maybe Drumstick Diva can go see her & be honorary Grandma in my place ?

I know how you feel CL 2 of my Grandchildren have been raised far way from us.. distant grand parenting is the pits
