Oh what a mess...Hot wire is down around the ponys field where she has a pole barn, she got out and came up to the barn, thankfully...But she was shivering so we had to put all the goats in one stall and her in the other. It's pouring rain here and hubs is at work now so the fence will have to wait.
On a good note, one of the AC eggs has pipped and I hear peeps and the other is tapping...

Yep Lowes works with them... they have it in inventory in a loft area....Once an order for one comes in they Call the Dealership and a man is sent out to put it together and give it its first service.

I have five days to extend the service contract out for two years.... The beauty of it is they will come to me where ever I am to service it.

Yay.

Okay, so the speckled sussex with the rock solid crop...she's still with us, miraculously. I still think there is a blockage somewhere, but we brought her in to put her on a very soft food diet (yogurt, runny scrambled egg, olive oil, almond milk/oatmeal, Nutri Drench) thinking we might be able to get something to go through. She did one regular looking poop last night and her comb and wattles are still red, which are good. The odd thing is how her crop, that is now more soft than it was, really feels full of little rocks (chicken food would have long ago decomposed). I am wondering if her blockage began as a small problem, so she just kept ingesting little rocks like normal, but over time they just couldn't pass through any more.
Without some sort of surgical intervention, I don't forsee much hope for her - unless whatever is causing the blockage is something that will gradually decompose.
I guess I am wondering if we should keep limping her along - the poor thing is very thin - or when/if we should put her down. I know it's ultimately my decision, just give me an "If I were you" thought or two.
