What did you do with your flock today?

[TropicalBabies]

Today I will be taking one of my Golden comets to the vet. I'm nervous. She got surgery for a very bad prolapse (oviduct AND rectum) on Monday, and the vet will be removing her stitches today.

It is a bit too soon and I'm worried that she could prolapse again. But according to the vet, if she produces an egg and her vent is still stitched, it is a death sentence. So in that sense, it's preferable that she gets another prolapse.

Best case scenario, the tissues will be held in place without the stitches and her body will be wise enough to stop production. We don't have hormones for that so I'm basically just keeping her in the dark and praying. She needs to heal and I'm afraid that her high rate of egg production won't let her.

Please do not ever let me have layers again, lol

Yikes. That is big ♡ best of luck to you all. Amazing you found a vet willing to go that extra mile. ♡
Please give us a follow up post. Very, very interesting. You are in my good thoughts

Good morning all! Much and more of the same here today. Waters, feed, scrape and sew. Glad to have more chickens in my day forsure. Amazing the joy they give me just by existing.
Flock got to yard wander yestereve. A papaya hit the ground so they got a bonus favorite snack!

I had a early appointment in town yesterday and rode Boo in. What a great ride and what a great day! Met so many terric gals randomly, total girl day . I forgot how fun my gender can be.

Also got a new sensor and relay in the mail yesterday, so get to play mechanic today. Hope this solves Boos turn signal problem, this is it?

Also, time to do some footwork for my DHs birthday. It's a big one this year. I can't believe how old everyone but me is getting strangest phenomenon

About to head out for my walk. Very happy to say I have people coming today for 4 of the young geese. I posted an ad so I don't know these people at all, but they're polite and speak in complete sentences. Buyers and presidents should always talk in complete sentences

My kids politely informed me last birthday that I was wrong about my age and needed to add a few years. Oops I swear I'm much younger than they say!

Well, I'm gunna raise my bar a little higher on the later, and pray for sanity. Don't need no insincere big mouthed showboat.
I do hope those cute geese find a good life with good people ♡♡

Layers are ok as long as not the hybrids that have their rate of lay jacked up. My next hens that I buy as chicks will be Barred rocks for decent rate of lay and very long lived for a hen. I'm not interested in feed to egg conversion ratio. I want girls that stay with me. Of course it might be me hanging on for them.

Sanity does make a difference doesn't it?

Well...it's a teeny, tiny bit quieter now. Two more geese to find homes for left. Wow geese have good lungs!
One of the ladies was a sweetheart. She's coming back for some chickens .
