What did you do with your flock today?

[TropicalBabies]

I just brought her back in. She's not eating or drinking. She won't touch the eggs I made. I did get a partial tab of b-complex down her.

Hope you can get her turned around ♡

I think we are sending it your way. I just heard the news report on pending winter weather warning for the mainland. This was a fun one, batten down! ♡♡
Hows the flock miss kurby ♡♡? You ready for christmas?!!

Rain just changed to snow, on top of slushy makes for treacherous driving by tomorrow morning if temps drop tonight. Winter storm warning until 7 pm. Chooks do not want to come out. Don't blame them. Sam's neuter appointment was rescheduled again in two weeks. Schools closed, so clinic did as well.

How does her crop feel?

It was empty but it had a hard feeling to it.

I want to hold her, but I don't want to take her from the food and water just in case she will eat. She is walking, and her tail feathers are a bit higher than before.

Oh boo! I am certain we could do without that storm system!! Hopefully it stays south-ish! My flock is doing okay...they are all running through the gambit of yeast and canker and dry pox issues it seems. So I have been working to dry things out, and sterilize waterers and treat them all with the proper meds and supplements. So far so good. Everyone clears up within a couple days of treatment.

I am almost ready for Christmas, but got a ways to go yet. We started decorating the tree finally and tonight we will finish it and the fireplace stockings...and I am going to go today and pick up wrapping paper so I can wrap a few things tonight. I have such a bad back, wrapping gifts is really really hard on it. But I HATE gift bags. I want pretty packages wrapped with bows because that is what my Mom did for me and it's special to me.

I hope that the chickens stay healthy so my Christmas and NYs are better this year! Fingers crossed.

I hope she's O.K.?

Maybe Google it. Instructions may be online, or even on YouTube.

Good idea!

You're doing all the right things for your flock. Things MUST get better soon.

We finally got our tree decorated, the garland on the mantlepiece and the wreath on the front door. Just got the dining room to decorate.
Have a day of rat removal and run renovation planned tomorrow then 2 solid days of baking. It's great not having to go to work until next year
Bad backs are the worst! I fractured my sacrum 18 years ago. It healed very badly and the things I can't do now that i used to do with ease - and no pain - frustrate me so much.

Yes, I have a partially herniated disc and disc degeneration that has caused a lot of nerve pain and back issues. When I stand for more than about 5 mins, I start losing feeling in my legs. It's no fun!

Rat removal and run renovations sound like my life too! I seem to have foiled them for the time being, but I feel it's only a matter of time. Did I tell you the rat trap I bought appears to be a joke to them? I watched four of the little jerks go in and get trapped...only to squeeze right out through the holes!!! SOOOO not cool. Then I watched them climb the door and try getting in through the gap in the door at the top--so I had to stick hardware cloth in the gap. BUT, I have gone 3 full days with food in the chicken coop feeders! Although I have found a bunch of missing siding to the coop where they are chewing it trying to get thru. I might be hiring some rat exterminators in the New Year! GRR. Gotta order the bucket lid too! My daughter was scarred the other night when I sent her out to check on things because the neighbor cat had apparently snuck into the backyard and caught a rat and she heard screaming and hissing and growling and came tearing in the house totally freaked out about the scary teeth of something murdering a rat. It's a good thing I love my chickens a ridiculous amount.

Okay, off to get wrapping paper and last minute things for my son's Christmas performance tomorrow!
