Hey Dan, Jim is bored!

 

[delisha]

I lost two more chicks that I had borough in the house. They were exhibiting wry neck symptoms...very odd. I wonder if this medication strips them of all vitamins or if they are just too small and got too much of the bad food.
I still have two left in the house. I am not sure if any of the baby's are going to make it or not..
The adults seem fine.

That just stinks. Especially when it is the babies.

Hey all!! I am loving this time off! It is so noce and today will be a mildly lazy day! I am cought up on most things around here.

Del, I also am tired of turkey! We have now made it into gravy for buns. Very goood. How are your gold laced? I hopefully they pull through.

Bigz I hope all goes well with your cockeral. I will get you a back up for sure in spring if anything does happen. But we get so attached. Hope he is just fine.

Momgill, glad you are healing.

Clark, I had no idea. That has to be the hardest situation. I know how much we love our kids. And it would be a bad thing to go through. I do know that people who are addicted like that will absolutely never get help because you want them to. I hope that the day comes when your daughter realises and makes that decision. I am praying for your strength to continue to do the right thing. I know it is hard to do. But you k now it will be worth it for that sweet baby in the end!

Bbl4 sounds like you thanksgiving is just as busy as our christmas!

Cind, I hope you have the best day today!

Terri, I keep forgetting to say! The hubbord was a huge hit with the fam very good I must say. We have lots left over! Have been eating t every day. Scott has some seeds dryimg and plans to plant them next year.

Jim, the parakeets.are good. We can not seem to calm the white one. She is very fiesta! The other 3 are doing good. Only nibbling the kids are in love for sure! They love to sit up on the fan blades. Ione more thing for mom to clean!

Melaniefeelingverycontentwithlifeatthistime!

Glad you guys are doing well! I bet that white parakeet is a female...the males seem to be much easier to tame--and dont bite as hard either! Good luck with them! What a great winter project for your kids too.

Hey Jim...I am betting that nobody will show up tomorrow either...what's the prize?

I am getting tired here...maybe I will watch some videos for a while...or head off to bed. I have an empty day tomorrow...only one client. I wonder what else will happen?

Sweet dreams! TerriO

BL4--your holiday sounds fabulous...I love Castle Rock!
GLad you are healing Connie!
Take is easy Cind...you should see MY floor...and my back is FINE (most of the time)

Vicky...I am losing babies too...because my foolish hens insist on hatching year round! Any news from the feed Co.?

good eve, yeah Terri,, no shows,,, no phone calls.. you win,, you can come and pick up your half dozen half breed geese, any time ..

cc, "laughing",, good one..

My trip to Middleton is off,, I am not heart broken about it ..

Puppy jumped up and put his paws on me.. I admonished him,, today I found out why..
Ken (aka the dog whisperer) is letting him (puppy) put his feet on him when he gets petted..
I wish,, just once,, that I could train a dog without being sabotaged by idiots ..

as of 9AM today, Annie worked 80 hours this week.. not something I would do or condone..

[babylady4]

I completely agree Jim...... on the dog part.

TO,

I just called Friday. I do not expect anything for a while. They just wrote down the numbers I gave them. They said they will be in touch.

I would just like to tell everyone Thank You for your kind words. This situation has been very stressful and I know it's going to continue to be for some time. You are right CC, I just have to remember to take care of myself too which I've been slacking on due to not having much sleep being up most nights with baby. I did get a half hr nap in today though. They biggest drive I've had thru this whole thing is the fact that my mother was a drug addict/alcoholic and put me and my sisters thru a horrible childhood and all my family members knew and did nothing about it. It has been something that has stuck hard in me my whole life to not allow things like this to happen with my own children and I have told them if a situation like this would arise I would do everything in my power to ensure the safety of the children. So many people either just turn their heads or close their eyes to what is going on but not me. I'm doing my best to not be angry at my daughter over what she's done as I know that the drugs were doing her thinking. It's so hard as she wasn't this kind of person until she had met up with her boyfriend 2 years ago who is a drug dealer and addict himself and has a 7 yr old daughter that hasn't been important enough for him to stop his lifestyle so I knew that my grand daughter would suffer the same life if I didn't step in. I think the hardest part right now is hearing her say that its not that bad to have done drugs, but I think that's that addiction talking. Anellia had her first hospital visit lastnight as shes had diarrhea since early yesterday morning, which they did tell us to expect from the drugs. She had 9 #2 diapers from 7am-4pm so I took her in to be on the safe side. She checked out ok as I had been adding in some Pedialite with her feedings and just to keep watch for dehydration. They said to keep doing what I was doing as it's working. She has many of the symptoms they said she would have like fussyness, twitching/shaking, sneezing, vomiting and diarrhea to name a few.
But I won't continue to hijack this thread with non chicken talk but I do ask if anyone knows of a forums that deals with this situation that they can refer me to I would greatly appreciate it as I don't have family close due to their drug addictions and I don't want that lifestyle around my immediate family so it's just me and the kids. I only have 1 true friend that I even talk to that's not online, the rest are from this board only.

On the other side of things, I lost my lav silkie yesterday. When I went out to coop her head was stuck under the run panel(dog kennel panels) and had been mauled a bit. I'm not sure what animal would of done this, weasel?. The 4 inside are doing great other than they are making one hell of a mess in the house and I may have to just throw them out with the others and hope for the best. The BLRW pullet is getting so big that she should of been out a long time ago but I was so worried to lose her being my only actually BLR hatched. The outside ones are weathering well with the cold. I can't seem to keep the chicks in the pen though, they keep squeezing thru. The new BLRW are doing great but I'm sure they'll be much happier once they can come out of quaranteen and be able to mingle with the other chickens. The BLRW coop is now up to 2 eggs a day, WOOT. The others still aren't laying much, I get 1 or 2 eggs a week from them. I'm sure it would be better if I had lights set up but I haven't had time to get that done. Only the coop with the chicks has light for heat so far.

I'm so sorry to hear you lost more Deli, if I had your type of chickens I'd give you some to replace, but mine are no where near your quality. I feel bad when anything like that happens when you lose your chickies. I hope the ones that did survive didn't have too much internal damage.

We didn't get any veni this year, I think we should of just took the money we spent on licenses and gone and bought meat. Theirs always next year.

I went to my first visit with the Neurologist at Mayo in Eau Claire Friday and they are sending me over to Rochester as he said they had more qualified doctors there that could better help my Pappilitis and migraines which hopefully they figure out why my head has too much spinal fluid before I completely lose vision in my left eye. Most people that have this only lasts for a few days to a few weeks and I've had it for 2 years. The longer your optic nerve is swollen the more vision you lose permanently.

 

[delisha]

Sheesh..I wish you live closer..SClark..I hope they can take care of your eye issues.
I feel pretty helpless but I have an ear anytime you need one.
Thanks for the offer of chickens but I have only lost adult egg layers that were old. All my breeding stock seem fine.
Just the young generation for next year is gone. I will just have to make more if these turn out Ok and don't test for organ damage.

Hi All!

Today went OK. Only had 3 grandsons though, one had a birthday party. Almost all the food was gone! Not many left overs for people to take home either. 2nd son had to take the .22 with him to fix. Went to put the magazine in and a couple of small parts fell out. He tried to fix it here but when he thought he had it, the mag. wouldn't go back in. I'm sure he'll figure it out.

Hope I can get to sleep early tonight, I'm real tired, but that doesn't mean much. LOL that's when I usually wind up sleeping for an hour then can't sleep the rest of the "night".

Night All!
