Pets. Who needs them.

posted in Illnesses, Livestock and Pets, NaBloPoMo |

I’m very tired.

I’ve spent the day putting small amounts of medicated water into the beak of a very very sick chicken, who wasn’t eating and wasn’t drinking.

And now I have to wrap up a dead chicken and figure out what to do with her.

Then I have to figure out how to let the dotter know that yet another of our pets has died.

Somewhere in there, I want to go to bed and sleep for days.

Chickens may be dumb clucks, but they have personalities and character.  Sarafina was a very sweet bird.

    Oh dear, that’s a shame. Let’s just hope the influenza hasn’t spread to the rest of the girls…
