amen.
On a lighter note, I had a great evening last nite. Have already started eating some of the greens we planted and the concrete stones we have been making are finally starting to amass and we might actually have a pretty cool pathway when we are done.
Well, I have no one to blame but myself, our new dog got in the chicken run. He went after the black aulstrop and must of done some damage. She was down this morning and unable to move.
I looked her over but I didnt see anything. But she was so pale around her eyes and comb. Nearly white.
She may be just dying from old age, but I worry its because of Rockys greedy belly and too smart ways. He found a back way to push threw the chicken wire and squeeze in to get their feed. The black hen gave chase and he went for her. I never saw him grab her but I fear she might of hurt herself in the flight.
I put her in a carrier, since the dirty roo just kept mounting her and pecking her head while she just lay there to weak to fight.
I know logically that he's just being a chicken but it made me so mad to see him abuse her like that while she was so sick.
So today I expect to go home at lunch and find her dead. She looked totally physically sound, just very weak and pale. I tried to feed her and she refused. I held her when I looked her over and she squaked weakly, and the dang roo acted all protective.
After all the meanness he dished out he better shut it. Hopefully some rest and not being jumped on will bring her around. Im gonna read up on chicken problems and see if I can do anything. I really think it could be old age tho, she stopped laying for the last year and some. She's normally real happy. Sad to see her like this.
I hope Mother Nature gives you a long gentle rain to make your plants and fish happy.
