So I don't know if anyone remembers me...
I've been around since the beginning of BYC with ChickChair and Terrie Lacey...
WELL, just to put a fine point on it, as of 8:15 this morning, my pet/house chicken, Obelisk the Tormentor has gone to the Coop in the Sky.
She just turned 12 years old on...
Long time member...things have been going smoothly...too smoothly obviously...
Obelisk the Tormentor is an 11 (gonna be 12 year old Leghorn hen). For the past few weeks she's been limping on her right foot. As of now, she doesn't want to put any weight on it whilst she's walking, but she can...
I was at work and ripped something in my shoulder and arm on March 10th. I finished my shift and came home to the house having been broken into. The back door and the porch door were wide open. Now I dont know if Obelisk scared em off or me coming home early did, but nothing was taken. Poor...
Sorry that I've been MIA been a lonnggg few months...
And I was all prepared to come jumping whole hog into the chicken stuff. but Life is What Happens when You're Busy Doing Other things...
I don't even remember the last time I was on AnY of my chicken places...my bad...
Let's go back to all...
I had a baby groundhog in the porch with Obelisk all winter...didn't know what it was until I was doing a bit of spring cleaning...All three of us went different directions...Ground hog crashed into a tree and kept going...now he's back and eating the floor around the door of the back porch. I...
She found one on the floor on Tuesday and I didn't notice until I saw it in half. It's my DH's and it's Hydrocholorothiazide...
She was fine yesterday, but today actually since about 6 she's had alien projectile pee. It's clear with no smell or any particles like a regular ploop. Ernie did...
You could certainly use it for an inside bird keeper too.

She's 5, will be 6 on Memorial Day.
Since her second year she hasn't laid in November. So far I have gotten 5 eggs from her in the past couple of weeks.
Today she tried laying, but couldn't produce it...she finally did, but was still uncomfortable and strainging and had egg white on her bum...
I'm a cardiac patient with corrected Tetralogy of Fallot. Twice actually with a couple of shunts and 6 catheterizations...blech.
5 Years ago, in the summer, I started having dizzy spells and arrythmia...very scary, but I thought it was stress from Tom's being killed, Jerry crowing and all...
I was just finishing making my lunch when the doorbell rings. DS opens it..."It's the Dog Catcher". Snap!!! I haven't vacuumed. There's chicken food on the floor, but I bite the bullet and let him in...He's writing up the slip and he's like how many and I say one. The other one got taken by a...
We had some neighbours move in a few years ago. They're the inlaws of the Queen of the Neigbhourhood, but they're completely different.
They walk their dog, they're friendly etc. The kids are polite and always say hi.
In the spring we'd talk and I gave them eggs. They were very happy and loved...
On Tuesday the 22nd, Ernie's getting his hip replaced...he put it off for 4 years because he saw a museum exhibit where it was being done... I am now a nervous wreck...
I have had no premonitions or visions, but I would like my BYC buddies to say some prayers for him...This is only the...

It started that she was having trouble getting into her chair to sleep on Tues. By Wed she couldn't walk and sat with her feet out front of her. I took her to the vet on Wed night and they made a tentative diagnosis of Marek's Disease.
She's...

My Leghorn hen Obelisk started out picking her buddy Penny's feathers...she's done it since we brought Penny home.
Yesterday we went out for about an hour and I went to put them out and Penny's back was bloodied...Obelisk had taken all the feathers and was going for the meat! I washed Penny...
