so...
because I stupidly left the tarp up on a night the temps dropped well below freezing.
I have a bunch a youngsters with mucoid enteropathy. High temps combined with rapid drop in temperature, not a good thing when followed up by lots of wind. Stupid, stupid stupid.
I've done everything that has worked in the past.
Hopeful to save one, but not counting my chickens yet - as the one I was most hopeful for I culled tonight due to excessive teeth grinding and a belly as hard as rock from gas build up.
They are eating - oats, greens and a bit of hay, my hay isn't great but tomorrow I'm getting better stuff.
They are drinking, about 2/3's of normal amount.
They are simply NOT pooping.
I am kicking myself very hard and feeling none to happy with myself.
yes I know...huge learning curve this week in reminders not to think spring in March!
Can you tell yet how very stupid I am?<br /><br />__________ Tue Apr 06, 2010 7:48 am __________<br /><br />i've got two drinking pineapple juice....and all three willingly took their gas x this morning. Is there hope I wonder?????
