Sickness is all around

Hmmm, not too good here at the moment.

Firstly, on Tuesday Baby Browney chook had a sore eye, which then turned into her being very sick (absecess??) and then she died (I was about to put her down). Then, I found Silky chook sitting on the ground that night. When I picked her up she weighed nothing and was finding it hard to breathe. We put her down that night as she was dying a slow horrible death. Not sure what was wrong with her.

I just found Whitey acting funny this afternoon. I picked her up and her weight was good but she was sort of gasping and sitting. I went back about 1 hr later and she was dead. We also have at least 1 rooster but he is only crowing, not very loudly, a couple of times in the morning and that is it. I'm pretty certain that we have at least 3 roosters but only 1 is lightly crowing. We haven't found the culprit yet!!!

Very sad as they were all lovely chooks. I don't know what is going on but I have almost lost half my adult chook population in a week - very sad about that and am a little bit concerned thinking do I have some sort of disease going around?? They seem unrelated, but not 100% sure.

Friday night I went out to a friends place for a party. When I got home Michael was up and down a bit and not himself. at about 12pm that night - SPEW everywhere!!! And it went like that every 30mins until 9am that morning (except by then there was no more spew, just heaving). He was better after a huge 4.5hr sleep that afternoon.

Today was meant to meet a friend for a play in the park, but got a message from her that she had the spew bug. Greg was over helping his Uncle with some computer probs and he called me - yep, got the spew bug - he is in bed now feeling very sorry for himself, hopefully sleeping it off.

Jemma had the bug whilst she was at her Dad's place, so at the moment I am the only one who hasn't got it (touch wood).

Ahhhh, I love washing spew out of bedlinen and towels LOL

Hope your week was better...........and doesn't Michael look cute with his nice hair cut (although he is very whingy today for some reason???)

Will try and update some more during the week........................
