[chainedbones]

Sorry for lack of anything, it’s been a stressful weekend.

Penny has got an uri, she started showing signs around Thurs and is on meds. Just worried about her due to her age. Luckily no one else has it.

Jolly is back in the sick bay. She has possibly eaten something or has been bitten by a bug not 100% sure but her face swell up on Sat. She was given injections and it is slowly going down but not completely yet which has me more worried.

Hello Void!

To get this out of the way, happy pride, I wish I could care but unless we’re rioting I can’t, not with the amount of anti-trans laws.

Now on to more depressing things.

The chicks are sick.

It started with a Bielefelder named Crybaby, she started sneezing a lot.

Then a different Bielefelder started wheezing.

We have antibiotics ordered plus what’s basically chick Vick’s VapoRub should come today.

We hope the Chick Vick’s will help with the sneezing, we’re still doing research on wether or not to give them the antibiotics immediately since we only have two/three signs of them being sick.

Hopefully they’ll be okay.

I want them to be okay.

I am not okay.

I am tired, I am panicking.

I want them all to be okay, I’m really worried about both Bielefelders.

Crybaby is so small.

The other one is kinda lethargic.

I’m not okay.
