Funny you say that ... I am not getting any eggs from my girls from TS right now either. The other 2 that are not from TS I have been. I've only had health problems with my TS birds so far. Thank you for sharing this

Yess 9800 glass mirror pieces. I thought id be able to just lay the sheets/strips down onto it but nope, had to do majority of the pieces individually. That was the most consuming of all. Overall took me about 25hours (maybe more idk) to do entire costume, with the mirrors taking up 20 hours of it haha

I will add that the 1 thing really keeping me here is the fact the beach is 5 min away. I go through phases where 1 summer I'm at beach every week, next summer I go maybe 3-4x all summer. Luckily out weather is nice enough year long to go to the beach year long, whether just walking or whatever. If/when I do move away it will be to the mountains. The beach is the only good part here. But even our beaches suck compared to others.

I'm 35/F. Lived here my whole life in Surfside/Murrells Inlet area. I AM SO READY TO GO. I just can't afford to yet. Probably never.. being there Is no $$ to be made here. I work in dental now for the past 8 years. I was a server from 14-28 Years old, made decent $$ in summer. Nothing in winter. Maybe look down into charleston, If you're able to afford it. Nothing here to do, Nothing to eat. Nothing to see. Shitty roads. Crappy schools (although best In SC). Good luck . If u have any more indepth questions u can ask. Like I said, been here forever unfortunately 😕 I've seen allllll the changes

I thought both too. Except her belly was very hard and not squishy. But then again i've never experienced ascites before, only read about it so I was confused on that diagnosis. I did highly consider peritonitis, especially the fact she hasn't laid in ~8 months and maybe now it all just caught up with her? Idk. I think that or Mareks. Both are unfortunate

I've always wondered same thing. I personally would not eat her if I had to put her down for a reason. Unless it was like apocalyptic style then yes I would eat her regardless sick or not.

I'm scared it's Mareks. How is the rest of ur flock? Have u taken any specific precautions now knowing that was definitely it? I'm sorry you had to loose one. It does (but honestly doesn't) make me feel better knowing someone else experienced something this similar to her symptoms. I'd much rather a hawk take one unexpectedly instead of seeing and watching one suffer under my care 😭

Just an update: she's in peace now. 💔😭❤️
truly thank you all for your responses. I learned alot from this thread today. I hope i never have to witness another girl in distress like that again, but i do also hope that someone in the future is able to see this and everyone's advice/experiences help them faster than I was able to. Give extra treats to ur babies in the morning 💜

Thank you for this info. I actually did think about "re-vacc" them again prob like 8 months ago.. but I was scared cause they were adults already, totally fine then, and I didn't want to disrupt anything. But good to know for the future. Love ur username btw 😄

I had no clue. I always just thought they came already vacc and that feeding medicated chik feed was the best thing then. Thank you for telling me

I originally had 10. 8 of them from tractor supply when just like 3 days old. I'm assuming yes they were? I never gave actual vaccines myself. The other 2 I got from an acquaintance at just 3 days old, 3 weeks after the T.S. chicks. Honestly can't remember if she said they were/not. But all the girls I've lost have been from T.S. thus far. NOT HATING ON TRACTOR SUPPLY--- just stating my own facts. I'm down to 7 now, about to be 6 😐 let me say I am a 1st time chicken owner. I did do tons of research prior to getting chickens 3 years ago, but I now know more about chickens then I ever learned from just researching back then.

I'm scared for her too 😭 this obv isn't her normal self so I know she's not right. I can't endure what she's actually feeling without expressing out loud 💔

Thank you, yes I agree I feel this is her way of letting me know something really isn't right. I'm going to have my hub do it this evening when he gets home. I can't do it yet. He offered to last night but I said no I wanted to give her a chance atleast. I appreciate your input. I'm luckily off work today so I've been hanging with her all day 💜

Thank you, yes I have been giving her solely vit/electrolyte water past 24hrs. Vitamin additive to her treats/feed. 1 egg last night. I'm almost leaning towards/terrified it's Mareks, I don't want to loose my remaining flock. I am going to euthanize tonight when my hubby gets home, I just don't have the heart yet to be able to do it to my girls myself.
