The rest of Wednesday is spent sleeping. I had a couple of crackers and some water and went to bed.
Thursday~ Well, I'm not throwing up any more but it's still hard to move and I have a pounding headache. I managed half an english muffin but had to have a nap after that great effort.
Went out to try to get everything ready, we're planning a weekend trip to Brainard leaving Friday. Cleaned and filled feeders and waterers and put stuff on Apollo's eye. He's no worse for wear thankfully.
Looking at his fence all the seams are weak. I remember from last year that the snow pushes at the fences and they need to be restrung, wish I remembered that before I let Apollo out yesterday! I think it was Monterey who whooped him, which is weird because he hardly has a mark on him. Roosters are jerks in the spring, stupid hormones.
Came in had a nap, an apple, another nap. Packed for the trip, looking back I think I was dehydrated, at least that explains the clothes I packed. Everything mismatched and for some reason I packed knee high socks, maybe I was cold?
When I went to put the chickens to bed I see Leif huddled in the corner covered in blood. At this point I may have screamed something that rhymes with mitt very loudly, who can say for sure? I brought him in and cleaned him up.
Leif only has one eye, he lost the other one to an infection after a fight with Pi (who went to live on a farm in Milaca) so I was devastated ~the dehydration may have made me over dramatic but come on!~ when his remaining eye was swollen shut. I put a cold wet cloth on it and prayed the swelling would be gone by tomorrow when we're supposed to leave.
