Went to TSC earlier to pick up some feed for the chickens. Normally they free range and get scratch daily but now that the ground is freezing their will be next to no bugs to be found...so time for them to start eating money. Because of my chickens variety of ages they are getting a mix of layer pellets, starter/ grower medicated crumble and cracked corn. I was being dive bombed by guineas as I was mixing the feed (they're able to fly up to the rafters and get into the feed mixing area easily 
All 52 chickens are accounted for tonight and I don't have any that appear sick at the moment
Though every night we have to go to the buck barn to get one of Fluffer's nugget roos. Every morning when we let the chickens out he squeezes under this tiny spot in the fence and has that entire field to himself during the day...and every night he puts himself to bed under the hay rack in the buck barn. Crazy little nugget.
T-Bone is growing horns At 7 1/2 months old I would have thought they would have been noticeable before now...but he's now got 1 inch long horns. Gonna have to deal with those.
I'm gonna have to go back on the toast diet. For the past few days, I've had to take Prilosec, Carafate, Pepcid Complete and Mylanta (yes all of them several times a day) just to manage the pain. Not to mention the phenergan for nausea. Last night I was so desperate that I even downed a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. My biggest fear with this is that it can lead to stomach or esophageal cancer. It's been 4 months since my diagnosis and the Carafate should have healed the problem in 1-2 months. Everything that I'm taking is under doctor's orders (except the ACV). Guess the good news is that I'm gonna lose some more weight eating nothing but toast...but it makes me really weak. Last time it took a week before I could eat anything else.
