.
unfortunately as a new goat mom I didn’t know anything close to catch this, caused by an infection most likely following a recent banding procedure one of my goats “Scooby” passed away from this , not from the lack of effort by myself , Medications and Dr Price @ Black creek Vet in Middleburg … He was such a handsome little guy …
How anything is able to bloom in this heat is amazing

Chicken mites oh my .. the flock of 42 is out playing on the yard free ranging while the coop is getting treated
Dedicated to all our fallen and active duty men and woman. As a parent of a son who served his country with two tours. I am thankful for all the sacrifices they make.
Amidst the desert sands dawn just begun,
battle rages on, bombing veils the rising sun.
A boy not yet a man holds a picture to his heart,
of loved ones not forgotten though oceans keep them apart.
Called to serve his country, land of freedom home of brave,
risking his existence for the lives that he may save.
Concealing his dismay he holds his head up high, in hopes that he 'll come home safe without out the need for sacrifice.

update on my first hatchlings from march 31st they are now in my sons pen in their new home and doing well so far…
Looks like we have the start of a case of wry neck on recent newbie 3 weeks old .. so I am going give it 24 hours to fix itself and if not going to go with my internet treatment I will let you know how it goes …
What is Wry Neck?
Wry neck— sometimes called “crook neck,” “twisted neck,” or “stargazing”—is a condition that typically affects newborn chicks, and sometimes even full grown chickens. If you notice that your bird has difficulty standing, that its neck twists, or it looks like it’s permanently looking upwards, they’ve likely developed wry neck.
Typically this condition is caused by a genetic disorder, a vitamin deficiency, a head injury, or from ingesting toxins. Regardless of how your bird developed wry neck, it’s likely that the affected chick won’t be able to hold its head up on their own. This will cause it to fall over or lie on its back, have difficulty eating, and may lead to the bird’s death.
The garden is coming along 🙂
