Poor Hen

 One of our hens is egg bound.

We soaked her in a warm epsom salt bath for about 15 minutes, then I put some KY lube around her vent and put her in a dog kennel to dry off.  About 3 hours later she wasn't looking any better so we inserted a syringe (no needle) of Mineral Oil into her vent, placed the chick brooder in the kennel to keep her warm and put her back in, covered. I hope shes alive and well in the morning and has an egg to show for it.

Gary came over to trim horses hooves, all 3 were shits. Joey has a small wound on his front right coronet band so I had to doctor that. He's had his blanket on since christmas and I took it off today & he looks great. I'll leave it off as long as he continues to look OK, if he starts losing weight it will go right back on.

Wifi is fat but shes not sore like usual right before a trim.

Ambleside is now 14.3hh at the withers and shes very thick, heavy and fat. I may never be able to ride her!

Tomorrow Lan will be 58 years old and I bought him a $400 chainsaw plus out another $100 cash in his card. I'll bake his cake this evening and ice it in the morning. Last year he had 57 candles nut this year hes only getting a few.

The video from my 50th birthday has had 348k views.
