Awwwwww ....
I came here to read about Jake then saw about Little Red Hen. I'm sorry. I enjoyed reading what you wrote about her before and she sounded like such a cool chicken.
That's really sad.

Thanks everyone. Sorry I didn't respond yesterday. It was not a good day. I've been in a depressed state I get into lately. Don't want to do anything, can't motivate myself to eat or move. I get so dizzy all the time when I move around and can't finish things I start. With all the money stress Hubby and I keep fighting and he is so sick of finishing my projects. He has been shouldering a big load lately.
We saw an old friend at the grocery store yesterday and about five years have passed since we were quite close. We used to be next door neighbors when I had my nice house and now live 1/2 hour apart, you know how that goes. She looks pretty and happy and ....I feel like she was struck with PITY for me when she saw I can't hear her or have a conversation with her anymore. We used to like to have a glass of wine together and I think first she was suggesting we get together for that, and then she suggested coffee (can't have wine now). But it reminded me of a different time in my life, very social, very connected, involved in everything...and my life is so different now. It kind of ruined my day even though I love her dearly. I don't like these changes.
We barely have enough money to buy enough food for a week and I was supposed to make the money stretch for a month. We finally broke down yesterday and asked my MOTHER for a loan. So I am beyond being capable of being embarassed anymore, if I can ask my 85 year old mother for a loan I can tell you all about it. And at the very least we have at least two more months before SSI would even begin to kick in if we were very very lucky and it could be more than a year.
If anyone would please care to say a prayer that my SSI is approved quickly, it would surely, surely be appreciated. I don't know how they expect disabled people to manage through this process. I feel like I paid into this system for 30 years and this long wait is not very fair since I held out so long. But if you read websites about this topic, it can take much longer so it may be a long long time still. I've decided I do not need to acquire turkeys or more chicks, I'm not sure we will be able to hang on to this property and that is probably a silly investment. I've actually been thinking about reducing my chicken flock down to what eggs the family would consume as well. With the price of feed and the increased difficulty getting my eggs to the buyers, I don't think we are doing more than breaking even, so it is rather pointless.
So these thoughts were going through my head yesterday and in a rather ugly way so I didn't care to share them. I'm a little better today. I realize we don't need so many chickens. We are going to kill the tail-less roo today. This time I'll do it right and let him sit in the fridge a couple days.
My sister is blowing through town on a road trip and I may get a chance to see her, we'll see, but I'm not sure Hubby will let me take the car because of the price of gas so not sure about that yet. My sis is a real good sort and she is at my moms, so seeing them both would sure be nice, but I don't know yet if I'll be able to so I don't want to get my hopes up too much.
