I had one of those tables early today where I felt like I was their b%tch. A lot of " i need..." And " would you be a dear and...." Half the table was great but a handful of the people just needed/expected SOOO much over and over. 💗One lady complained that the bathrooms were locked...they were in use....it was just weird. Had a few other weird people with odd requests, but I think I just got started irritated. It's already been a long week and it's Wednesday. Hope y'all are holding up better than me. Glad to be busy but I might be getting old😂

We're trying to implement a rewards/penalty system using points. We're small with a solid staff just trying to keep it fun. I can only find expensive systems for big corporate departments. Anybody else have something like this at work?

So I just lost 2 of my sweet ladies in one week. Both were Copper Marans just over a year old and laying well. Both sudden death with no obvious cause. I took the second one into the state lab for fear of bird flu. The good news is it was not that. The bad news is that it was Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Syndrome....and probably could have been prevented...I think.

I feed 16% protein feed with meal worms and black oiled sunflower seeds for snacks. I also got some "scratch" to throw out for them as a treat/activity. The scratch is mostly cracked corn...a heavy carb that contributes to FLHS as do meal worms and sunflower seeds. I feel terrible.

All of my birds go out in a yard for the day and none seem "fat." But these girls died from a hemorrhaged liver...breaks my heart. I've had birds for a few years and never had anything like this happen.

I hope this information helps someone else. We are no longer giving treats other than fruit and vegetables.
