My day is not going great. One of my tiny chicks is injured. I have them set up in a little "nest" I made from a red solo cup indoors with a heater. They are not looking too good but I hope they're just tired after a very stressful day and tomorrow they will be perkier. I also had to do a lot of work in the front garden because the rain made everything grow an insane amount and then all the tall plants fell over. I got 3/4 through and suddenly noticed I had broken out in hives all over. 😧

So I'm really allergic to one of my plants. I showered and took Benadryl right away and the rash has faded a bit but it still feels itchy and burnt. I do not like it.

And once again I am not getting everything done today that I had hoped to because of unexpected crappy things happening!

I'll be ok but if you believe in positive energy or prayers or anything like that spare a little good will for my chick! I really hope they pull through. It seems to be an injured leg which should hopefully heal on its own... but the stress alone could kill the poor little thing.

The little guy didn't make it. 😥 I did what I could to try to help them but it wasn't enough.
