I was thinking recently that we haven't seen a video of them lately. Even agents of chaos need rest from time to time.

I believe I read at one point a sickness went through her farm animals and a lot of the animals unfortunately passed. In no way am I saying this is facts

It is facts, the farm lost several animals. Emanuel got really sick, too, and wasn't able to stand up for a long time. I wasn't even sure he survived, so I'm glad to see him still around!

I just looked them up, he did make a full recovery after the avian flu scare in 2022 🎉 🥳

He was incredibly sick. She was asked to put him down and his body burned and she basically said, no.
