Surviving Minnesota!

Hello chickeners . . . .
Returned from the north country about noon. I expected to find one dead CLB in the kennel by the back door. But nope! There she was - waiting for me. She communicates by purring. So I brought her in last Friday and gave her water and some fermented feed and said see ya on Sunday - maybe. There she was - the water was down but not the food. I cleaned up the kennel, gave her clean water and then filled a small container with feed, worms and some grit and sunflower seeds. She ate for an hour. Now she is doing her convulsing thing - AGAIN! Ugh! She is not showable. She definitely has something wrong. I will hang in and keep trying to find out what it is but eventually this is not going to work out anymore. Even if she starts to put on some weight I will be happy. Anything for encouragement. She is in the house, in the kennel, alone so very little stress. She was never with a flock at her previous home or here. She is just off in a corner by herself. I wonder what to do.
 
Hello, haven't been on in a week or so.

Banty, Rubber horse feed bins work great for dux water...kind of.

I sure wish my SS was like yours @memphis . I have one, who is constantly pacing around and is scared of everything.

It's been raining here all day and last night. Had a 4-h meeting today. I'd like to cut down on birds for the winter but it probably wont happen. I have 5 2014's, 5 2015's, 3 2016's and 4 2017 chickens, then the 11 (soon to be 8) Big ducks and 2 Calls. *sigh* I need a barn. 4 coops is too many to manage...
Lot's of tomatoes and acorn squash here. Harvested bean seeds for next years planting this week. First time doing this, so still experimenting. :)

Send your ducks over to Ralphie for the winter. He wouldn't mind keeping them for you. He especially would like the calls for Judy.

Just whack the heads off the 2014 hens and possibly the 15s at that age they are about done anyways.
