    Almost pecked to death...can she be saved? UPDATE

    Ruby is doing well. I thought a bath to freshen her up since she doesn't have open wounds would be good. But right afterward she seemed really sick. I think it was because she was cold. So I covered her with a towel and put her in the warm sunshine. In no time she was back to normal. Too scary...

    Almost pecked to death...can she be saved? UPDATE

    Today we had a little adventure. We went to the chick cage and hung out with the other chicks. For the most part the other chicks didn't mind her. She was able to go up and eat right next to them. She is definitely the littlest which is probably why she got targeted. The other chicks did get a...

She wants attention. The best part my husband gets a towel picks her up and she just sits on his belly while...

    How do I dissolve niacin capsules into water?

    I bought the same niacin. Two ways to work with what you got. . You can disolve the capsules a day ahead of time. Or you can crush the tiny beads in a bowl for quicker results. I personally don't have time to crush so everyday I put one capsule and warm water in the smallest of Tupperware then...
