Here are some close-ups of two of my 3.5 week old babies that my Mama hatched.
They are Black Cochin/Dominique or Dom cross sex links.

This is Penguin. You can see why I named him that from his baby picture.

These babies are growing quicker than any other babies I've had.

Chickens really are a mini miracle.
Aren't they amazing?

My great grandma (from Alabama) used to tell me about her grandma that used to treat ear infections by squeezing Bessie bug innards into her ear and she said it worked every time.

How did she even come up with the idea to think of that??

Yea, I'll opt for the antibiotics.

We're controlling them better this year, but still not so great. We have bug spray inside and out (professionally done) so they don't live long, but its a nightmare to keep up with them. I don't even want to talk about my garage. I've surrendered there and will set off a bug bomb in a couple months then go clean them up.

I spent a few nights with friends in Virginia several weeks ago.
They were in the throes of a stink bug invasion. (Aka shield bugs)
Since I used to live there and am familiar with them it cracked me up that they vacuumed every nook and cranny of the whole house from ceiling to floor three times before noon because their northern relatives were coming for a visit. My friend's husband was the one doing the vacuuming! He was afraid the relatives would think they were dirty people.
Even still, that night while I was trying to fall asleep I
Could hear them.......

So is that where the movie, "Beetlejuice" comes from?

No, I'm a school nurse, it was one of my clumsy teenagers! I use what I have to work with, period pads are great for heavy bleeds and padding splints, lol!

They work well on your forehead, on hot days working outside, they keep the sweet out of your eyes. They also work well on your forehead under wet bangs, until they dry, to make them poof out, instead of laying flat on your head.
