Hi ChooksChick, good to see you back and that you are still in the chicken business. You were just getting out as KKB and I were getting started. The chicken math got to us and we have more than we have room for, so, no more, until we get more pens. (Famous last words, right
)
That my dear is affectionately called danzsizing.
Trish, glad therapy went better today. I think you should get a wheelchair, that way you could still putz around the house without being on the leg so much. And maybe you could get a little more sympathy.
I was also thinking that maybe if you got a poster board and wrote down the little things that your DH could do to help you out, (you know how they say they aren't mind readers.)
Danz, I enjoy reading your daily stories. It makes me feel good that there is someone else that struggles with the daily day to day. (Ok, so maybe that wasn't a good way to put it). It's just that it seems we are all in the same boat, just on different oceans. It's hard to lose an animal that has been dependent upon you for its survival, but then the same things happen in nature so I guess we shouldn't beat ourselves up to badly.
LOL sometimes I feel like I am on a little John boat in the middle of the Atlantic!!! Sometimes I feel like I'm on Noah's ark, and sometimes I feel like I'm king of the mountain. Keeps life interesting.
Another reason I don't post as much is because by the time I get the time to sit down and read and reply someone is tapping their foot ready to get out and get something done.
Tell Mr. BeeBoy to just do it himself!
I spent the last two days in Okieland taking care of my bees. Besides encountering a few stings and a couple of dead hives everything looked pretty good. I gave all the hives a candy board just for added insurance to help them make it thru the cold. My hives have a lot of bees and they will eat thru their stored honey pretty fast. Warm days when they get out and fly uses more energy than just huddling in the hive.
We have a cockerel that has a broken leg so we were thinking about processing it but then remembered that we have been giving that group medicated water because of the eye thing. What would you do - eat or just dispose of it?
Do you have any allergies to what you are treating him with? i.e. if it is sulpha drugs are you allegic to sulpha drugs? If not I would just cook and eat him. I've forgotten about that with eggs before and never had a problem even when I do have an allergy to a particular drug. I guess it's up to your particular fears or lack there of. If he is still eating and drinking you could always wait 10 days to 2 weeks to butcher him.
Wild Turkey Bourbon says Hi!
She looks very healthy. Getting all that domestic feed is good for her.
