Lillies are Planted

Some wonderful people donated lillies to mark Sylvie's grave. To all of you, thank you, you are all a true blessing. I planted them today so they will come up in spring.

Sylvie is buried right next to my dear Maleficent.

The vet was also was not a great help either. She was as uncertain as I was about which way to go.

You might try taking a panel of chicken wire or something and blocking Sansa or the others while hanging with them all, and everybody being in a group and seeing eachother even though blocked. Like some food or treats on the group side and Sansa gets the special meal with the calcium on the other. I've done that with the wire door between the coop run and the big run. So they all eat together, but it lets the one eat at their own pace while no one else can hog that serving (looking at you, Popcorn!). Hazel needed the encouragement of others eating with her and it worked.

Two things to add @BY Bob - just don't put too many citrate pills into your dedicated small & cheap coffee grinder at once and it will work great. Tip: do not use the household coffee grinder when crushing flavored Tums unless you want a divorce

Also - remember @Kris5902 got pink eggs with the berry flavor Tums? If you use the red and pink Tums exclusively that will happen. This is your entry into easter eggs, at last!!!

I love everything about this post. Some solid advice, sone giggles and a memory. I miss @Kris5902. Does anyone know how she and her animals did in the storms?

Calcium Supplements and Chick Food

I think this is where i am settling right now on what to do with Sansa. Now I just need to pick a means of supplementing.

Indeed. Colored eggs at last. Sounds like a strategy.

You are all so sweet. There are not enough words.

They are amazing and perfect. I have never heard of them before. They are beautiful. I planted them blindly trusting you all completely. I was right to do so.

We’re so glad you approve of the choice!

I really have never heard of them before. They are the perfect remembrance.
