Granny's gone and done it again

Rather buy another chicken.

Going to order 6 of these: https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/saipanjunglefowl/

Going to order 10 hens and two roosters of these: https://www.cacklehatchery.com/product/cream-legbar-chicken/

That one with the floppy top. I had one with a floppy top. Blubar.

Don't use a med then. Start counting how many you smoke a day and smoke one less each day. Cold turkey works for some I know. At least 2 members of my family did it. 1 Aunt and 1 uncle.

Granny we grew up hooked on sweet syrupy tea. The one day we started using a tablespoon less of sugar per pitcher brewed each week. After a month or so we could not drink it the old way. That might just be what would work for you. The math says it will but no one knows before they try.

I tried that this last time.

blue eggs right?

Yes. I want to breed them to auction off pullets.

That had to have ruined part of your day. Sorry, not so funny.

Oh, it was a bit disappointing, but at least I hadn't gained!

The Sapphire Gem pullets seem to be pretty fearless and even friendly. When we go out to the brooder, they all rush toward us while the Prairie Bluebells still hang back. One of the Gems sat on DH's hand while he put the fresh jar of water in the brooder this morning. We've never had such friendly or forward chicks before! He says he finally had to shoo her off or she would still be there, lol. Oh I DO hope that doesn't mean she is NOT a she!

I always found the red sexlinks to be super friendly.

Did you just cut back one a day at a time. One a day for a week then one a day more the next week and so on? You can't guess. You would have to write it down or count out for a day and space them out. I think it will work if you don't rush it. Take your time. Better to win the battle over 3 months than to lose it trying to quit in a couple of weeks.. Like I said that's the math thinking. I've never smoked. My brother and I both have lung damage for our dad's constant smoking in the car and house.

I lost 5 lbs while sick with covid. It's still off.

I decided against the CCL when I found out the Prairie Bluebells also (supposedly!) lay a pretty blue egg. We'll see, I guess. I do love Eggers!

I have the roos and hens to produce red sex links now and will start hatching those in a few more weeks.
