Hi

My MIL is going home to die on hospice, that's what is going to happen. I am starting to get eggs. Olandsk dwarf, tolbunt, CCL so it looks right on time for Spring eggs or maybe even early. I may or may not be around. I might be here just to distract myself.

All my chickens are set up it only took me 45min to do all the chicken chores today.

Thank you for all your concerns and well wishes.

So sorry to hear!

Rachael,

to you and your husband. Having been there before I am familiar with what you are going through. Know that we are all here to talk with or be a sounding board. I am so sorry you all have to go through this. I am praying your MIL does not suffer.

The quail I put into lockdown this morning (day 15)?

And the popcorn popping begins!

So I had a chick hatch a couple of days ago that has a slipped achilles tendon. I tried the chick walker thing and he/she HATED it. kept flipping out if it and constantly conplaining once I strapped her in so that she couldn't get out. and I was having trouble getting her to eat and drink.

But I am so pleased with myself...I made a contraption out of whittled down popsicle sticks that I taped on either side of her hock to keep the tendon where it needed to be and not slip to the side and it's working!!! she can bend her leg and is starting to learn to use her muscles like normal!!!!

Can you post pictures of the chick with the stick splint and how you did it? Would be great to have for future reference.

I have 6 OE chicks from KYTinpusher, and 3 more pipped! I put 24 eggs into lockdown. Hatch day is tomorrow so lots of early hatchers. These are my birthday chicks. I hope a few of the SFH hatch! It is snowing like crazy here! Lake effect snow. I bet over 6 inches so far and still snowing heavy!







The evil ducks my neighbors hate:

We don't have anywhere near that amount of snow and I hope we don't get it either. It is snowing though and I'm glad it's a powdery snow, not the wet heavy snow.

I kinda like the powdery snow verses the sticky wet kind. not used to it , though. it is weird. you cant make a snowball with it.

It's easier to shovel though and doesn't stick to the netting over the pens.
