Hurricane Advice

[Ursuline Chick]

Geez, with Jose, Lee, and ("Maria, it'll soon be a storm named Maria") to keep an eye on, I'm beginning to feel a bit dizzy.

Just have to keep hoping and praying.

Yep, and the hurricane prep (like extra feed for the animals) at the ready.

I will take our "critters and varmints" any time....sharks and poisonous spiders....I can't even do house spiders! OH...and snakes!!! You guys have major snakes too! Don't even get me started on the time I reached into a nesting box to get eggs and touched a black snake curled up underneath....

That is why Ikeep limb loopers by the coop door.

I tried my hand at camp nursing one year...and that particular year was bad for the brown recluse spider. I can handle a lot of "gross stuff" but after seeing what those things did to the kids' skin....*gag*

Dr had me mix neosporen and a nitro tab on a bandaid for recluse bite. Bite deoxygenated while Nitro reoxygenates....no damage.

Wait what's wrong with living around a bunch of seniors? I wish we had a few more seniors in our neighborhood, like we did pre Katrina, kept the kids in line a little more.. Of course, I am a senior so I guess I am sort of biased.

I resymbol that age group.

Haha they aren't technically my seniors! They are residents of a private care/palliative care senior living center. I worked there for fifteen years and this year I've been volunteering my weekends doing animal therapy. I've been taking my girls but they're becoming women so for a couple of months a couple of us have been busting our humps to get the seniors some chickens of their very own. Im still going to visit on the weekends to check on things I can't abandon my oldsters.

thats awesome!!
i am trying to get my daughters school to have a flock prob wont happen but would be cool if it could!

Really good info, most people have access to or know someone who has nitro tabs, could actually save more than cosmetics.

I think a few of my seniors about had heart attacks. We've been keeping the chickens a secret just doing polls and naming games as a funtime activity. As far as any of them knew the work going on outside was going to be a fountain. Names are Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, Sophia, Ginger, Ollie and the Roo is Stan. Dirty birds though as soon as they got put in the run you know what happened lol! Only comment "we finally got something good to watch! " They are already talking about hatching dibbies, worse than kids.

We have taken chickens to pet blessings for our daughter's school, when she was in lower school. And we weren't the only one's there with chickens. LOL

Back when I was up north a lot of schools would "rent a nice tractor with a few girls and 3 or four hatching eggs and the classroom incubation kit. They'd only do it for a couple of months... The guy who did the renting, could hit three sometimes four schools with the same tractor and girls. He'd bring the chicks back to finish brooding at his place.

Love the "Golden Girls" theme, give yourself a pat on the back from me, what a lovely kindness you have done for these people!
