Kat’s Journey into Chicken Keeping

[drstratton]

Good afternoon. I am late to the party this morning. DH got sick at work yesterday - lightheaded, dizzy, nauseated - and I had to take him to ER, where we spent the rest of the day.
After labwork, EKG’s, a Cat Scan of his brain, etc., they decided he is having Vertigo.
So after drugging him up with things that make you high and stoned and sleepy, we left with a prescription for Anti-Vert, came home and went to bed at 7:30 (after I took care of the dogs, cat, ducks and chickens).
And after coughing, sneezing, and itchy sinuses all day, I took all my allergy meds and slept until 8 am this morning.
So, that was a lost day.

I'm so sorry to hear this Kat! I'm very late to the party. I hope you are both feeling better today!

We will keep him in our prayers. Here is a calming chicken photo to share with him.

My girls are enjoying their salad! (Peas, collard greens, and kale).

They certainly look like they are enjoying it...

The white one was still toasty warm, must have been freshly laid. I hope to catch a hen in the act one day.

Is it my imagination or do the girls EAT more since they are laying eggs?
Because I have to tell you, they are gobbling up the food and pooping bigly!!!

Its not your imagination,,,, When egg production is on,,, intake has to equal output.
My girls are on strike for the season, so I hardly see much of the feed consumed. They have feed available in bowl , in run area, and I remove, and secure in metal can for the night.
