Thought I would drop a note before I go to bed. Family are coming in, so much to do. I am so far behind. My kitchen is a fright, my refrigerator is turning in to toxic wast. In an other week it will all be fermenting, in two it will be food again. :/ Not sure I want to try it tho. The first food I liked then found out how and what it is is FISH SAUCE. My pure girls have had food shoveled at them, on the other hand I have not been kicking them out of the garden. Note on my state of house: Starting about 5 days before mom passed on I had been in the emergency room 6 times for uncontrollable noise bleeds and panic attacks. So my girls and my house have been on their own for 8 or 9 days.
My girls coop should have been cleaned last week, you know how it is. There are jobs that really have to be done when you have responsibility of animals. It is imposable to center your world around yourself, which is a blessing.
To day I got a call from a BYC member, she lives about 32 miles from me and 41 miles from another member that was in need of immediate help. I do not know what happened, City Farm, rightly, did not believe it was her place to tell me what was going on. When I got there, the family was in a state. All the animals had to go by tonight.
We found homes for most, several Roosters will be processed tomorrow by a skilled member that volunteered to take them. They were slated for camp freezer at some point in their lives. City Farm delivered every one of them to their new homes. I need to reduce my flock, I really planed originally on 6 to 8 chickens, but chicken math keeps getting in the way. Now I have no excuse to keep a flock of 12 to 15 chickens. But I took in to foster 7 chicks and a Silkie.
She was very dirty when I went back to get her, ( we couldn't catch her, so waited until she roosted). She is stunning. I do not have a quarantine area available. So I powdered her then after an hour bathed her, an puffed dried her. She seemed in good shape, didn't see mites or lice, but took no chances. I think I have already found a home for her with someone that has Silkies.
And lastly, these are the fuzzy butts in my make shift brooder. I have 4 that hatched on the 13th the day mom died. I didn't want to mix them until I know the orphaned 7 are healthy. I think it will be easy to find them good homes.
