Well this rain certainly put an end to my planned day. Went out into the shop and checked on the new birds in the brooders. The Vorwerks have most of their body feathers and have changed color from dark brown to a light gold color. Their fuzzy little yellow heads are just starting to exhibit the tiniest of black feathers. I will be glad with their feathers are completely in.

Made a real boneheaded move a little while ago. I've carried a knife on me since I was 8 years old so you would think that I would know how to use one. I also keep my knifes razor sharp. The plexiglass window on my new brooder was loose and needed to be reinstalled. To do that I needed to remove the hot glue from the rabbeted area of the lid. Using the knife blade I was slicing off the glue. Somehow I let the knife slip and sliced my right index finger. The cut is quite long and deep but before I could bleed very much I clamped in off and bandaged it. I need to unbandage it to see if I should go get stitches but I keep putting it off.

It looks like on Tuesday I will be meeting up with Michelle and several other BYCers near Lennon. I sure am looking forward to it. It really is nice to be able to actually put names with faces.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Have a great day and I hope you do exactly what you want.
I'm gonna be spending the day at home. Been at my son's house today celebrating my daughter's b-day, my grand-daughter's b-day and mother's day. Sure was a long day! Glad to be home and I'm gonna hit the recliner. Nite all....

Hello! Hope everybody had a wonderful day! Just made some of MJ's chocolate chip cookies. Very good! Finally felt like doing something. This sinus/allergy stuff has me drained!!!!!! Hopefully I'm on the up side of this junk now. Hope all moms have a great Mother's Day tomorrow!

good gosh, don't even apologize! you're a mom and had a cold. that's plenty enough to handle without worrying about a recipe. worry about getting better instead.

Crystal, good night and sleep well. Happy Mother's day to you also. Sweet dreams!

Good morning everyone and Happy Mothers Day!

I need help. I sent my hubby to the farmer to pick up layer and oyster shell for me. He came back with layer and a bag of calcium (looks like powder/mash). I'm not sure how to give this to the chickens????? Do I mix it with their layer or give it to them like scratch??? Can anyone help?

Thank you -

Kathy
