hello all-
I havent been here in a bit- worked all weekend- we moved to a new building, and I clocked 98 hours in two weeks.
Thats my good news.
Bad news is- my pit bull and my Golden got into my hen yard- due to my eleven year olds' error. They killed everything I cared about. Both my mama's and their babies: my turken and my silkie and my frizzle babies. My 'teenage' roo and his silkie sidekick, and my Easter egger.
So, I think I am done. I am not raising chickens for my disgusting dogs entertainment. If my son was gone off to college, or grown and gone, I would have put his dog to sleep. THe ole SSS method. Im stuck with the Golden- thats my husbands hunting buddy- however, my days of calculated nutrition are over (thats what I do- Im a nutrition counselor/veterinary technician). They can have whatever cheap dog food my husband wants to buy them at the grocery store. No more measurements, no more canned food. They can get to be as fat as they are long- I don't care. If they want to walk them, thats great- because our relationship is over.
If I cant have chickens, the dogs cant have perks.
Im still deciding- but I may give up the rest of them, and will be looking for homes. Or, if my brother in law lets me get rid of all those roos, I will put them over there. I wont sentence them to death by roo though. Once my eggs in the 'bator hatch, I am going to put away my incubators too.
So, thats why I havent been around. Hope all is well- you know I cant read back that many pages to my last post to find out.
