WEll we made it back to Tennessee about 1:00 this afternoon. Got home to lots of problems with the home flock. The neighbor who I asked to watch and care for stuff,won't be asked again! Its cold here like it was in Okla.,the shed where the baby chicks are was wide open,no covers over the brooders,but other than being really cold none of the chicks were dead,yet! No so good in the loft,the light went out of that brooder where the mid size chicks can collect when its cool. So they bunched and four were dead. Then the coop where the biggest young birds are was totally ignored,no food or water for three days! I feed two kinds of feed, one was barely touched the other was totally out. And two hens hatched ,one managed to keep hers in the nest,the others got out and fell to the ground where they chilled andd died. He later said"yeah that hen over there hatched but when I tried to get the chicks like you said she pecked me,so I left her alone! GRRRR! A grown man afraid of being pecked by a bantam!Oh well so much for my rant. Next time I am going to hire a pet sitter to come in I think!
All birds made it home and are enjoying food and water and stretching their wings(except the bunny,its stretching its legs!lol.
Really had a great time. And so many friendly people. I did miss seeing Stimp,Was he there? I sure hated not reconnecting with him.
Shavon I really like the babys,they set in my lap most of the way home! Their colors are going to be so cool!
Thanks agin to everyone. I hope everyone makes it home safely!!
