Hello SDWDers
Today was productive. Was up before 8am, had the cat at the vet by 8:30 for his biyearly bloodwork, went and picked up some yummy breakfast, bought lots of chicken food and stopped at the local shelter, all before 10 this morning, LOL. Spent some time doing chickenly things this afternoon. got the outside feeders all filled up. Booted the loofah dwarf bantam cochin girl and her buddies out to the big yard, and bumped up the oldest batch of chicks (that is now broodyless) to their very own full sized brooder. They now get the top of the brooder shed, and the crazy RIR/Cochin and her 9 babies get the full bottom. That lady is still craaaaaazy. Some of her chicks are SO CUTE though.
Silkie momma and her 4 babies....and Barred Cochin mama and her 6 babies are all doing just fine.
The big flock did not seem to miss the roosters in the slightest. Of course, I didn't expect them to miss the roosters...would you? ha ha....
My little buff silkie seems to have a broken or dislocated wing. it is sticking up and out a bit. What the heck, no idea what is going on there or what to do about it.
I do have a local family interested in some bantam cochin hens. They want to bring their kids over to let them pick them out.....I bet they would be a great home for the girls. They already have some cochins. And another local lady wanting a pair of girls.
I can feel the downsizing as we speak! LOL.
The rescue won't return my calls or emails, so the adoption of that dog is definitely out. So weird. guess they aren't interested in adopting her out after all. Oh wellllll.....I did decide to maybe look for an older dog elsewhere. I had stumbled across her by accident.....but would love to rescue an old geezer for the holidays.
amy, I loved that picture as well! They look like such a happy family. I used to have hens who would fight over who got to roost next to the big head rooster. Crazy girls.
Speaking of AMY's......both people interested in my cochins are named Amy! What is with AMY's loving chickens? I often trade chickens with Amy an hour west of here and also Amy in SC. DARN YOU AMYS.
