For all the scratchy symptoms:
Pine needle tea with rosemary, simmer for 15 minutes and drink. It's delicious. Pine needles are supposedly the highest in vitamin c. It removed a tooth abscess within 2 days for me.
Another recipe is:
Coconut oil, plus honey plus cinnamon, stir, then cool and make into teaspoon size balls, then refrigerate or freeze. I just take a table spoon, scoop some coconut oil, sprinkle cinnamon and enjoy it, then a teaspoon of honey...

I rediscovered organic apple cider vinegar tea over the past few days. Did it because of a dry cough that was driving me nuts. Cup of hot water, 2 tablespoons ACV with "the mother", tablespoon of honey and if you want, a teaspoon of lemon juice. It really does help. And it tastes pretty good, really, sort of like hot apple cider.

Mmm hot lemon tea with honey is my go-to for scratchy throats. Never tried ACV in it, but I know it's good for ya!

We are sitting in the 60s every day recently, and in the short term forecast. Nice, but very weird for January. Typically January temps are closer to highs in the low 40s. The bees were out like crazy so we took the opportunity to do some free feeding with sugar water. Worries me if it gets cold again before anything can bloom they will starve.

My chickens are starting to kick in to lay with the warmer weather, too! 23 eggs today- woohoo! The last few days we were sitting about 18 per day. A few weeks ago it was 5 per day. Spring is on it's way!

Man I have not been on this thread in a long time!! How are you all?? Here are some pics of my girls!! And turkey boys. We have 58 hens but it is hard to get pics of them all. I would love to add some Icelandics to our flock and maybe some Brabanters. Sorry for photo bombing your thread Mary...

LOVE THOSE PICTURES. So then, cats do not hunt chickens?

Beautiful, I'll put it on my wish list
