Surviving Minnesota!

[lvie]

Dear Chickeners - Good Morning still.

Ralphie, I am going to do grandma duty shortly otherwise I would have loved to participate in the Chicken bath time.

Guess What???? Its a miracle!



This is the injured RIR that disappeared early this past week. I thought a Hawk or Eagle grabbed her although I questioned that or did not understand it because the dogs and I were both out in the yard and a few free-ranging hens. I was setting up a hospital room for her in the coop and boom! she disappeared. I looked off and on for her for four hours.

Well, I went into my garage, which I have been in and out of several million times this week taking care of chicks in their brooder and just doing stuff, and there she was!!! Imagine that? I cannot understand how she survived in there on her own for a week. So now she is in a 'hospital' bed with food and water in the coop.

I am one happy woman this morning. I really missed her. I realize she will be a special needs bird and I am willing to take care of her as a special needs bird. Her breast area looks awful still. But, obviously, she has chosen to survive.

Off to Marties to get Turkey food for the protein.

Here is some pictures of my roosters leaving this morning.

The Nice Asian lady and her son came today, in a truck this time and took away these roosters.

They saw a dead squirrel I had just shot and he asked if he could come hunt squirrels! Hopefully, he can remove all of them for me!

What a unique transportation idea! I'm sure it works well

That's one I haven't seen yet. They will zip tie two together by the legs and lay them in the back too when they come here. That is a good use of those plastic bags though, I guess. I have a boat load of plastic feed bags. I hate them! At least with the paper I could burn them. I can't, in good conscience throw them in the dumpster. I did find someone who took a bunch to make totes to sell at a craft sale. If I had time, I would do that, but obviously I am lacking in time to do any foo-foo stuff.
It's a bit cloudy here and supposed to rain a little. I will be washing birds tomorrow here since it is supposed to be nice out. I have to move a bunch around on Monday after the second batch of CRX goes in to process. I hope my shrink bags get here in time for those ones.

It works well, She brought her own bags but not enough. I also have a ton of those plastic gunny sacks. I was glad to give her some.

My Paper ones are the fuel I use to cremate dead birds. Not enough birds die to use all the bags.

I only did 2 birds today to see how it went. I have a bottle neck in the drying area, I hope to be done by Monday. I know I am running late on this but the weather was too cold and windy last few days.


Weinerhead was the first volunteer and the wild Dom the second. I figured if I killed them in the wash I was not out much. I will work on the better birds later.

Are you going to a show Ralphie?

 

[duluthralphie]

Yes, I am taking some to Hutch next weekend.


BTW you should stop over some day and see some of the cool new breeds I have.
