You made the right decision for you Kelsey. The girls didn't want to stay for the second shot, nor did they want to bring a dead cat home for burial. I thought they might want to. Not the bringing home personally part of course but have her buried at home. But then we didn't bring home the 2 prior cats either.

Yeah, I don’t think I could have watched him die like that. I’d rather just remember his happier days rather than his death and the illness leading up to it. My dad didn’t want to bring Gator home because he didn’t think he could handle carrying his dead body home but also because he’s just so big that the hole would have to be massive and the ground is frozen so we couldn’t dig a hole right now anyway. Plus he was worried animals would dig him up. But we convinced him to at least get his ashes. We will likely spread them somewhere.
 
Dang,weather has been freakishly wet these past couple of days and dumped 2" of rain in 24 hours. Flooded our run for the first time ever...but hubs just spend 2 days putting concrete under the hogwire to secure it and keep critters from digging under. We need to put some filler in the run to raise the level and facilitate the drainage. Any suggestions on what sort of filler would be best? He thinks "pea gravel will be too rough on their little feet"
I'm sure they will eat wood chips or mulch,as they have done so already.
We brought them into the backyard so he could trench off some of the water. They like the patio umbrella and seem to feel like they were invited for a cook out!

Play sand works for chickens and then wood chips or straw. They will not eat the wood chips usually

Sand is kinda what I was thinking. But they eat the stew outta those wood chips. Can't use it in nestboxes or in the hen house floor. The gobble it up. Birdbrains:idunno

Weird!

Do you give them grit? The play sand will work for that too

Well good grief! How did you cut your thumb? Yowee!

Oh, I was trying to cut the thumbnail on my right hand and it's like cutting through concrete....the clipper slipped, sprang back, and the little nail file part that's on the inside of those clippers gouged a big hole in my other thumb and bruised the part that wasn't cut. <sigh> Only a person who could get her nose slammed in a car door could do something else as stupid.

Had to be done..they were starting to break off at the nail bed on the end of my fingers. Now I can't type because I'm not used to the location of the keys in relation to where I used to have to tap them. :confused:
