The Old Folks Home

[Nomadicus]

Goodnight Old Folks. I'm up past my bedtime but I have an excuse him note from the doc. I've been feeding and injured juvenile pullet from a dish from my lap. I found her this morning with a wound under her wing. She ate like she was starving tonight and finally started drinking on her own. I expect it will take a few days of this to get her to where she can standup on her own again. She's getting all the egg yolk and starter/grower she wants along with half a B complex a day. She is well over the shock of the injury and we have gained her confidence that we are not trying to hurt her. This little girl has never been handled before with treats and such and is on the flighty side.

Good morning, OF.

Why not just walk? Less wear and tear on joints.

I am/do - averaging over 11,000 steps a day for the year.

Good morning Old Folks. Unless I'm moving feed I'm trying to walk as much as possible between our 10 chicken coops.

Hello

I should get a step tracker and log my step count. I'm walking around on about 3 acres daily. Some up hill.

I just don't carry my cell phone around the farm. My wife gets all the calls because mine doesn't get calls in the lower area we live in. One day I'll replace it with a newer model. I'll get one that I can wear on my waist. I've walked a lot already this morning. Now I'm replacing electrolytes.

It's a humid 92° already and not even 11am yet.

He did great with the scary white van!!! That is already.. almost 8 years back! That was when he was 18, and he will be 26 in the fall.

And thank you! I am incredibly pleased with how well the kids have and are turning out.

Has it really been that long? Wow! Where has the time gone?

LTAY, look into Ubiquiti to increase your wi-fi range, then turn on wi-fi calling. That's what we put in, and get perfect reception on the phones, and all other supported devices. https://store.ui.com/us/en
