MORNING EVERYONE!!!
Hope you all are safe and warm. Ok, I surrender!!! There is no way I am going to be able to catch up on all the chatter, whew!
sunshinemartini!!! glad to see you! Pull up a roost and welcome to the flock!
All this chickie care talk makes me remember my last batch of little fuzzy butts, many years ago (when I lived on a farm outside Clintonville). Boy, I must have done everything wrong but they all made it. I just put them in a big cardboard box with old dishtowels on the bottom (and over the top when I wanted to quiet them down, etc.) and little dishes for food and water. As for heat??? I put the box behind my big wood cookstove in the kitchen! At night, just to be sure, I would put bricks I left warming in the oven, then wrapped in a light cloth, into the box with them. I raised a box full of Andelusians and colored Cochins that spring with nary a loss and all were healthy
Oh how ignorance must be bliss
Speaking of cute chicks, my big girls aren't happy this morning with their lockdown so they got a nice bowl of warm steamed oatmeal with a little skim milk for breakfast. Last I checked they were too busy slurping away to complain.
Hubby is determined we are going over the river and thru the potato fields to town today for the car's scheduled oil and rotation. Yeah, he could do it but it is still well under it's warranty (2012) and he likes them to give it the once over as well. Oh well, gives me an excuse to go "window shop" @ FF across the street. I need a couple things to set up my brooder for my little puff balls coming in a few weeks.
Hope everyone is staying safe and all critters are warm and well. Hugs and prayers
to anyone I missed that are having hard times. Special hug to Dr.H and Mel and her kitty.
