YO GEORGIANS! :)



These are my first babies from under a broody hen. They are so adorable running around with all the other girls! They were a little short to reach the waterer, so I "built" them some steps!!!

You know my story about 'Every time I leave home something dies..' Well, had to come to Mobile to see my Mom. On the drive down, my DH called to say one of the baby ducks jumped in the small water dish and got chilled. He just put it in the brooder under the lamp to warm it up, but he didn't dry it off first. Just put it in there sopping wet! It died. Ugh!

Anyway, this is a sad trip for me. My 91 year old Mom is being taking to Texas where one of my sisters lives. She will be in a home there. She will not even know. I will probably never see her alive again as she is losing weight fast and is already a stick. It is sad, but we really lost our Mom years ago. She would have hated this for herself. She always talked about how she didn't want to 'die' before she was dead. You know what I mean? Anyway, it is sad for all of us.


I'm so so sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mom to brain cancer December of last year, it was so hard watching her decline. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. We may just be words on a screen sometimes, but we all care about you here. Big (virtual) hugs :hugs
 
So, in working on the coop today with my grandad (who has kind of taken charge of the job, and that's okay) he proceeds to tell me about raising chickens when he was younger. I knew we always had some chickens around; however, not to this extent. Come to find out in the 40s and 50s they had a house with over 200 layers. He told me they sold to almost all of the grocery stores in the surrounding area. He also told me he was licensed to candle during that time, and he would have to inspect all of the eggs.

Thanks for not adding any pressure to my new adventure Grandaddy...
