Stupid chickens....................
Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

Ethel Update.....
Poor girl was on the deck most of the day yesterday. Lucy came up to pay her a visit in the afternoon. She still had the runs and really wasn't interested anything, but she did eat some mushed banana, a small bowl of thinned out oatmeal, the inside (without the seeds and skin) of a small tomato from our garden and drank a lot of water. At night she went into the coop with the others. This morning she came out with the rest and ate a tiny bit of her feed which I had crushed. When I picked her up to check her over I noticed she has lost an awful lot of weight. Very boney, but had no runny poo today. I just finished giving her a couple tablespoons of turkey dinner cat food which she just gobbled up. She's hungry and that is a good sign, but I have to watch what she eats. She'll be on a soft diet with no raisin treats. Electrolytes are being added to her water for the rest of the week, also. I hope she gets back to her miserable self soon. I would really, really miss her.
