"I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.... I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby." ~Nancie J. Carmody

Still Dreaming


Remember my dream? Read this yesterday.


Hold the hen so that she is comfortable and her wings are kept at her side. Open the beak with one hand and squirt the liquid in her throat, a little bit at a time so that she can swallow. Don’t shoot it down her open gullet at full-force, or it could get into her lungs. Let her close her beak and swallow. Repeat. If some dribbles out, don’t worry. Wear clothes you don’t care about – she’s bound to shake her head and spray you. Besides, the reason you’re treating the hen is because of that stinky butt…


Don't get me wrong, I am not having second thoughts. I am however realizing that the art of chicken keeping requires a good chunk of your time, and I seem to be coming up a bit short in that department lately. So for right now at least, I will remain a "chicken blog/website lurker.
