Cleaning Out The Chicks Boxes... and letting the wild go back to the wild...
Saturday, July 21, 2007
What a messy job it is to clean out a chicks box! I did it yesterday. I had to clean out their waterers with Basic G and scrub them down to get all the yucky stuff out of the bottom. Then I had to fill their feeders. That was very easy to do since I just had to put some feed in them! The hard part was to get all the wood shavings out and put new in! It's even harder when you have about 30 some chicks all fluttering around your hand, trying to peck it!
But I did survive it...got it done and put the waterers and feeders back in. Then put the cardboard slats back on top of the boxes.
Ok...I think I know what the breeds are...let's see...hmmm...I should remember them since Mom told me just yesterday!
There's the Rhode Island Reds...
Then the Buff Orpingtons...
Then we have some Orocaunas... I think that's it! There isn't many breeds, but LOTS of CHICKS!
Well, this is going to be a short entry...this is the end because I can't think of anything else... Ok, if really want me to, I can describe the chicks for you...
They have all got their tail feathers and wing feathers. They are starting to get feathers above their wings. I lifted some of the fluff up to see the skin of one, and I saw little feathers coming in. I'm sure it won't be long before they all loose their fluff and have feathers instead!
A Prayer for the Chicks: One chick is sick, and will probably die, but keep all of them in your prayers!
Oh yes, I'm afraid I must tell you...but I'm let Buggs go last night... I'm not sure what he was still. I'm going to let Carrots go back to being wild when I get a domesticated doe bunny. Pray that God will take care of Buggs when I let him free. Amanda saved him from Pemberly and I'm putting him back to where he came from: the Wild!
