Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Tom went to bed around 6. He will be up half the night

I really want to go to bed now. I am so sleepy and have not had any meds since this afternoon. I know I could lay down and go right to sleep but if I did I'd be awake by 2am and not able to go back to sleep.

Shall we make some noise?

Sophie can't walk so she is never in a cage. She sleeps on a pallet in front of Ma's chair. When she is put down a couple feet away she will work at it until she can rest her head on Ma's foot.

Hopefully it was with its mother and littermates until you took it home. They learn a lot from them.

Yes, but the bigger siblings were beating him up pretty bad. They outweighed him by twice. I mean he weighed 10# and they weighed 20#.

Yak on fire! Those are really cool.

Mine is. I have 8 dogs. They bring in alot of dirt.

Mine is too. Three dogs, two cats. They're bringing leaves in with them now. And hair up to here.

Yay! She may be a survivor!!

That's good for her but ... if it is that disease, she'll be a carrier. Though I guess it doesn't matter since she's never around the other chickens.

Granny, the Dr always asks DH if he is taking his B-12. Being low in B-12 affects the memory and can leave permanent memory loss. But he's at the point where he forgets to take it off not reminded

I think feed can make a difference, but so can life style
I used to help at neighbors who had caged chickens. They become like zombies. Poor things

Yes. Exercise and mental stimulation are so important to the development of the young brain. The neurons are all there at birth, but exercise forms the connections, or dendrites, during a brief window shortly after birth.

She's got the best life

Tom has always had problems with confusion when he has UTI

Sophie was about 3 months old when injured. Some of her hatch mates are starting to lay now. I don't care if she never lays. I just like having our conversations several times a day.
