Thanks Karen. It seems like I'm taking losses from all directions. Makes me feel like quitting sometimes. *sigh*

 

[redtailgal]

Nope, sorry, there is no quitting.

NO quitting is allowed in farming.

My mim told me once "God didnt give you a spine so you could be a quitter! USE the spine He gave you, and overcome your obstacles!"

I loved my Mim.

Your going thru a rough spot, hang in there Chic, things always work out. Besides, you've got something lots of poor unfortunate folks dont have..........Backyard Herds!!!

Now, hopefully, your pumped, your pysched, your at least grinning a little.

I gotta go make a lizard salad and a old world lasagna pie.

So it seems that one of last night's missing chickens has returned because I am only one short from what I'm supposed to be. 50 chickens / 7 guinea / 3 ducks safe and sound tonight.

I was walking the field just before dark and was somewhat startled to find that we gained 2 ducks. A lovely Mallard and his lady have taken up residence at the big pond.
