hopefully that ought to unfry this tired old brain.
my list to-do's is getting long...get some money down on the vet bills so i need to figure out the fairest way to split up what we have, the mp building animals need care...barn feeds/litter to pick up, potential adopters for poppy to meet, plus i do need to get going on my own laundry in anticipation of going back to work next week...but i might put that off until tomorrow if i run out of time.
i wanted to fix up the bottom pasture but i do need some rain in the forecast to get going on that. it will mean a couple of days on the tractor...not sure how my back feels about that. plus there are some battery hens hanging in baskets from a wall i saw recently that i want to try to get up here and give them a better life for a little while....oh and someone please remind me...dusty needs to be in maple ridge tomorrow at 0830 for her blood sugar curve....and i have a new potential staff person coming up for a tour.
sigh...i guess i better let this day begin.
Battery hens are egg laying hens whereas broiler hens are meat birds.
bottom line .... they spend their life in a cage in cramped conditions and never set foot on ground. I think mama duck .... may soon become manm hen too!!!!
