Hawk attack update
It's been a tough week for
the White
Leghorn hen.
Today she came out of the
coop scratching around like her old self.
When I saw her up and about
the first thing I thought she could use is some warm scrambled eggs and
Anna agreed. With any luck she'll be able to re-join the flock in a few
more days.

hot mash...?
I read in an old book on keeping poultry that in the winter they need not oatmeal or not corn meal mush (mash)...They need something hot!! Do they?

Hot mash
Mom --- That's a good question. I do sometimes make warm oatmeal when I'm worried about a bird, but warm scrambled eggs seem to hit the spot more. Our chickens handle the cold very well, although they do stay in the coop when it gets really wet or snowy. I think what chickens can really benefit from on a cold morning is actually warm water!
