Treating a chicken with crook neck

Our shipment of American Barred Holland biddies arrived today. I so love this breed! They are critically endangered and make a wonderful choice for small farms.

To learn more about this breed(and many others), head over to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy.

This is the direct link to Hollands.

One of our new babies has crook neck. Here is my video to show you what I have learned in treating this condition.

New Serama addition and a friend

Sadly after Roosevelt and Victoria returned home last week, the following day Victoria was killed by one of the dogs we had at the time. The dog already had some issues and I had planned to re-home him or take him to the humane society if I couldn't get him re-homed. It just happened sooner than later, the day after my Seramas returned home to us.

Roosevelt had never been alone in his 27 months of life and he was so lonesome. I found a pretty little girl on a new auction site and was able to buy her and she arrived today. We have named her "Dolly" because she has crazy "blonde" hair, much like Dolly Parton.

Enjoy this video I shot today after we arrived home with Dolly from the post office.

Merry White Christmas!

from the Texas panhandle!

We had snow in our forecast twice this past week and didn't get any at all. At one time, that forecast was for at least a foot of snow!

Look what I awoke to this morning:



It is so beautiful and peaceful.

The things I mentioned before are beginning to play out and will be settling down very soon. I am ready! I am ready to get back to posting here and sharing with all my readers.

Merry Christmas to you all.
