Chickens love left overs

A Blessed day to you Readers, it is sunny, chilly and invigorating day; wheel chair people were here several hours; a new chair delivered for one, an fitting for a new chair for another and an adjustment on another new chair. Thankful for good people in the company we use for medical equipment for our children.

I have made bread today, 5 loaves. Sweet smelling savor in the house.

Last week we cleaned out the freezer to make way for the steer we had processed; I have purple hull peas, rice, chicken and carrot mix, pumpkin, and various other vegetables. I am taking portions of this food and heating it just enough to be almost cooked and giving some to the chickens daily. They love it and with 20 chickens it only takes a few minutes for them to devour the food. It saves a bit on the regular feed, which means a bit of savings on buying. Every little bit helps in my thinking. I have enough left over foods for almost several weeks. I suppose the only draw back is the chickens get use to this type of 'treat' and come running to the fence every time I go out to do something around their pen thinking I have the left overs for them and then seemingly turn their beaks up at the pellets they normally get. I think I can mix some of the 'left overs' in with their regular pellets and see how that will go over.

I hope all is well with what ever your hands are put to today. Blessings abound in Christ no matter what.

In Joy
