During our move last summer, my son Ford called me, crying, with panic in his voice as he said "mom please hurry back. Something is happening to the chickens! They're shaking and foaming at the mouth and dying!!!! Please help me mom!" My eyes are filling up just thinking about that call. It's something that will forever be a gut wrenching core memor for all of us. A couple of my brothers were with us that day and even they get emotional thinking about how they had to watch their tough little nephews turn to mush. We suspect they were poisoned since this happened 45 minutes after we picked them up from our previous home and it isn't the 1st time our animals were poisoned while living at that location. But for every door that closes, God opens another. David ran into one of the neighbors recently and she mentioned she had hatching eggs for sale. Turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, and over 10 different breed of chicken eggs. (All the ones we had from our previous flock). We had purchased 2 incubators last year that we still hadn't used so we figured, why not. The kids (and us parents) are so excited to reignite our love for chicken keeping. next step is building a new chicken coop so be sure to follow if you want to see what we come up with.
