...is not doing well and I pray something will happen - one way or the other. It breaks my heart to see him and not be able to help him even though I have read more literature and am trying some suggested solutions. But the literature also notes that a chick who requires hand feeding and intervention so soon after hatching ie in first week, very seldom survives.
I spent the whole day cleaning out the ice hut - this has been left for over 20 years filling up with stuff and also home to squirrels and chipmunks and mice etc filling it with pine cones, and making bedding with paper and cloth or whatever they could find. The bottom is made of wood and has of course, rotted in places. But I cleaned it out and now it depends on the person who wants it whether he'll take it as is. It is being given to him so there are no obligations on our part.
Last evening we attended the Candidates Meeting at the Arena - it was standing room only and we heard from the two Mayoralty candidates and one Councillor - all the other three Councillors were acclaimed, and the other person running for Council was unable to attend. Lots of interesting questions came from the audience and in spite of me not giving too much credit to these sorts of meetings, it was very evident who I did not want to vote for so thankful i went. i shall have to go to the advanced pools as on Election day i have to be in Parry Sound for Jury summons.
We have to pick up the turkey at 7 pm tomorrow up the highway a bit. I asked her to take it out of the freezer in the morning, hoping that it will start to thaw as we plan to cook it Friday.
Now I must close up - put the birds to bed, try to feed the little one, and hopefully get some sleep - has been tough when i am up every three hours around the clock to care for the little chick.
Take care
