Improvement Needed

After all the information that I have been reading regarding genetically modified organisms, I am realizing that I need to do even more.  We have done a pretty good job of eliminating GMO's from our own diet and that of our kitties.  Unfortunately, my chickens and geese are still subjected to GMO corn and soy in the bagged feed that we buy for them.  (well, I must admit that we are getting GMO's second hand through our chicken meat and eggs also.  So even though they are free range, that is not good enough).   We have been buying the feed that does not have the antibiotics as that is the best we can find locally.  It is not organic, though, so most assuredly is genetically modified and thus has the additional problem of having been heavily sprayed with pesticides.   One step at a time.   I have been thinking about buying organic seed and sprouting it for our birds.  There is a feed mill in Arthur where I can order it.  

New Momma Hen!

Yesterday one of our Cornish hens became a new momma!  She has been setting on eggs since March third and I knew that they would be due any day.  In the afternoon, I saw one cute, fuzzy little black head poking out from her tail feathers.  How exciting!  We were both giddy.  By the time I did my last round at dusk to lock up the chickens and geese, there was another two.  Another black one and this time there was a yellow one with a bit of black marks on his head.  He was still damp and there lay two perfectly halved egg shells under the momma hen.  Fast forward to this morning, and I found three more little babies.  I guess I will be setting up a little private caged in area for the new little family today.
