We unfortunately lost two of our hens that were being 'chicken-sat' by friends of ours due to predators.  I don't blame the lady who was taking care of them-these things happen, but I will miss Aurora and Penny.  At least Christina is still there and doing well.
 
Hopefully she will be able to come with us when we move (if we are lucky, that will be within two-three months).
 
BTW, we have interested parites in our current house, so we hope to have an offer soon.  We have made an offer that was accepted for a 4 acre place outside of Fredonia, NY for $48,500. The house has almost everything that we need-over 1900 SF, 4 BR 1.5 baths, room for Hubby's office and 3 workable outbuildings (one for 2 goats, one for poultry, & one for whatever).  We can house the rabbits in the house until a barn is built.
 
Bunny traffic has been very busy; we have some come and go in a good way.  We offically have 32 with us right now, with 76 officially having forever homes since 8-02.  I am hoping for a total of 100 placed bunnies by 8-04 (our second anniversary of DDR)
 
Please keep me in your prayers as I am going through treatment for an MS attack.  I have been dealing with a lot of sporatic pain and getting through treatment with steroids (which burdens everyone else here with my erratic behavior), resulting in my only getting 4-6 hours of sleep a night for the last week.
 
TYIA,
Nefer's Ark
 
BTW, we got a mother cat and her two babies from the farm who is hensitting for us, since people have been dumping strays on them and we have a mouse problem here anyway.  They are so pretty, friendly, and wonderful to have around.

Nefer,
So sorry to hear that you  have not been feeling to well and that you lost some of your chickens... predators are so many...and our means of protecting our selves so few these days... I pray that all goes well and that y'all can get moved and all soon...I know that waiting is the hardest part of anything we want to do in life... I tell you it seems everything is hurry up and wait !
I will keep you in my prayers dear for all things... Please keep us posted on everything and if I can do something to cheer you up or anaything..please just give a holler...Plus, Hug one of those bunnies for me...Aww heck..just hug as many as you feel like for me... We saw some bunnies a week or so ago, at a flea market...they people were selling (petting sessions) I was horrified that those bunnies were being held in pens...just so the folks that owned them could make money from handling and petting them... I did walk up to the booth...I asked them how long they had the bunnies...I forget what they said... I then said something to the effect that did they know that they should be out of the heat in nice clean pens resting at that HOT time of day... I was not wanted around after that..but at least it was said..and several people heard me..and quickly moved away ...maybe in that ...the bunnies might have got to go home early....!
Hope you are feeling better today and that I get to hear from you soon..
Hugs,
Mama

Hi Mama,
 
TY for the reply.  What would help to cheer me up is if you just happen to be on-line, dropping me a visit on my IM I leave it open through out the day since i am on the 'puter sporatically, but I would enjoy chatting.
 
TY for speaking out about the bunny heat concerns; if you come across the situation again, maybe the attached article about heat concerns may be of service to you.  TYIA for spreading the word about bunny care.
 
You may be interested in taking a look at my new shelter site for more bunny information.  Right now I am in the beginning stages, but there is going to be plenty of information about my shelter.  In the future, I am going to need information about poultry care as well, since I plan on having a section about that as well.  The site is at
 
Hugs and sorry if I am confusing due to the steroids I am hyped up on for the MS (BTW, TY for the prayers-I can use all I can receive),
Nefer

Hey Nefer...
Just now getting back to your message... Been on and off here and there all day..but have been catching up a bit at a time on the messages that had not been responded to at all... Then when I logged in this time...McAffee sends a big red flag up telling me about some sort of recent Virus activity..! Scared me to death... I've got everything but this one window closed ...downloaded the thing that they have out to scan my computer to check for this new virus.. Hopefully, it will be done soon, it said the download was only suppose to take like 4 minutes with a 56K modem...but it took almost 15 minutes..and I just started the scan process... hopefully it will finish that quicker and I can holler at you for a bit.. I would love to chat with you anytime..I'm just sorry that I did not come back to your message sooner..!
My grandson is here with us and he and Guss are planning to watch basketball finals tonight..so I will have some more computer time then.... do you think you might be on then..and we could go into chat or perhaps on IM???
I sure hope that you are feeling better this afternoon...
I'll post this and then if the scan stops I'll buzz you... don't want to take the chance on passing a virsu through instant message to you...
Huggs,
Mama
hope to chat with you soon....!
