Good evening Bobby...I see you....
Well, that's enough smart a$$ comments from me for one day!
I better leave now!
You folks have a Good Night.
Oh, yeah, Gracie's a very good chicky mama!
As y’all know, when we have baby chicks, I keep them in a large plastic tub in the bathtub off my bedroom. At the moment, I have four baby chicks in there. They’re about three weeks old. I generally do their housekeeping every morning.
Their water jar was close to empty, so I made a gallon of water with electrolytes and stuff in it, filled the jar and set it on the kitchen counter. I did a few other things in the kitchen and forgot about the jar.
Gracie, who loves babies came to me with her “I want something” whine. I asked her what she wanted, and she whined some more, so I got up to see what might be wrong. Immediately she ran for my bedroom door!
Scratch, scratch, scratch!
I let her into the bedroom, and she ran straight for her chicks, jumped up on the edge of the bathtub and looked in at them. I immediately realized I’d forgotten their water and went to get it while Gracie worried about her babies. Once I gave them their water, they gathered around and drank.
I'm sure she heard their distress call for water and wanted me to take care of her babies!
This same dog has raised two kittens, and this is her second flock of baby chicks! I hold the chicks down for her to check them out. She loves her chicks.
Long time, just checking in to say hello to everyone :) No one is around when I'm on at night, so lost track of the thread
