24. Rain, names, sicknesses


Oh man so I guess I have to be patient.   I am going to love reading it.  I love reading research and such on subject that I know nothing about.  I think it’s exciting and mentally stimulating to read about a new subject.

So off that subject since I am going to wait to read it.  How often does it rain there on the ranch?  Just asking because since school ended up here we have had rain almost non-stop.  We even had a day when the sun did not come out all day it was so dark and depressing.  So that got me thinking about the difference in rainfall.  What is the average rainfall around there?  Does it rain a lot, or a little?  Just curious. It's usually pretty dry here. Like last year, it was so dry we had all of those fires. It almost rained today, but didn't. So sad! I love the rain. Not sure what the average rainfall is, but definitely lower than there, I'm sure.
So cool about finding out the genders and information on your own chickens from the chicken man.  Are you going to change their names? Blue, Green, and Pink will keep their names, but I think my sister is going to change Veratess' name since it's a girl name.
What kinds of illness and sickness do you watch out for with the chickens?  I know that when they get bugs, it is highly curable if you catch it but highly deadly if you do not.  (Learned that on this blog) Haha! So, glad you're learning things from me. It's so fun, because to me, I always thought you were just too smart for me to teach you anything. Haha! I know better now though. Um, we just watch out for any nutrients or things they might be lacking. Like, if their egg shells are too thin they need calcium, stuff like that.
Hey, and do the goats and chickens get colds or little illnesses?  You know how we as Homo sapiens get the common cold, do they?  I don't think so. I know goats can get pneumonia and stuff like that, but I've never heard of them getting a common cold.

 *fun fact for you, homo is the genus of the human species and of course means man, sapiens is the Latin word for wise.  Homo-sapiens is a species of the primate family Hominidae. (I am a creationist not an evolutionist)  So homo-sapiens is considered to be the wise one.  Weird huh? I love your interesting little facts!
