Between an egg or her Smuckers PB&J uncrustables I can get her to eat that. If you are having trouble getting protein intake for your Mom, try Ensure or Boost or If you need real high protein try She doesn't like the Boost stuff, gotta admit I am not fond of it either, during my transplant they reccomend it, blech, tried warm, cold and the only way I could stand it was mixed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mom will drink a little of it, whatever she gets is still good.

She didn't want to get me any fishing gear. Since we had a decent flock of chickens already, having another was not going to be a problem. So I called her Wooly Bugger . Had her for a couple of years. Broodiest chicken that we have ever had. She got killed by a coon one night. The coons took a beating after that night for sure. Used to trap them and release several miles away. After Wooly was killed, they all got a short trip to the end of the driveway for the trash man to pick up. I love the fact that silkies have that extra toe on each foot. snagged in outlet 3 and N9BOW 1 1

Johnsfolly Posted April 16, 2020 Posted April 16, 2020 In the five years that we had chickens in Columbia, we had two chickens walk off and not get back into the coop in the evening. They never came back. Wooley was the only one that was killed by a critter while in the chicken yard/coop area. After her demise I had put a security bar on their door that kept everything out once it was closed. The door that we got to the egg boxes had bolts that would hold it closed. The roof to the coop overhung the walls so it would take a desperate and acrobatic coon to get to the fencing at the top of the coop. N9BOW, Mitch f and snagged in outlet 3 3

Mom will drink a little of it, whatever she gets is still good. I couldn't stand Boost at first...but i've gotten a taste for it (Strawberry and Choc.).... My Mom would have that every meal if given the opportunity...We watch her protein, salt and sugar intake so we limit that to 1 a day... She likes that before bed....Its a big ole dance between her Kidneys, heart, and liver. Stick Boost in the freezer for a 10-15 min and it gets like a shake MOPanfisher 1
