Rose is our lightest bird out of all the white hens. She favors the grains and corn so she doesn't eat as much of the eggs or beans. For a while we thought that she might be getting picked on by the others but after careful observation we have found that she just dawdles while the others are eating. For rose food is not a high priority, she would just rather be watching then joining in a feast. Rose chooses to roost in a crate under the dog heater in the coup and at last evening bird count she can be seen swaddled deep in her straw/pine shaving nest.

Wishlist — most-needed items
The following non-cash items would be extremely helpful. Used but good condition is fine. (For less pressing but still needed wishlist items, click here.)
* Plastic water pitchers — We use these to scoop animal food, and we go through many each year.
* Bandages, gauze — Elastikon-style bandages and vet wrap are used each week to secure the bootie on Dolly the goat's leg where her missing hoof would be. Vet wrap is also used on chickens' feet when they get bumblefoot. Wrapping gauze and gauze pads are frequently used in treating animals.
* 3-gallon water jugs with handles — We lug water to animals, especially in winter when hoses don't work.
* Pyrex mixing bowls and casserole dishes — They don't break when frozen like ceramic and plastic dishes. We use them as feed and water bowls for chickens and rabbits.
* Chain-link panels and horse panels — Additional fencing allows us to expand areas for the animals and to take in more.
* Feed, straw, hay — Any feed, straw or hay will be put to good use. These may be broken bags from stores, straw bales left over from decorations or hay no longer needed if animals die.
* Old towels — These are used for cleaning up and for bedding material, especially for sick animals.
* Bird seed — We feed hundreds of wild birds year-round at CockadoodleMoo and seed is always appreciated.
* Cat litter — The six rescued cats go through lots of litter.
