The neighbor's dog, being a dog, has decided that my chickens taste so good that she will brave electric fences for a meal. So, having lost 4 chickens in the last week, with only 3 remaining, I have decided to give up on my pet chickens for now. I considered attempting to build a truly dog proof enclosure, but that gets dangerously closed to caging them. By the way, I want to know how in the world people can raise free range chickens? When my chickens free range, they are eaten - by hawks, by dogs.
I considered butchering them, which I don't mind. But I am slow at it (about 2 hours per bird) and so it is not really worth the energy.
So my hubby suggested that I find the remaining three hens a good home. And that is what I have done. Happily the woman who came today to pick up the chickens offered us eggs, and to come and visit them. So I am contented with not having to worry about them anymore.
The lemon cake turned out great.
Tomorrow, hubby and I are starting a 10 day raw food cleanse. We will be eating only raw fruits, vegetables and greens for 9 days, following a one day fast. I am really excited about it. I did a raw food diet for one day while the family was out of town a couple of weeks ago, and it was really lovely. I was surprised by how much energy I had and by how I didn't feel hungry or deprived.
I am hoping to lose some weight (all my pants are tight since all the great food in Jamaica) and just be healthier. I found this video to be very inspiring. I don't have diabetes, but I do have other health issues (hypothyroidism and osteoporosis). Wouldn't it be wonderful to reverse them with diet?
