Groceries, anyway.

Picked up, a bit late, later than even suggested.  Even so, in a reasonably timeframe so no one was butthurt.  I haven't put it up yet, falling, hard.  But... I will clear away the freezer top and get it put up.  That might also kickstart the work in the kitchen.  Not all that much, but... it's... stacking up.

It is still cloudy, and has been raining and sprinkling through the day.  While upstairs, dressing for the outing... shorts just wouldn't do today... I noticed Kay and chicks out back.  With them not worried, and peck foraging, I was able to count.  Nine chicks.  Two eggs remain in the nest, if I suspect those either didn't, or won't be, hatched.  While the drakes do try to fertilize her, even while brooding, it doesn't always happen.  The hens are in such a state, when they go out for feed and water, that it's... difficult to get near them.

I spread feed for them, and that is where they were eating.  So, for today, that is how I will continue to feed them.  Water?  I'll... put out a few bowls, plus occasional runoff and puddles from rain.  It's what I can do for now.  I really don't know how best to serve them.

Oh, I'll put a few bowls of water out, then scatter more feed.  Then I'll figure out food, putting it away and all.  I found fermented, live, sauerkraut, finally.  I will be eating that with sausage tonight.  I'm not sure if I should heat it?  Just heating the kielbasa, and plating a side of the 'kraut?  I'll... investigate.  Why have 'living' food cooked to death?  Just... thinking.  Later.
